Great piece of kit
Good build quality, clear instructions and surprisingly good performance. Battery capacity is very good but takes a long time (12-18 hrs) to charge fully. Much easier to handle than equivalent petrol outboard and no oil or petrol to leak or smell.

Lightweight, noiseless and efficient for using the tender at anchor!

Ottimo prodotto
This is the second time I have bought a Torqueedo electric motor from Svb marine. I am really satisfied with the product but also (and above all) with the assistance received from SVB on several occasions. Professionalism is truly indisputable. Well done

Elektro fürs Beiboot
As expected and also rated by SVB, expensive but very good!

The transit time from Germany to Greece is too long, 14 days. Since a battery was also included, it had to be sent with DHL. It was not due to the extradition in GR. The transport stalled somewhere in the Balkans. Ms. Gerdes tried very hard to do the research.

Es mangelt an Kleinigkeiten
Although it is intended for use on eg sailing ships, a 12v charging cable is missing. Worse still, there is no detailed manual that you should get yourself from the network. The performance and the range are better than expected

la notice n explique pas l usage de 3 petites pièces.
apart from 2 or 3 plastic parts, the product seems robust. correct propulsion for a 3d 270 tender

Not so much for salt water
After the first season, the aluminum above the waterline has corroded and the paint is partially peeling off.
Disappointing for the price. The plastic parts are very brittle and break easily. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to.

I definitely wouldn't buy it again.

Electric dinghy engine
We use the engine as a dinghy drive. Unfortunately I am disappointed with a price of over 2500 €. Cheap plastic as a pin with small screw connectors for which there are not even protective caps, although it is written "protect from moisture". Cheap plastic for the accumulator. No protective cap for the cable from the motor to the battery. Unfortunately long battery charging times. Operation is easy.

Problèmes de fiabilitépuissance
I've had this motor for 5 years and I'm rowing it almost all the time. The propeller fuse is fragile and the propeller separates easily. After a rupture of the fuse, the propeller must also be changed (weakened plastic) Battery sealing problem which requires its replacement. Control electronics problem preventing the engine from starting. The plastic ages badly and becomes brittle on the battery (mechanical connection problem battery-motor) The electrical connectors are fragile and difficult to connect. They also pose problems of bad contacts. For use on the high seas the engine lacks power. An expensive and unreliable product.

Poor quality
Starting is delayed, so that nothing happens for a few seconds...if you open the gas further, the engine fires with a bang. Forwards and backwards takes a lot of getting used to. The quality of the case and all metal parts is definitely not! suitable for sea water. The case blooms on all corners and edges under the paint. the contacts are extremely oxidized and very susceptible to bending. Too bad the idea is good. Far too expensive for this quality

Quality is poor
This is already the second Travel, we returned the 1003 because the battery burned up overnight in the locker. The battery connection on this one melted after a year. The device is about twice as expensive compared to equivalent outboard motors. We were also happy to accept this from an environmental point of view, but the quality and service simply do not match the price. In addition to the battery problems mentioned above, the workmanship is rather inferior. Even above the waterline, the engine under the paint was corroded after just one year. The plastic housing of the battery and tiller is very brittle and easily damaged. The service is quite difficult to reach and the response times are rather borderline. My conclusion after three years of use OK for occasional use for fishing, not recommended for regular use for the dinghy, for example on long journeys.
