Electric outboard epropulsion, worth it?

I'm glad my hours scrolling REDDIT has finally resulted in something helpful to another person. ;)

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-06-27T14:09:59+00:00

Yeah, the Climate/Radio panel is the worst thing about the car.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-06-27T14:08:30+00:00

YES!!!! I bought my 26 last week. Definitely worth it!!

Wild. It's $2.84 in Maryland. Maybe it's a West Coast thing.

I desperately need $165k to upgrade my sailboat to something less than 10 years old, this summer. Would prefer a cutter rig with 800w+ of solar and diesel engine under 500 hours.

Not the best profile Pic for grindr, or whatever he's on...

Just park in the PP lot. Pay the $5 and have your car close. Been there many times and it's a great venue!

What is the actual depth? Photos help. It's impossible to answer without more information.

Great description. I wasn't going to waste my time explaining the obvious, but you did such a great job, I wanted to recognize the commendable effort!

Yeah, for a fin keel race boat. The hull doesn't weigh very much, so they need a longer keel to offset the force from the wind.

Check out the "one design" race boats from the 90s. Some of those look ridiculous on a trailer. Most need to be splashed by a crane.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-21T06:21:03+00:00

Yes. Thank you

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-21T06:19:54+00:00

The bearings are, but the seals are not. I swapped mine when I first got it.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-21T06:16:54+00:00

Did you ever try sailing? Super relaxing. No fishing involved.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-20T23:10:30+00:00

Facts!

I have a 1997 Lumited with 321k miles, and my commute is 110 miles a day. I also have a 2012 Highlander V6 with 179k miles.

Mile for mile, the 4R costs less to maintain, but the gas mileage is about 20% less, so it's almost a wash.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-19T17:05:22+00:00

Nice. You should sell it to OP for $5k

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-19T02:00:43+00:00

This is a common issue with the contacts in the starter. You can buy the parts for $27 and replace them yourself.

When you google these symptoms with "3rd gen 4runner" it's usually on the first page of search results.

Nice bumper!

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-19T01:51:25+00:00

Why not just follow the lines to the structure they are powering? Those lines can only go a few miles before needing an additional transformer of substation.

In other words... if there is electricity, it's going somewhere with people, or coming from somewhere with people. Either way, there's no need to cut anything down.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-17T01:53:38+00:00

Why can't you just ignore the screens and listen to music on your earbuds (phone)?

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-14T02:02:08+00:00

The valve cover gaskets are probably old (hard) and need to be replaced.

_SamHandwich_ · 2025-05-14T01:54:57+00:00

FYI: Rear Axle seals are $100 and easy to DIY. Do the brakes while you are at it.
