The Cruise 6.0 (48 V) is the motor of choice for displacement boats up to 6 tons or sailboats up to 35 feet. The Cruise 6.0 (48 V) is the entry point into the world of planing, as it is our most budget-friendly motor capable of achieving planing speeds. Choose from short or long shaft, remote-steered (R), a tiller model (T), or fixed pod (FP).

All Cruise 6.0 (48 V) are equipped with Torqeedo’s advanced communication system, TorqLink, which allows faster and more accurate data sharing between system components like the Power 48-5000 battery and TorqLink throttles (sold separately).
