For some, yes!
180 Marine is equipping a trio of Corsair 880s with Torqeedo electric motors. The first installation was just completed, with two more launching soon.
You can’t beat…
Quiet and sublime smoothness…
Smaller and lighter than combustion engines…
NO fuel or oil to leak or stink
Powerful lithium batteries provide long-range motoring
Durable design and excellent corrosion protection for fresh and salt water.
Torqeedo offers a new, industry-leading warranty on electric outboards.
Installing Torqeedo Electric motors on Corsair 880s is a smart choice for environmentally conscious boaters. The lack of exhaust gases and carbon emissions, along with their quiet efficiency, makes them a sustainable option for marine propulsion.
The new electric motors include optimized helical gears to provide quiet, lightweight power unrivaled in this market.
This durable and extremely robust design is perfect for sailboats, motorboats and commercial applications up to 12 tons.
Available with remote throttle (R) or tiller (T) control, in 3 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW and 12 kW versions - with various shaft lengths to accommodate a wide range of applications.
It's great to hear that charging electric boats is relatively convenient with the availability of shore power at most marinas. Having the option for overnight charging or fast charging for some electric motor batteries can certainly alleviate concerns about range and ensure a more reliable experience on the water. If you have any specific questions or need more information about electric boat technology or related topics, feel free to ask!
The Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 R has many benefits:
High-efficiency outboard with 6,000 W input power, equivalent to a 9.9 HP petrol outboard.
Pair with Power 48-5000 for best performance and accurate range/runtime functionality.
The R model includes a remote steering link arm we link directly to the tiller.
Your choice of throttle: standard throttle or add a TorqLink throttle with amazing connectivity to smart phone apps.
Rugged pylon with integral fin – extra protection when running aground
Highest-grade seawater-proof aluminum for long service life, even in the harshest conditions.
Comprehensive galvanic corrosion protection through careful matching of all materials and meticulous isolation of materials with different electrochemical properties - ships with anode set for fresh and saltwater
It is also compatible with third-party batteries (24-volt), but careful matching to motor power requirements is needed - Power 48-5000 battery is highly recommended.
