The Torqeedo Travel 1003 is a fully-waterproof, three-horsepower electric outboard. Its integrated 29.6-volt lithium-manganese battery provides an estimated 10.5 hours of runtime at 1.5 to 2.0 knots, 3.5 hours at 2.5 to 3.0 knots (half throttle), and half an hour at 4.5 to 5.0 knots (full throttle). This 30-pound electric is appropriate for inflatables and small boats up to 3,000 pounds; it also makes a suitable sail boat motor. It is available in long- and short-shaft versions. A full battery recharge takes about 15 hours for the Travel 1003. This motor will also accept power from solar chargers (Torqeedo sells one for $999) and onboard generators. A feature reviewers really like is the onboard GPS chip, which provides a continually updated range estimate based upon current usage. The results are reported via a display integrated onto the tiller. The display also indicates battery charge and boat speed. Reviewers enjoy the smooth power delivery of the Travel 1003 and praise its build quality. This motor carries a two-year warranty.
