Suitable for dinghies and sailboats weighing up to four tons, Torqeedo's Cruise 2.0 is an electric outboard motor designed to meet the demanding challenges of every day commercial use. This ensures the electric outboard engine is rugged, even in the event that you run aground, and is protected against corrosion when used extensively in salt water.

Cruise 2.0 does everything a 8hp petrol powered outboard engine can, but is quieter, lighter, more environmentally friendly and more convenient. Furthermore, unlike a petrol powered outboard, the throttle response is instananeous. The amount of power you have left is visible on the electric outboard engine's onboard computer, complete with GPS based range calculation and charger.

The electric outboard motor can be easily mounted on your boat with a couple of tools. Once mounted, a power supply from at least one lithium battery (Power 24-3500) or with lead batteries (lead-gel or AGM) must be provided for operation.

For a displacement boat making its way through the water, the required propulsive power increases in proportion to the cube of the speed. So if you want to double your speed, you need eight times as much power. However, this works both ways so a small reduction in speed is enough to increase the achievable range substantially. A range guide can be found below.

Torqeedo Travel's on-board computer calculates the remaining range constantly by linking the motor's consumption data with the charging level of the batteries and the speed over the ground of the GPS. This allows you to read the remaining range in real time from the motor display, or Torqeedo's TorqTrac smartphone app.

Key Features:
Aluminium fin coated in a polyurethane foam for additional impact protection when running aground.
Battery cable bridge for lead batteries.
Comprehensive galvanic corrosion protection through careful matching of all materials and meticulous isolation of materials with different electrochemical properties.
Emergency magnetic stop key.
Fuse and main switch.
High efficiency outboard with 2000W input power - equivalent to a 5hp petrol outboard.
Highest grade seatwater-proof aluminium (AIMgSi1), hard anodised for a long service life, even in the harshest conditions.
Lubricant free polymer plain bearings that protect against damage from fishing lines or debris and provide improved mechanical support for a propeller shaft - wear resistant and maintenance free.
Rugged aluminium pylon with reinforced fin - extra robust when running aground.
Shaft sealant rings mounted in the protected area on the inside of the pylons.
Suitable for inflatable dinghies and other small boats.
Waterproof to IP67 standards.
