I know they make an air cooled small outboard. You can get them at Cabela's. I never heard of them making an elcectric motor though, not even electric start.
I copied the page read below.
looks like a good one
3 hp Briggs and Stratton Electric Outboard Motor
150 Thrust , Tiller or Remote Model.
This is a brand new 3 hp electric outboard motor from Briggs and Stratton. This is an ideal outboard boat motor for usage on lakes and bodies of water that have combustion outboard engine exclusion. The 3 hp Briggs and Stratton electric outboard motor produces 150lbs of thrust which is equivalent to a 3 hp gasoline outboard motor. This engine is perfect for small fishing boats on lakes and rivers. You can expect about 8 hours of running while at trolling speeds and about 2.3 hours of run time while at cruising speed. The motor is powered by the Etek™ electric motor system which is known for reliability, durability, and quietness. The superior technology produces a lightweight aluminum frame with a permanent magnet field providing high efficiency and minimal loss of speed. These 3 hp outboards have a Kort™ Nozzel/ Kaplan Prop which enhances thrust and run time. The 3 hp electric outboard motor has forward, neutral, and reverse which is a electronically controlled.......no mechanical shifting.
Until now, the price of primary propulsion electric outboards ranged from $2,400 and $5,000. Today the Briggs & Stratton Electric Outboard is available for just $1,750 MSRP... a price nearly $700 less than the competition.
As always, dependability is upheld by the standard Briggs & Stratton 2 Year Limited Warranty covered by over 30,000 service dealers worldwide.This motor is designed for freshwater use. Briggs and Stratton will not honor the warranty if this engine is used in saltwater.
