Torqeedo Electric Motor | Cruise 6.0 TL

Rated as a 9.9 hp equivalent, well above the smaller Cruise models, the Cruise 6.0 TL runs tiller steering on a 30-inch long shaft, electric start, and a motor weight of 48 lbs. Torqeedo aims this one at dinghies and sailboats as large as 6 tons.

An onboard computer that updates as you go

Rather than a single fixed figure, the computer built into this tiller works out remaining range continuously from GPS data, so the number shown changes with speed, load, and conditions rather than staying static for the whole trip.

Power source

A single Power 48-5000 lithium battery, weighing 80 lbs and purchased on its own, is the pack Torqeedo built this motor around; lead-gel or AGM lead batteries are also an option. The battery and a charger both need to be added to the order separately, since neither ships with the motor.

What is bundled, and shaft fit

Included in the box: the outboard with tiller steering, a cable set with main switch, a matched propeller, and an emergency magnetic stop key. This 30-inch shaft is the taller-transom option in the Cruise 6.0 pair, so check that measurement against your boat before the order goes through, rather than assuming the shorter TS variant would work just as well.

Coverage? Torqeedo backs this motor for 2 years under non-commercial use, with an IP67 rating for water resistance.
