Nice, what brand outboard and where from? That would make a good backup motor to my primary 48v.
Thanks,
Brian

Just bought for $315 included shipping a 4hp outboard 48v I got then a 15a @ 48v lithium battery. Slightly more powerful than my old 3HP Yamaha outboard, I tested it at ¾ of the throttle for 80 minutes about 5 knots on my 2.3m tender. The outboard is rated 1000w... It weights only 10kg. t is simple to use. It is perfect to run from marina to mooring.. I now used it several times.( And I don't need to stop at the petrol station for a 10l tank.... mixing oil ... smelly hands...pull the rope....will it start?? ...$300 service?)
It gives me a spare/emergency 48v battery for the main engine. And I will soon remove the lead house batteries for another 48v pack with a DC 48v to DC 12v converter.
Two 5 hp outboard 1200w models could be the main propulsion for a light day-racing catamaran.Thank you for reading
