Cosa tratta questo video
Sam Holmes tests the Temo electric outboard, a 450-watt motor designed for small dinghies and inflatable rafts.2:18 The unit weighs approximately 10 pounds and features an integrated lithium battery within the shaft, eliminating the need for external wiring or separate battery boxes.0:40 It mounts directly onto a standard dinghy oarlock using specific adapters, which replaces the need for traditional transom-mounted outboard clamps.1:46 The motor includes a 12-volt charger compatible with boat solar setups.1:11 During initial testing, the motor proved difficult to steer in tight quarters because its thrust tends to push the dinghy sideways.3:32 After a month of use, the operator developed a technique of using short bursts of throttle while pulling the motor hard over to pivot the boat effectively.5:28 The motor’s light weight allows for easy removal and transport, which prevents theft when leaving the dinghy on a beach.5:45
