The new Cruise 4.0 R is the perfect choice for boats on green lakes, pontoon boats, sailboats and catamarans. It operates on a 48 V lead-gel or AGM battery bank.
The new, lightweight Cruise 4.0 R offers further unique advantages for boaters. Each 48 V electric outboard comes standard with a cable set, fuse, main-switch, remote throttle control with integrated on-board computer and magnetic on/off switch as well as a link-arm to connect to standard steering systems.
Offering 215 lbs. of thrust, the Cruise 4.0 R has the thrust equivalent to a 9.9 hp internal combustion outboard. More importantly, the propulsive power, measured as speed times thrust after all losses including propeller losses, compares to an 8 hp gas outboard in displacement mode.
Each Torqeedo Cruise R motor includes the following parts:
Motor with pylon, propeller, shaft, transom mount (with guide tube for remote steering), connection cables for cable set and remote throttle
Link arm and small parts for connecting the remote steering
Remote throttle control with integrated display and 4 screws M4 in different lengths to mount remote throttle
Magnetic key
Cable set with main switch, fuse and bridging cable (1 for Cruise 2.0 R, 3 for Cruise 4.0 R)
M8 screw to fix the steering (if no connection is desired to the remote steering)

2011-10-06ALAN LONG asked: I'm replacing a 15 hp Honda outboard with pusher prop on a 5000 lb sailboat. What kind of performance can I expect from a Torqeedo 4.0 R as replacement?
+Expand Answers
2011-10-14Ryan L: There are currently no customers to answer your question. Please contact customer service at 800-423-0030 for assistance.
2013-01-10Don Arnold: It would depend on how hard you run the Honda. If you need only half throttle on the 15 hp Honda, maybe the 8.8 hp electric would serve. But if you run an electric at full throttle Puekerts theorem applies and range decreases much more than a simple proportion would indicate. Also, you would lose the effeciency of a larger prop, and that would work against you as well.
Comments about Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R Electric Outboard Motor:
The lakes and reservoirs in our area are all restricted to electric power. My father and I purchased a 17' bass boat and were looking for a motor powerful enough to handle it. We came across the Torqeedo and it was just what the doctor ordered. It's whisper quiet and pushes the 1000+ lb boat along at a steady 6 mph at 3/4 throttle. We've gotten multiple compliments about the motor and many people asking where they can get one. At this point, we have owned the motor for 1 year and have not had any problems with it. You can tell that the German designers put a lot of research and development into creating the best electric motor possible.
