Faster, Smaller And More Efficient - Is Yours A Torqueedo electric outboard engine?
WTF! If you haven't heard of the electric outboard engine from Torqeedo, then read on, as this is change - happening now!
Miami International Boat Show
A couple of years ago after dedicated European research, a viable alternative to gas / diesel powered outboards was unveiled at The Miami International Boat Show.
With a six horsepower engine you can reassured this is not a gimmick. Why would West Marine sell a gimmick, of course not! This model can power a sail or motor boat with a displacement
of up to three tonnes. Up to the minute torque technology coupled with optimized drive ensures you are achieving optimum boat speed. It is highly efficient and at twenty four volts, themost powerful battery operate motor around.

Folds away too!
Let's see what else is going for Torqeedo:
- No gas / diesel means no pollution, even the transmission lub is environmentally neutral!
- No green house gases, excludes carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide damage
- Almost silent - if you prefer the sound of waves lapping en route
- Folds away - in to a back pack, carry bag
- Integrated battery charge display - so you know when your running out of juice!
- Variable forward / reverse drive - helps maneuver in tight areas
- Height adjustable variable tiller - means all the family can steer!
