The Cruise 6.0 R is rated for displacement boats up to 6 tons and sailboats up to 35 feet. It uses TorqLink to communicate with the Power 48-5000 battery and TorqLink throttles, both sold separately, and connects to the TorqView app. It comes in short and long shaft lengths.

Good to know

  • The throttle and battery are separate purchases, so budget for a TorqLink throttle and a Power 48-5000 or other 48V bank.
  • The retailer lists this item as non-refundable and asks buyers to confirm fit with them first, so check shaft length against your transom before ordering.

KayakDIY take: I list this for anyone building out a bigger electric boat, but it’s well past kayak territory. For motors that actually fit a kayak, see my best kayak motors guide.
