Cosa tratta questo video

The OCT Tender 300, a 34-kilogram carbon fiber dinghy manufactured in New Zealand, pairs with an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 EVO 3HP electric outboard for ship-to-shore transit.0:36 The tender features factory-installed davit lifting points and provides high stability for boarding.1:17 The electric motor operates via a single-button start, eliminates gasoline odors, and runs silently.2:38 However, the system’s range is limited to 5–7 miles, with a maximum speed of 4.5 knots, and the battery requires 4–5 hours to recharge after approximately 50 minutes of full-throttle use.3:50 While the dinghy handles waves and heavy loads well, the motor lacks the power for longer excursions across large bays.6:58 The owner notes that the tender’s high cost—approximately 17,000 New Zealand dollars—and long shipping lead times are significant factors.5:49 Despite the convenience of the electric setup, the owner intends to switch to a 6HP gasoline outboard to gain speed and range for longer trips.10:54
