I am surprised by how many electric outboards I have seen at dinghy docks. In Alderney, one-third of the dinghies tied up had electric outboards.
I bought the Spirit 1.0 Evo Remote for the 2021 sailing season. I wasn’t sure whether to buy the wireless remote controlled version or the tiller one. Though its primary purpose would be on my Walker Bay 8 tender with tube kit, I also wanted to fit the engine to one of the transoms of, a Fountaine Pajot Maldives 32. This way, it could provide emergency propulsion and low speed propulsive steering, as well as being able to recharge itself through solar power. In this scenario, the electric outboard would be controlled from the cockpit in conjunction with the main engine.
