The Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 R TorqLink is a high-power electric outboard designed for motorboats, displacement boats and sailboats. It operates on a 48 V system, delivers 12,000 W of input power and is rated as a 25 HP-equivalent electric drive. Torqeedo positions the Cruise 12.0 for boats up to 12 tons, with remote steering and TorqLink communication between compatible system components.
The Cruise 12.0 R is built around a marine-grade aluminum drive system and uses Torqeedo’s Power 48-5000 lithium batteries. The motor includes an onboard computer and display for speed, input power, battery state of charge and remaining range. The TorqLink system provides direct communication between compatible batteries, throttles and other components.
The Cruise 12.0 R delivers 12,000 watts of input power and is specified as a 25 HP-equivalent electric outboard. Torqeedo’s published technical information identifies the system as a 48 V drive designed for high-thrust propulsion on larger motorboats, displacement boats and sailboats.
Torqeedo’s published specifications list 6,720 W of propulsive power and maximum overall efficiency of 56% for the Cruise 12.0 platform. Static thrust is listed at up to 405 lb under Torqeedo’s stated measurement method.
The Cruise 12.0 R does not have an integrated battery. It is designed to use Power 48-5000 lithium batteries. Torqeedo recommends two Power 48-5000 batteries for the Cruise 12.0 system.
Torqeedo states that operating with only one Power 48-5000 reduces the engine power to 6 kW. Systems using more than two Power 48-5000 batteries require consultation with a Torqeedo dealer.
TorqLink is the communication system used by the Cruise 12.0 R. It allows compatible TorqLink components to exchange operating information directly without requiring a separate gateway between those compatible components.
The system can connect the motor with compatible TorqLink throttles and Power 48-5000 batteries. Torqeedo describes the communication system as providing faster and more accurate data exchange between system components.
The Cruise 12.0 platform includes an onboard computer. When paired with the appropriate display-equipped TorqLink throttle, the system can show speed, input power, battery state of charge and remaining range.
Range and runtime depend on boat type, load, propeller, speed, battery configuration and ambient conditions. Torqeedo therefore presents its published performance figures as indicative rather than guaranteed results.
The Cruise 12.0 R is the remote-steered version of the Cruise 12.0 outboard. The motor is designed to connect to remote steering, making it suitable for boats where the propulsion system is controlled from a helm rather than by a tiller.
The throttle is not included with the motor according to Torqeedo’s ordering information. Torqeedo recommends the TorqLink throttle with color display for the Cruise 12.0 R.
The Cruise 12.0 R provides stepless forward and reverse drive. The published specification also identifies manual four-step trim and approximately ±45° of tilt adjustment.
Correct trim and propeller selection are important when matching the motor to a particular hull. Installation should follow Torqeedo’s specified mounting, steering and electrical procedures.
The standard Cruise 12.0 R propeller is the v22/p10k. Torqeedo also lists an alternative v32/p10k propeller for the Cruise 12.0 platform. Propeller selection affects thrust, acceleration, speed and operating efficiency, so the appropriate propeller should be selected for the boat and intended use.
Torqeedo’s Cruise brochure also identifies different propeller configurations for the Cruise range. The correct propeller depends on the motor variant and operating requirements.
Torqeedo identifies the Cruise 12.0 as a high-performance electric drive for motorboats, dinghies, sailboats and commercial applications. The platform is designed for boats up to approximately 12 tons, with the exact application depending on hull type, displacement, load and operating conditions.
Torqeedo’s published material also describes the Cruise 12.0 as suitable for displacement boats up to 12 tons and sailboats up to approximately 40 feet. These figures are application guidance rather than a universal performance guarantee.
The Cruise 12.0 uses high-grade seawater-resistant aluminum and is designed for marine environments. Torqeedo describes comprehensive galvanic corrosion protection and supplies anode options for fresh and saltwater applications.
The design incorporates a robust aluminum pylon and protective construction intended for demanding marine use. Correct anode selection and routine inspection remain important for long-term operation in saltwater.
Torqeedo publishes performance examples under defined test conditions. For example, a Cruise 12.0 system tested on a 3.8 m inflatable with two Power 48-5000 batteries reached approximately 27.0 km/h for 50 minutes, 12.0 km/h for 3 hours and 7.5 km/h for 9 hours. Torqeedo states that speed and range vary with boat type, load, propeller and ambient conditions.
Another published Cruise 12.0 R test on a My-RIB 420 lists approximately 28.0 km/h at full throttle, 12.7 km/h at half throttle and 5.9 km/h at slow speed. These figures are test results and should not be treated as guaranteed performance for another vessel.

The Cruise 12.0 R is a high-voltage electric propulsion system and should be installed according to Torqeedo’s technical instructions. Planning should include the motor, Power 48-5000 batteries, battery connection cables, main switch, TorqLink data cable, throttle and steering system.
The motor is supplied with a 4.5 m cable set with 95 mm² conductors, main switch and v22/p10k propeller, plus a 3 m TorqLink data cable. The throttle is sold separately.
Battery capacity, cable routing, protection, steering, shaft length and propeller selection should all be established before installation. For systems exceeding the standard two-battery configuration, consult an authorized Torqeedo dealer.
Torqeedo’s ordering information identifies the following equipment with the Cruise 12.0 R:
The TorqLink throttle is not included and is recommended as a separate component for operating the display functions. Power 48-5000 batteries are also separate system components.
If you are comparing the Cruise 12.0 R with other electric outboard motors, consider required boat size, battery capacity, shaft length, propeller selection, steering arrangement, range requirements and the available electrical infrastructure.
