Yes it is!
We are happy and proud manufacture TEMO·450 at home in the Pays de la Loire Region. The modeling, creation and assembly are carried out here, in Carquefou near Nantes.
TEMO·450 is robust. Nevertheless, like any valuable device, it should be handled with care.
Thought to be portable and compact, its transport and cover bag (available in our accessories) will allow you to store it very easily in your garage or on the deck of a boat. It would therefore be a shame not to use it and prevent a fall.
The propeller area is protected by a very resistant nozzle in order to limit shocks and ensure your safety.
And if the propeller inadvertently encounters too much resistance, it will break before damaging the engine shaft. So don't panic, it's designed for that.
Spare propellers are available on our accessories page. It is very easy to replace.
Yes, it is!
In every sense of the word! Its tubular shape makes it very easy to grab (even for the most small and delicate hands) :-)

This makes it very easy to carry away. It has a compact size for a minimum encumbrance (the magic of its tubular shape!).
Also note that it is not polluting (and that's great). Say goodbye to the petrol canister that smells, stains all your stuff, spills into the harbour and requires regular refills... TEMO·450 is recharged by electricity and guarantees you cleanliness and SILENCE throughout your trip. Magic !
Then, TEMO·450 has been thought for all waters, even the shallowest. No more need to move the engine when you reach the beach or when you cross a sandbank, TEMO·450 adjusts to the height of the water and guarantees you a "dry feet" beaching!
Another benefit : TEMO·450 is for everyone. Little sailors and big sailors. Its ergonomic handle has been designed for both right and left handers. And its adjustable telescopic handle allows you to adapt to your position in all circumstances.
With TEMO·450, no more troubles while installating your engine. Who hasn't almost ended up in the water by fixing his motor to the transom? Its featherweight allows you to hold it in one hand to install it easily and its rowlock socket offers an almost instantaneous fixing.
In terms of thrust, TEMO·450 is 3 times more powerful than a single person rowing.
So here again TEMO·450 meets 90% of the needs of boaters in the tender. It can propel boats of up to 2.5m with 2 people on board and loaded with equipment. And even larger boats such as small sailing boats for harbour manoeuvres. Small but strong
No need to worry! We thought of everything.

It is more efficient to motor at around 60-70% rpm than at full throttle. In general, for precise manoeuvres, accelerate to between 10 and 50%. You’ll be surprised!
