Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 R TorqLink - 1262-00
Cruise 6.0 R Electric Outboard Motor
The new models of the Cruise 6.0 have been improved to meet the demanding challenges of everyday commercial use; making them ready to take on the harshest environmental conditions, for example with dinghies and sailboats up to 6 tons.
This makes the Cruise even more rugged in the event that it runs aground and even better protected against corrosion when used extensively in saltwater.
The Cruise 6.0 is comparable to a 9.9 HP petrol outboard and can be easily mounted on your boat with a couple of tools, regardless of whether the remote or tiller version. A power supply from at least one lithium battery (Power 48-5000) or with lead batteries (lead-gel or AGM) must be provided for operation.
Please call our customer service team to verify this is the right motor for your vessel. This item is non-refundable.
