I'm absolutely thrilled with the Elite outboard motor. It's incredibly easy to handle, and its light weight means it can be quickly pulled out of the lazarette and attached to the dinghy. I thought twice about doing that with a gasoline engine. No more fumes or noise, and no need to carry an extra can of gasoline on board. The thrust is perfectly adequate for a dinghy, much more than you'd expect from such a small electric motor. The battery is more than enough for multiple trips ashore and back within the anchorage. Against the wind, two people can make good progress with 150W, and with the wind, even just 50W is sufficient. This means the battery lasts quite a while. I couldn't get much further with the 1.4L tank of our Tohatsu outboard. The little Elite is also very well-designed mechanically, for example, the tiller can be locked in 90-degree increments and is extendable. Highly recommended! P.S. Order the 12V charger at the same time.

We anchor very frequently, and the Kobra 16Kg has never disappointed us since 2010. Easy to use, fast input response. Highly recommended.
