Comments about Torqeedo Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 Electric Outboard Motor:

Purchased for my Nordic Folkboat, first day out broke down, shipped back to factory a month ago, came back last week inoperable.
The PCB board you can see where the TELEPHONE JACK connector goes has protective varnish, what you don't see is the inner connector that is unprotected, after such a bad experience told them reund or replace but no answer yet, neither to prior email and two voice messages. Rcommend avoiding

Comments about Torqeedo Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 Electric Outboard Motor:

Electric outbaords are not for speeding, not for water skiing bit mostl y for fishing.
This Torqeedo 2.0 is excellent for my work as a sailing instructor teaching children using Optimists.
No noise so easy ommunication during sailing and at manouvering.

Comments about Torqeedo Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 Electric Outboard Motor:

We have used a Cruise 2.0 as auxiliary power on a sailboat of 4500 lbs displacement for about 4 years. A little underpowered but adequate except that it occasionally stops running temporarily or fails to start running for a few minutes. Obviously this could be dangerous if it happened at the wrong time. Torqeedo thought it might be the master switch and when they sent a replacement it seemed to solve the problem. But now the motor fails on start and only begins to work after a few minutes. Too bad because we love it when it works properly. At half power (about 3 knots in calm waters) it will run for hours on a single charge of two 200-amp-hour 12-volt batteries.

Comments about Torqeedo Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 Electric Outboard Motor:

Really impressed for the maiden voyage. I live right in the middle of a lake 10km long by 4km at the widest. From the air looks like a woman with a belt of islands around her waist. One side is deep the other averaging 6 feet with lots of weeds. Weeds draw amps, cleaning is easy, good design. Pushed steady against 30km winds, tops speed 8.4 km with the wind. 225amp 26 volt on the lake 3 hours 1.20 full draw 1.80 averaging 5.2 km. Gets me to the fish gets me back and I plug the darn thing for virtually pennies. I would consider trying to get on the ground floor for Canada with these things. Hot green application, not fast, not loud and simple. Gas in the past, Do that for your world. Could bone up the underbelly to a higher marine quality.
