We set up and demonstrate the Takacat 260S inflatable dinghy and Epropulsion Spirit Plus 1kw Electric Outboard. Our top speed at full 1,000 watt output with one 180lb person in the dinghy was about 5 knots. That leaves only 1 hour 15 minutes run time but remarkably the motor will push the dinghy all day at about 2.5 knots using less than 100 watts. Somewhere in between those speeds you'll find the best combination of speed and range. Recharging the 48v battery with the standard supplied AC charger can take up to 7 hours and there is an optional fast charger available. Don't be surprised that the charger gets very hot to the touch which is normal. The owner plans to charge the battery when at anchor by plugging it into his 1500 watt DC to AC inverter powered off the boat's battery bank. There is also an optional 12v charger available and you can charge it from solar as well. Although not needed on a dinghy, there is a Spirit 1.0 EVO model available for small sailboats that has a regeneration feature to allow the outboard to recharge the battery under sail. The Takacat 260S dinghy is the smallest version available at 8'6" overall and 57lbs. The open transom and inflatable raised floor allow it to be lighter and stow more compact than standard inflatables. They also sell a popular 260LX model that has an open bow which makes it 3 lbs lighter but it will be a wetter ride in anything other than flat water. The Takacat 260S capacity is listed as 3 people / 793 lbs. But in calm waters I'm sure it can handle 4 people of average weight at the slow speeds an electric outboard will deliver. https://onlineoutboards.com/products/takacat-260-s-inflatable-catamaran https://www.epropulsion.com/spirit-1/ Purchased from Annapolis Hybrid Marine ePropulsion dealer https://www.annapolishybridmarine.com/ We can be reached at atomvoyages.com or if you have a classic sailboat and want to share your experiences or have questions on fitting out, consider joining the Plastic Classic Forum at https://plasticclassicforum.com/forum/ I'm a moderator on the forum and answer questions there.
