The Lightest, Most Compact Dinghy Package with the Takacat 260LX and The Epropulsion eLite Outbaord

A brief demo of the Takacat 260LX and the Epropuslion eLite 500w Electric Outboard. This is a great option for boat owners of smaller power or sailboats who want a dinghy but don't have a lot of space to store it. At 72.5lbs complete there's not much else like it. The eLite has plenty of power to get you to shore and back many times and it can also power your toys IE kayaks and SUPs.

I feel this is just the beginning, revolutions start in small places. I will always miss my Bolger nymph and short oars, but that was then.

My Takacat is rusting!
The transom tubes of the open transom are made of stainless steel 304 (V2A) (also for cost reasons). The tubes show ugly rust after a short time in a salt water environment. From my point of view, the maintenance is very time-consuming and is not reasonable for me. Unfortunately, I only found out about this disadvantage of the high maintenance effort after the purchase. For me, this product is not recommended for salt water environments. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed with the Takacat 340 LS for the above reasons. It does not meet my expectations and, in my opinion, is only partially suitable for my application as a full time yacht tender.
I quote from Takacat's care instructions: 1. A first care step when driving in salt water is washing the transom tubes at the end of a trip with fresh water (fresh water) including thorough drying. 2. The insides of the transom tubes can be pulled through with an extra-long bottle brush. 3. If corrosion has formed, it can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner. 4. If you drive permanently in salt water, it is advisable to spray the transom tubes and optional slip wheels with a seawater-resistant stainless steel protector.
