The Cruise 12.0 R produces 6720 W of propulsive power and up to 405 lb of static thrust at 48V, with TorqLink handling communication between components. It weighs about 60 kg depending on shaft length and turns a v22/p10k prop as standard. This is a large boat outboard, well outside kayak scale.

Good to know

  • Measure your transom height to choose between the S, L and XL shafts.
  • Plan your 48V battery bank and throttle along with the motor, since this listing only details the motor.

KayakDIY take: This is serious boat power that has nothing to do with kayaks, so I’d only look at it for a bigger electric conversion. For kayak-sized motors, see my best kayak motors guide.
