Description
The Torqeedo POD Cruise 12.0 FP is an electric pod propulsion system designed for medium to large vessels, such as sailboats and displacement boats, that require high thrust and continuous use. It is a solution designed for professional installations or refits of traditional systems.
The engine is installed directly under the hull, reducing mechanical losses and taking up less space. The system uses external batteries and advanced electronic control for precise power management, useful both for maneuvering in port and cruising at a constant speed. The POD Cruise 12.0 FP is ideal as the main engine on electrified boats, offering quiet operation, zero vibration, and greater onboard comfort. The pod configuration improves propulsion efficiency and response.
Performance and range depend on battery capacity, load, and operating conditions . Installation requires careful planning of the hull and onboard electrical system.
