Torqeedo's Travel 503 and 1003 motors are the most robust, efficient electric outboards on the market. The 1003 has more horsepower, higher efficiency battery capacity, and an on-board-computer (including GPS and real-time range calculation). 3 HP output combined with lithium battery technology provides quiet, clean and low-maintenance power.
Compared to today's modern 4-stroke outboards, electric motors are a more economical solution that is also better for the environment. Advantages include no oil changes, record efficiency, and usable on protected waters that ban traditional gasoline outboards.
A true primary propulsion system, the rugged Torqeedo 1003 is the only non-gasoline outboard effective for use with tenders, dinghies, and day-sailors weighing up to 1.5 tons.

Comments about Torqeedo Torqeedo Travel 1003 Electric Outboard Motor:
I use this on the intercoastal in Fla. one thing I don't like is the lack of availability of raising and lowering the shaft. If the tide goes out while your out your stuck. It's either all the way in the water or all the way out, no in between. Battery takes 15 hours to charge!
It has quiet and has a punch for a while!
