New electric motor setup. Epropulsion. Not to happy its from china but I haven't been that happy with my Chinese 2.3 Honda. Reviews have not been too good but so far its been great all summer, makes absolutely no sound at all, super reliable, so far.
It allows me to mount the battery & tiller on the back of the hull. That way I could shorten up the extension mount 6" (from 24" to 18", could probably shorten more) from what I had, also 10 pounds less weight on that arm.

I don't know. They post, then after a while they disappear.

Your links don't work for me. Maybe cos you have a google account and I don't.

Can you perhaps give a link to where you bought it?

Your links don't work for me either and I have a google account.

imgBB hosts photos for free if you want to try a different option.

Right now they work for me, in1 hour they might not. It's frustrating. In the past I came to this site every day. Now, once a week.

I have an epropulsion motor, and I love it. I got the EVO Remote. It has no tiller, so I lock it in the center and use the rudders. I use the remote handheld unit for adjusting the speed, and the cable is long enough that I can sit on the wing and adjust the speed. It has the ability to run wirelessly, but it has been a bit of a pain to do that, so I just use it wired. Then, if it falls off, I don't lose it. :-)

It also has regeneration, but I never use it long enough to run out of power on the battery, so I don't bother.
