The Temo 450, which is reminiscent of an oversized whisk we have already tested. Now comes the big brother Temo 1000, this time modelled on a dinghy rudder, which is particularly advantageous with reduced thrust. The boat remains manoeuvrable. It is mounted using a transom bracket. The highlight here is that it is not permanently attached to the motor, which simplifies installation. The coupling mechanism can be rotated 360 degrees. This means you don't have to bend over the stern, but can mount the drive in the boat and then swivel it out. When the motor is suspended, the battery is inserted into the housing from above.
Temo 1000 suitable for long and short shafts
A small display shows the charge status, the current power and the estimated range. The extendable tiller is practical. You can either leave it on the housing and just turn the throttle handle, which then sticks upwards, or you can pull it out and fold it down. Thanks to the height adjustment, the Temo is suitable for both long and short-handed use. The price for the complete package is 2,903 euros.
