Other than instruments, VHF, and a DVD movie here and there on a
little player, I don't really use any power, so a pretty small solar
panel, coupled with limited amounts of motor sailing usually leaves me
with a surplus.
Running a god sized chart plotter and radar underway can use as much
as 20 to 30 amps of 12 volt power. I stand by my original statement
that outboards are not suitable for serious cruising.

Another gross exaggeration to try and support an unsupportable
premise.

I HAVE a chartplotter and a radar on my sailboat. There is no setting
I could use on them that would come even remotely close to drawing 20
to 30 amps.

See my post Salty, he means amp-hours,,, it's like if I asked you what
kind of gas milage you got on the highway and you said "Oh about 23
gallons".
