Testing our Cheap Electric Outboard for the First Time! | ⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵
Sailing 6 years ago 7,421 views
In this video we test our brand new 12v Electric Outboard, order an all-singing, all-dancing VHF radio and take you on a drone flight above England. We are super happy with our Bison 68 lbs thrust Electric Outboard (a.k.a. Trolling Motor) and we have been recharging the batteries we use to power it with a small flexible solar panel. We will have much more about this in future videos: we have done some testing of bollard pull, speed, Ah consumption etc. and are experimenting with powering this electric outboard engine with a tiny Lithium-Ion battery pack... (Kind of like having a Torqeedo without the price tag!) Here's an Amazon link to the electric outboard we bought: https://fave.co/2KVKp0A Subscribe to our channel for more updates! ⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵ brings you the sailing shenanigans of Chris (British), Rossella (Italian), and baby Emma (Britalian) as we sail our 1992 Bavaria 350.

- We need no wind!! :-)
Have you seen my own boat Stimmaren as well? Considered a trip "on the cut" with her but she is little to wide... (8'4")
- Then Marguerite is more suitable but needs good weather! :-D

I use a 55 lb thrust to power a 17' keel boat when the winds are light. At full chap it will push us along at 3-4 knots. I'm particular, so I cut the shaft about 9" shorter to make the control unit sit just above my transom.
