Description

Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 FP

The Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 FP is a 6kW 48V pod motor from the Torqeedo Cruise range intended for boats up to 9 m in length or 4 tons of water displacement.

Pod motors for motor and sailing boats up to 12 m in length.

The Torqeedo Cruise benefits

  • Space-saving: The compact engine hangs under the boat, inside you only have the battery(s) and the charger. The combination weighs less than a (diesel) sail drive.
  • Light in weight: the Cruise 3.0 FP weighs only 12.8 kg, the 6.0 FP 14.7 kg. and the Cruise 12.0 FP weighs 33.5 kg.
  • Powerful: The Cruise series is designed as the main propulsion for sloops, tenders, sails and motor boats up to about 10 m in length. Due to the high torque and the large propeller you always have sufficient power
  • Efficient, so longer sailing: The highly efficient brushless motor in combination with the specially designed propeller ensures that you can sail longer on one battery charge. And the motor itself has very little resistance under water.
  • Smart: On the display you can see the remaining sailing time or distance, GPS speed, battery % and the power consumed. Via the Torq Trac app you also have all this and the map position on your smartphone!

Which engine for my boat?

SIMILAR TO FOR BOATS
CRUISE 3.0 FP 6 to 8 HP Up to 7 m in length or 2.5 tons of water displacement
CRUISE 6.0 FP 9.9 to 15 HP Up to 9 m in length or 4 tons of water displacement.
CRUISE 12.0 FP 25 HP Up to 12 m in length or 10 tons of water displacement.

Please realize that every boat is different. For example, a slim, light boat sails more efficiently than a wide and heavy one. But the sailing area is also important. When sailing on sheltered water and for shorter distances, a lighter engine can be used than when sailing on open water. Always consult your dealer for this.

How fast can I sail?

If you choose the right engine (see above) you can generally achieve your boat's hull speed. That is actually the maximum speed for non-planing boats. It is the speed at which the wavelength of the bow wave is as long as the waterline length of your boat. The closer to that hull speed, the more energy is consumed (or wasted) making waves. A more economical cruising speed is therefore slightly lower. Here's an indication:

LENGTH AT THE WATERLINE 4 M. 6 M. 8 M. 10 M.
RULE SPEED IN KM/H. 9 11 12,5 14
CRUISE SPEED 7 8 9 10

Please note, these are averages, because not every boat sails the same!

Superior battery technology

Safe, powerful and easy to use, the Torqeedo Power batteries are the ultimate energy source for the Cruise outboard motors.

Lithium-ion batteries are the technology of choice for electric mobility applications. These batteries store significantly more energy than other batteries, maintain a high current and do not lose their charging capacity over time. They are reliable even in cold weather and have no memory effect. Lithium-ion batteries also have a longer lifespan than lead-based batteries.

Torqeedo Power 24-3500
For the Torqeedo Cruise 3.0 there is the Power 24-3500 with a net capacity of 3.5 kWh on 24V. With a weight of 25.3 kg, this battery has a high energy density. With the 1,700W fast charger, this battery is charged in 2 hours at 220V. Multiple batteries can be combined for a longer range.

Torqeedo Power 48-5000
The Power 48-5000 battery is a 48V battery with a net capacity of 5 kWh and suitable for use with the Torqeedo Cruise 6.0, 10.0 and 12.0. Equipped as standard with an intelligent BMS (Battery Management System) that monitors the battery for overcharging, overvoltage, deep discharge, short circuit and overheating. The Power 48-5000 has been developed for maritime applications with waterproof connectors and a waterproof housing. Can be applied modularly for a longer range. The lifespan of this battery is unique with more than 3000 charging cycles. Using the TorqLink system, this battery can easily be connected to the components of the complete Cruise drivetrain.

How long can I sail with a Torqeedo Cruise?

That of course depends on your needs. Below we give some examples of boats equipped with Torqeedo Cruise FP engines and Torqeedo Power lithium batteries:

CRUISE ENGINE BOAT BATTERY(S) CAPACITY CONSUMPTION AT CRUISE SPEED RANGE TIME/DISTANCE
CRUISE 3.0 FP 6 m. 1 x Power 24-3500 3.5 kWh 1 kW at 7.5 km/h. 3.5 hours / 26 km
CRUISE 6.0 FP 8 m. 1 x Power 48-5000 5.0 kWh 1.5 kW at 8.5 km/h. 3.3 hours / 28 km
CRUISE 12.0 FP 10 m. 2 x Power 48-5000 10 kWh 3 kW at 10 km/h 3.3 hours / 33 km.

The above range can be doubled by installing a double battery pack.
