Cruise 2.0 Operating Manual Cruise 2.0
The Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 is the most powerful 24 volt electric outboard on the market. With the thrust force of a 6 HP combustion engine, the Torqeedo Cruise is the emission-free alternative for sailing and motor boats with displacement of up to three tons.
The Cruise 2.0 is similar to the Travel series as it offers extremely high efficiency compared to other outboard motors but it's different because it makes use of lead batteries, usually two 12v connected in series or a extremely powerful Torqeedo Power lithium-based battery.
The Cruise 2.0 is operated using it's fixed tillar. If you would like to review the Cruise 2.0R with remote steering please click here.
