Hello All,
I hope this is okay to post on here?
Cape Yachts has been been appointed as an epropulsion dealer, if anybody would like to ‘try’ a spirit o/board on their CC19. We are looking for a test boat, the engine will be provided FOC for the trial.
Please let me know if you would like to take part.
Thanks
Chris

Re: electric outboards
Hi Chris - best of luck with your plans for Cape Yachts.
I keep Peggy on the Broads at Horning and have often thought electric propulsion would be ideal for these waters. I recently replaced my outboard and I did consider getting a ePropulsion Spirit1+
The considerations that finally drove the decision to get another petrol powered engine were: (a) insufficient power (this has been addressed by the Spirit2 which was not available at the time) (b) cost and (c) range anxiety.
A motor pod that could be fitted as a plug in the outboard well with the batteries stowed centrally would, I think, be ideal for the Cape Cutter. The Spirit2's ability to use a remote battery is a distinct advantage.
