Tell us your opinions in the “Canadian Electric Outboard Motor Survey”
We are hearing a lot about electric motors in the marine space. Electric motors are hardly new. Elco offered electric motors for marine use starting in 1893! Back then, it didn’t take long for internal combustion engines to gain the market lead, but new battery technology and today’s environmental challenges have electric very much in the public eye.
Tell us your opinions. We have created a short survey that will take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete. By filling out the survey, you will be entered for a chance to win a $100 CAD gift card from The Binnacle. Just click here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GCFL7LL
We appreciate your input!
