The Temo 1000 comes with an exchangeable battery and is intended to be suitable for small and, above all, lightweight boats up to eight metres in length. The design of the rudder blade is something special

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.

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.

Editor Test & Technology

Ole Puls was born in Schleswig in 1999. He quickly swapped the football pitch for the Schlei and grew up sailing a wide variety of dinghies and tall ships. From his grandfather's self-built wooden opti and a Europe to a 49er and an X362 Sport, there was a lot to choose from. After leaving school, Puls decided to train as a boat builder at the high-tech shipyard Knierim Yachtbau in Kiel in 2016. He successfully completed his training in 2020 and stayed at the shipyard as a bachelor. In 2022, he decided not only to build boats, but also to test them. Since then, he has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag in the Test & Technology section of BOOTE magazine. The training he received and the eye for detail and quality of workmanship he acquired help him immensely today. Even though he is a regatta sailor with heart and soul, he feels right at home on motorboats and enjoys separating his professional and private lives and yet combining them. Because we all know one thing: there is simply no better place to be than on the water.
