Torqeedo Travel XP 5 HP Electric Outboard

The Torqeedo Travel XP (1162-00) is the strongest motor in the Travel line, delivering 1,600 W of input power (1,400 W shaft output, ~5 HP-equivalent) for about 44% more thrust than the standard Travel. Quiet, clean, and emission-free, it is an excellent electric alternative to a 5 HP gas outboard for dinghies, tenders, daysailers, and small powerboats — with an onboard GPS computer, IP67 waterproofing, and tiller control.

Battery not included. The Travel XP is designed for the Torqeedo Travel Battery XP (recommended for full output); it also runs on the standard Travel Battery at reduced output. Batteries are sold separately.

Key Features

• 1,600 W input power (1,400 W shaft output, ~5 HP-equivalent) — the most powerful Travel, ~44% more thrust than the standard model.
• 44 V system with onboard GPS computer showing live battery, speed, and remaining range in time and distance.
• Tiller control 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 27.8 lbs (12.6 kg) for the S shaft.
• Waterproof to IP67; ships with an 11x8 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.
