Description
The Torqeedo POD Cruise 6.0 FP is an electric pod propulsion system designed for mid-sized boats that require more thrust than lower-powered models. It is intended for sailboats and displacement hulls where an integrated, quiet, and low-maintenance propulsion system is desired.
The under-hull installation eliminates the need for traditional shaft lines and inverters, simplifying the mechanical structure. The system uses external batteries and advanced electronic management that allows for progressive and controllable power delivery, useful for maneuvering and constant-speed cruising.
The POD Cruise 6.0 FP is ideal as the main engine on electrified boats or as an alternative to traditional propulsion on displacement hulls. Its quiet operation improves onboard comfort, especially during maneuvers and stops.
Range and performance depend on battery configuration, load, and operating conditions . Installation requires dedicated hull and electrical system design.
Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 FP TorqLink Electric Motor - 9.9 HP Equivalent Electric Saildrive
The Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 FP TorqLink is a fixed-position electric pod motor , designed specifically for sailboats requiring more power, maximum efficiency and advanced onboard systems integration.
- High efficiency fixed installation pod motor
- Equivalent to 9.9 HP

- TorqLink data interface for fast and accurate data exchange without a gateway
The advanced electric solution for sailing boats
Cruise Fixed Pod motors are the reference electric choice for sailing boats . All models integrate GPS, on-board computer and display , offering complete and immediate control of the main navigation parameters.
- Speed
- Power absorbed
- Battery charge status
- Residual autonomy
The pylon has a compact, lightweight and low-drag structure, thanks to an advanced helical gear transmission , which reduces losses and the impact on sailing performance.
Performance for boats up to 6 tons
The Cruise 6.0 FP is a 48 Volt electric saildrive, equivalent to 9.9 horsepower , ideal for:
- sailing boats up to 6 tons
- cruising boats and intensive use
The FP version comes standard with the advanced TorqLink communication system, which enables faster and more precise communication between the motor, Power 48-5000 battery and TorqLink controls.
Hydrogeneration and available configurations
The Cruise 6.0 FP supports hydrogeneration mode , allowing the batteries to be recharged while sailing , increasing the on-board energy autonomy.
- Hydrogeneration with standard fixed propeller
- Compatible with optional folding propeller (code 1988-00)
- Minimal impact on sailing speed
You can choose the gas control that best suits your installation:
- TorqLink throttle with color display (code 1976-00)
- TorqLink throttle with sail side mount (code 1949-00)
Cruise 6.0 FP - Main advantages
- Highly efficient electric saildrive with 6,000W of input power , equivalent to a 9.9 HP petrol engine
- Recommended pairing with Power 48-5000 battery for optimal performance and accurate battery life and runtime calculation
- More compact and lighter than traditional internal combustion saildrives
- Integrated hydrogeneration to increase energy autonomy on board
- Compatible with TorqLink controls (1976-00 / 1949-00 – sold separately)
- High quality marine grade aluminum construction, resistant to salt water even in the most extreme conditions
- Complete 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 48V batteries ; careful verification of compatibility with power requirements and the use of the additional cable kit code 1990-00 is required.
