    By friend just bought a 1957 ELTO 12 that was converted to electric. The motor is only good for up to three hp I believe. Sadly, I don’t have any photos. It took an adapter plate and some machining, but it works. You can buy a new 9.9 hp electric outboard for about the same price as a new gas powered machine. Its the batteries that are the problem. Expensive, heavy and consumable.

    I guess I was wrong. Here are a few photos of it. The seller claims it is a 5 hp gas motor equivalent. FWIW
