Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 -Electric Motor, 20" Shaft

9.9 HP Equivalent | Commercial-Grade Electric Propulsion | 20" Shaft

The Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 is a rugged, commercial-grade electric outboard designed for sailboats, dinghies, and displacement hulls up to 6 tons. Delivering quiet, emission-free performance comparable to a 9.9 HP petrol outboard (with thrust comparable to 15 HP), it provides strong, reliable power without fuel, fumes, or routine maintenance.

Built for demanding marine environments, the latest generation Cruise 6.0 has been enhanced to meet the challenges of everyday commercial use. It features high-grade saltwater-resistant aluminum construction with advanced galvanic corrosion protection, delivering long-term durability in both fresh and saltwater environments. The reinforced design improves protection when running aground and ensures dependable performance in harsh conditions.

This tiller-steered (TS) model integrates Torqeedo’s TQ-Bus system for intelligent power management. A built-in GPS and onboard computer display real-time data including speed, power consumption, battery charge, and remaining range, while TorqView app connectivity allows for easy system monitoring directly from your mobile device.
