Bought this short shaft motor last year and then sold the sailboat this motor fits on, so now selling the motor. Motor used only 2 times and in new condition. I can tell you where to purchase the Battery from for approximately $900. Several members in our club have this exact same motor and love it. No more motor maintenance costs with the electric motor. This motor is always dependable. The battery snaps on/off, has LCD that tells you how much time you have left on the battery.
