Electric propulsion for tenders and larger boats

Hi Simon, we've had an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Evo for 2.5 years now. The Evo bit refers to its ability to charge from the spinning prop when towed or mounted on a bracket in the stern ( a feature we are 75% through completing. So far we are very happy. It charges slowly but satisfactorily from 12v and faster on an inverter. The furthest we have ever gone is 12nm and there was plenty of charge left at the end. Speed wise, well it replace a 2hp 2 stroke so it is quieter, less smelly, less messy and faster to boot.
