T&T: Torqeedo Electric Outboard

[Jim Barrentine]

I just read the article on the Torqeedo electric outboard in the 
current issue of Passagemaker.  Sounds pretty neat and just might fit 
in with my use of my dinghy.

Does anyone have experience with the Torqeedo especially in salt 
water environments?  They are made in Germany by a land locked 
company and all the company's ads show them being used on fresh water 
lakes.  I am concerned about the shaft being aluminum and wonder how 
the electrical connectors would stand up to salt water.
