Description
The Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 with remote control is an electric outboard motor designed for medium to large vessels, such as sailboats, displacement boats, and cabin cruisers, where high thrust and precise control from the helm are required. It is designed for structured installations with a dedicated console or helm station.
The system uses external batteries , allowing the electrical system to be designed based on the range requirements and usage profile of the vessel. Electronic power management allows for progressive and controllable power delivery, useful during port maneuvers, docking, and constant-speed cruising.
The Cruise 12.0 is ideal as a main engine on electrified boats or as an alternative to traditional engines on sailboats and displacement hulls, offering quiet operation, zero vibration, and greater onboard comfort. Remote control improves ergonomics and precision maneuvering.
As with all electrical systems, performance and range depend on the capacity of the installed batteries, the load, and operating conditions . Installation requires careful planning of the on-board electrical system.
