Torqeedo Travel 3HP Electric Outboard

The Torqeedo Travel M (1160-00) delivers quiet, clean, and efficient electric propulsion for dinghies, tenders, daysailers, and smaller boats. Compact, lightweight, and easy to handle, it’s the perfect alternative to a 3 HP gas outboard — without noise, fumes, or maintenance headaches.

Please note: Battery not included. This motor can be paired with either the Torqeedo Standard Battery or the Torqeedo Battery XP, which offers up to 32% more range.

How to Determine the Correct Shaft Length

Choosing the right shaft length ensures optimal performance:

1. Measure your transom height (from the top of the transom down to the bottom of the hull).

2. If your transom is around 15 in (38 cm) → choose the Short (S) 62.5 cm / 24.6 in shaft.

3. If your transom is around 20 in (51 cm) → choose the Long (L) 75.0 cm / 29.5 in shaft.
