Viking Marine is delighted to introduce you to the Temo 450 Electric Outboard engine.

Eco-friendly, universal and light, the TEMO propulsion system takes care of both boaters and the environment.

The Temo 450 is a unique approach to the portable electric outboard. Its unique and clever design won it the Metstrade DAME Research and Development Excellence in Diversity Award, beating 46 other innovative products.

The highly portable Temo 450 consists of a plastic propellor surrounded by a protective cage on the end of a telescopic pole which contains the battery and motor. Weighing less than 5kg it easily attaches to an oarlock bracket on the stern of the boat.

The Temo 450 engine is so versatile it can be used on a wide variety of boats

Its weight makes a massive difference when passing it down to a tender or simply carrying it away with you when you are away from your boat.

Temo 450 is the equivalent to a 2.5HP engine. The increased efficiency of this electric engine means you can do anything you would previously have done with your 2.5HP outboard.

At full throttle, it will run for between 40 and 45 minutes but can last well over an hour with more careful use allowing you to take multiple trips to shore without the need to recharge.

The unit can then be recharged from a 220 or 12-volt charger which takes three hours from empty to full.

The unit is fully waterproof with a rating of IP67 and there is an optional life jacket to make it float. It is designed for use in either salt or fresh water.

The unit is available for sale at €1,550 from Viking Marine here
