Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 25HP TorqLink FP Pod Drive

The Cruise 12.0 FP TorqLink is a high-performance fixed-pod electric drive system designed for sailboats and displacement motorboats up to approximately 12 tons. Delivering the equivalent of a 25 HP petrol saildrive, this 48 V, 12 kW input (6.72 kW propulsive) system brings strong thrust, intelligent integration and electric-drive simplicity to serious marine installations. Equipped with the TorqLink data interface, an onboard computer with GPS, and optimized for lithium-battery integration and hydrogeneration, it is the ideal electric repower choice for larger vessels seeking clean, efficient power and future-proofing.

Key Features

• High-efficiency pod drive with 12,000 W input power, equivalent to a 25 HP gasoline saildrive.

• TorqLink data interface enables seamless communication among throttle, motor, battery and display—without needing a separate gateway.

• Built to integrate with two of the Power 48-5000 battery packs for full performance; when powered by only one battery the system is limited to ~6 kW.

• Hydrogeneration capable — allows the system to charge batteries when sailing under sail mode (with correct propeller fitted).

• Compact, low-drag fixed-pod design constructed of seawater-proof aluminum with advanced helical gearing — ideal for sailboats where minimal drag and clean lines matter.

• Built-in onboard computer with GPS provides real-time feedback: speed, input power, state of charge, remaining range — allowing precise monitoring and high system intelligence.

• Ships with cable set, main switch and standard propeller (v15/p10k) and a TorqLink data cable.

• Warranty: 2 years for private (non-commercial) use.

Installation & System Considerations

• Ensure the vessel’s displacement is within the ~12-ton range for optimal performance.

• For full output, pair two Power 48-5000 lithium battery packs; if only one is installed the drive output reduces to ~6 kW.

• Use a compatible TorqLink throttle (with color display recommended) to access full system monitoring.

• When installing, ensure proper propeller matching and rigging; optional higher-efficiency or folding-prop options (e.g., v22/p10k, v32/p10k or the 1945-00 folding propeller) can reduce drag under sail.

• The fixed-pod design ensures minimal footprint in the hull and minimal added drag when sailing; the aluminum pylon and sealed gear housing give robust durability in marine environments.
