Description

The Torqeedo POD Cruise 3.0 FP is an electric pod propulsion system designed for fixed installation on small and medium-sized vessels, such as sailboats and displacement boats. It is designed for those who want an integrated, compact, and quiet electric solution, suitable for both main and auxiliary propulsion.

The engine is installed directly under the hull, reducing internal bulk and mechanical transmissions. The system uses external batteries and electronic power management for smooth, precise control, particularly useful during harbor maneuvers and low-speed cruising.

The POD Cruise 3.0 FP is suitable for boats where simple construction, silence, and low maintenance are priorities. The absence of vibrations improves onboard comfort, and the immediate response facilitates maneuvering.

As with any electric propulsion system, performance and range depend on battery capacity and operating conditions . Installation requires careful design of the hull and electrical system.

Torqeedo Cruise 3.0 FP Electric Motor - 6 HP Electric Saildrive

The Torqeedo Cruise 3.0 FP is a fixed-position electric pod motor , designed specifically for sailing boats. Compact, efficient, and quiet, it represents a valid electric alternative to traditional internal combustion saildrives.

  • High efficiency fixed installation pod motor
  • Equivalent to 6 HP
  • Integrated on-board computer and display with range and runtime calculation via GPS

The ideal electric solution for sailing boats

Cruise Fixed Pod motors are the reference electric choice for sailing boats . All models are equipped with integrated GPS, on-board computer and display , to always keep track of the main navigation parameters.

  • Speed
  • Power absorbed
  • Battery charge status
  • Residual autonomy

The pylon has a compact, lightweight and low drag design, thanks to an advanced helical gear transmission , which ensures efficiency, silence and minimal impact on sailing performance.

Performance and adjustable autonomy

The Cruise 3.0 FP is a 24 Volt electric propulsion system, equivalent to 6 horsepower , ideal for:

  • sailing boats up to 30 feet
  • displacement hulls up to 3 tons

Combined with a single Power 24-3500 lithium battery , it guarantees up to:

  • 1 hour of battery life at full power
  • all-day use at low speeds

For greater autonomy or more energy on board, up to 8 Power 24-3500 batteries can be connected.

Hydrogeneration and available configurations

The Cruise 3.0 FP supports hydrogen generation mode , allowing you to recharge your batteries while sailing .

  • Hydrogeneration with standard fixed propeller
  • Compatible with optional folding propeller (code 1985-00)
  • Minimal impact on sailing speed

You can choose between:

  • Standard top-mount throttle control (code 1918-00)
  • Throttle control with sail side mounting (code 1949-00)

Cruise 3.0 FP – Main advantages

  • Highly efficient electric saildrive with 3,000W of input power , equivalent to a 6 HP petrol engine
  • Recommended pairing with Power 24-3500 for optimal performance and accurate battery life and runtime calculations
  • More compact and lighter than traditional internal combustion saildrives
  • Integrated hydrogeneration to increase energy autonomy on board
  • Choice of gas control: 1918-00 or 1949-00 (sold separately)
  • High quality marine grade aluminum construction, resistant to salt water even in the most extreme conditions
  • Full galvanic protection thanks to the careful selection of materials and their electrochemical insulation
  • Supplied with anode set for use in fresh and salt water
  • Also compatible with third-party 24V batteries ; careful verification of compatibility with power requirements is required
