It varies across various dams.

On some electric only dams, you can leave your outboard on as long as you don't use it eg Lake MacDonald.

Some dams have horsepower restriction and speed limit eg no engine over 60 Hp / 6 knots on Lenthals Dam.

Somerset Dam has no restriction on outboard size & speed whereas Wivenhoe Dam has a speed restriction of 6 knots.

It pays to do your homework before visiting a dam.

Thanks @Luc53 and @rayke1938 maybe i can convince the better half that i need a second boat 🙂

Hey Hweebe

Hopefully she will agree, but if you are interested, maybe a kayak would suit you? I know they aren't as convenient as boats and are a bit more work, but I think it would be cheaper than a new boat (if that's an issue). 

Cheers Hamish 🙂
