Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 RL 25HP Equivalent – Electric TorqLink 20″ Shaft Remote Mechanical

Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 RL Electric Outboard (25HP Equiv.)

The Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 RL is a high-output 12 kW electric outboard engineered for performance on console-steered vessels requiring 25HP gasoline equivalent thrust. Built on robust 48V architecture and weighing 132 lbs, this unit offers the highest propulsive authority in the Cruise lineup for the North American maritime sector. This 20-inch long shaft model is designed for remote mechanical steering, making it the premier choice for center consoles and commercial utility boats requiring advanced marine propulsion units with immediate electric torque and total digital integration.

Operational performance is governed by a 12 kW input system, delivering a 6.7 kW of propulsive power for rapid hull planing and efficient transit. The TorqLink digital backbone helps support communication with Torqeedo’s high-capacity lithium batteries and digital throttles, providing the tactical control needed for professional navigation. This engine exemplifies German engineering excellence, ensuring the corrosion-resistant motor housing maintains mechanical integrity while providing a silent, vibration-free experience for serious captains across the United States coastal waterways.

High-Authority Electric Tech

The Cruise 12.0 technology leverages a 48V brushless motor designed for sustained high-load performance. This sophisticated architecture helps support strong acceleration across the power band, providing the mechanical strength required for pushing heavy utility hulls while maintaining reliable marine motor systems standards for professional and commercial maritime operators.

TorqLink Digital Integration

The TorqLink system monitors every aspect of the drivetrain to optimize energy efficiency and battery longevity. This digital logic provides the captain with precise data on remaining range and speed, ensuring a safe and predictable power source for professional long-range trips in performance-driven coastal saltwater maritime environments.

Torqeedo 2-Year Warranty

The Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 is backed by a 2-Year Warranty for private use. This protection covers the high-output motor and TorqLink electronics, ensuring access to certified technicians and reflecting a deep commitment to long-term maritime reliability and sustainable propulsion engineering across North America.

Maintenance & Longevity

As a maintenance-free electric system, the Cruise 12.0 eliminates the need for seasonal oil changes or fuel stabilization. Freshwater flushing after every excursion prevents salt buildup on the motor pylon.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
