This feature is especially important for strong outboards, if you want to avoid carrying excessive amounts of batteries. With an overall efficiency of 51% they transform over half of the energy supplied by the batteries into propulsive power (measured after all losses, including propeller losses). As far as we know, this value is substantially higher compared to any other manufacturer on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe models are waterproof (IP 67), protected against submersion for at least 1 hour. They are equipped with our onboard computer and GPS, calculating the remaining range based on power consumption, speed and reading the attached external batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey offer by far the best power-to-weight ratio among all electric outboards. And they certainly offer the best price-performance ratio of the industry in this power class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrust equivalent to 9.9 HP gas outboard (Cruise 4.0 R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48Volt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17.1kg (S) \/ 17.5kg (L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in short or long shaft models *price noted is short shaft model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW TORQEEDO CRUISE 4.0 SETS NEW STANDARD FOR ELECTRIC OUTBOARD EFFICIENCY RATED AT 9.9 HP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer of the most technologically-advanced outboards on the market, Torqeedo introduced the new Cruise 4.0 R in Amsterdam, Netherlands. With an overall efficiency of more than 50%, the Cruise 4.0 R redefines the standards for electric propulsion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt converts supplied battery power better into propulsion than any other outboard. Now, users get more power and range from the same battery supply.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new, powerful Cruise model runs on 48 V. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"When talking about electric propulsion for boats, battery power is always the limiting factor. Therefore it's paramount to use the limited battery power as efficiently as possible,\" said Torqeedo managing partner Christoph Ballin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"For electric outboards, overall efficiencies range between 20% for trolling motors and up to 35% for stronger electric propulsion motors. The overall efficiencies for internal combustion outboards are significantly lower than that,\" said Ballin. \"We don't know of any other outboard that even gets close to the efficiency levels we offer.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned specifically for remote steering and throttle, the new, lightweight Cruise 4.0 R offers further unique advantages for boaters. An integrated board computer combines information from the motor, the batteries and a built-in GPS. The board computer lets boaters have battery charge, speed and remaining range at current speed always under control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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 or two high-performance lithium-manganese batteries available from Torqeedo's Power series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach outstanding electric outboard comes standard with a cable set, fuse, main-switch, remote throttle control with integrated board computer and magnetic on\/off switch as well as a link-arm to connect to standard steering systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torqeedo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51923607257373,"sku":"TORQ1211-00","price":6452.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/1072\/3613\/files\/26660-16572030.jpg?v=1783912759","url":"https:\/\/actionoutdoors.com.au\/products\/torqeedo-cruise-4-0-rs","provider":"Action Outdoors Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
