Regular outboards do have a fair weight/hp compared to e-motor and

plan to fill your batteries?

Somebody makes a four horsepower electric outboard. 48 Volt.

The Navigator we had had two, 5 hp electric motors. One was the bow
thruster, the other the stern thruster.
12 volts. Battery draw was over 300 amps (fused at 400).

Duty cycle was limited to about 10 percent. Not much good for trolling.
