Torqeedo Electric Motor | Cruise 6.0 TS

Carrying the same 9.9 hp-equivalent rating as its TL sibling, the Cruise 6.0 TS swaps in a shorter 25-inch shaft, still with tiller steering, electric start, and a motor weight of 47 lbs. Torqeedo sizes the 6.0 pair for dinghies and sailboats up to 6 tons, a step up from the smaller Cruise 3.0 line. Reading range as you run The tiller handle hosts an onboard computer that recalculates remaining range from live GPS data instead of showing one static number for the whole outing, so the figure on display reflects your actual speed and load as you go. Power, including third-party packs A single Power 48-5000 lithium pack, sold separately at 80 lbs, is the primary option, with lead-gel or AGM lead batteries also usable. Owners who already have a compatible 48-volt pack from elsewhere can run certain third-party batteries here too, provided they match the motor's power draw and an extra cable set is fitted. Shaft length to check At 25 inches, this is the shorter-transom option between the two Cruise 6.0 variants; the long-shaft TL runs a different length entirely, so confirm which one your boat actually needs before placing an order for either. Who it suits A short shaft paired with tiller control keeps this version simple to mount on a small dinghy or sailboat tender, while still offering the step up in power the 6.0 line has over the smaller Cruise models. Coverage? IP67 waterproof, 2-year warranty.
