Free shipping over $49
60-day hassle-free returns
Tiller-controlled 9.9 HP equivalent power for sailboats up to 35 feet and motorboats up to 6 tons. Direct, hands-on control with the integrated tiller computer right where you need it.
Overview
The Cruise 6.0 T is the tiller version of Torqeedo's smallest planing-capable electric outboard — and the right choice when you want serious power without the complexity of remote steering. Whether you're repowering a heavier sailboat, running a working tender, or stepping into a small electric powerboat, the 6.0 T puts 6,000 watts of input power and 230 lbs of static thrust under direct tiller control, with everything you need to monitor your trip built right into the handle.
The integrated on-board computer displays speed, power draw, battery state, and GPS-based remaining range — so you always know how far you can go before turning back. An emergency magnetic stop key adds a layer of safety for solo runs and rough-water handling. Pair the motor with a single Power 48-5000 lithium battery to get started, and scale up to as many as 16 batteries on the same TorqLink backbone as your range needs grow.
The 2026 generation brings improved corrosion protection, a redesigned metallic shaft cage for added durability, and Torqeedo's TorqLink digital communication system — so the motor, battery, and tiller computer share live data and stay in sync.
Why You'll Love It

- 230 lbs of static thrust for working through current, crosswinds, and loaded conditions
- Integrated tiller computer with on-screen speed, power draw, and GPS-based remaining range
- Emergency magnetic stop key for safety on solo or rough-water runs
- Whisper-quiet operation at all throttle positions
- Saltwater-ready with upgraded corrosion-resistant materials and a metallic shaft cage
- TorqLink connectivity for clean integration with Torqeedo's 48 V battery and accessory ecosystem
- Manual tilting with impact protection and 4-step manual trim adjustment
- Stepless forward and reverse for precise low-speed maneuvering
- Scalable battery system — start with one Power 48-5000 and grow to a 16-battery bank as your needs evolve
- Two shaft lengths — 24.6" (short) for 15" transoms or 29.7" (long) for 20" transoms
Why a Tiller?
For boats without a dedicated helm — small sailboats, working tenders, beach-launched skiffs — tiller control is simpler, more direct, and easier to install. No steering cables, no console throttle wiring, no helm modifications. Mount the motor, connect the battery, and you're underway. The integrated display puts your trip data right where your hand already is, so you don't need a separate dash gauge to see what the system is doing.
