Interesting Hydrodynamic Oddity

www.epropulsion.com/outboards/elite/

Small portable power source quick-disconnects so you can hide it when it's not in use.



Compare with an conventional large prop on a tubular shaft.



The hydrodynamic drag drops from 0.47 to 0.14. The tiller folds to make a carry handle.



OTOH they're a thousand dollars.
