Torqeedo Travel 3 HP Electric Outboard

The Torqeedo Travel (1160-00) delivers quiet, clean, efficient electric propulsion for dinghies, tenders, daysailers, and other small boats. Compact, lightweight, and easy to handle, it is the perfect alternative to a 3 HP gas outboard — without the noise, fumes, or maintenance. With 1,100 W of input power (930 W shaft output) at 44 V, an onboard GPS computer, and full IP67 waterproofing, it is built to make electric boating effortless.

Battery not included. The Travel pairs with the Torqeedo Travel Battery (recommended) or the higher-capacity Travel Battery XP, which adds up to about 32% more range. Both are sold separately.

Key Features

• Folding tiller with stepless forward/reverse and 360° steering.
• 4-position trim and 90° tilt with auto kick-up and multiple shallow-water positions.
• Lightweight — motor only about 24.9 lbs (11.3 kg) for the S shaft.
• Waterproof to IP67 and shipped with a weedless propeller.
• TorqTrac Bluetooth app — view range and trip data on your smartphone.
• Available in Short (S) and Long (L) shaft versions.

How to Measure Your Transom Height & Choose Your Shaft Length

Picking the right shaft length is the single most important fitment decision on any outboard. It comes down to your boat's transom height — if the shaft is too short the propeller ventilates (sucks air) and loses thrust; too long and it adds unnecessary drag.

1. Measure your transom height. With the boat level, measure straight down from the top of the transom (where the motor clamps) to the lowest point of the hull/keel at the centerline.
2. Match it to the shaft length. Per Torqeedo's own guidance, a transom of about 15 in (38 cm) calls for the Short (S) shaft; about 20 in (51 cm) calls for the Long (L) shaft.
3. When you're between sizes, size up. A slightly long shaft runs fine; a too-short shaft will cavitate.
