How fast is a Torqeedo motor?
How fast is a Torqeedo motor?
The motor is equivalent to a 3 hp combustion engine and can power boats up to 1,500 kg (3,300 lbs). It’s not a speedy motor, but Torqeedo claims it can provide 20 hours of power when trolling at 2 knots (3.7 km/h or 2.3 mph), which is equivalent to a range of 74 km (46 mi).
How long does Torqeedo last?
As with electric cars, range can be a bit of a problem with the Torqeedo. At full throttle (which achieves 5 knots on a BR20), the Torqeedo battery will be fully depleted in less than 30 minutes, whereas at 3 knots, it can keep going for over two hours.

How long does a electric outboard last?
A lithium-ion battery for an electric outboard will last around 10 to 15 years until they need to be replaced. Other batteries that aren’t lithium-ion generally won’t last as long. For example, AGM batteries will last around 4 to 6 years for an electric outboard.
Do inboards or outboards last longer?
Inboard motors generally last longer than their outboard counterparts. You can squeeze roughly 1,500 hours out of an inboard before necessary maintenance. Outboards, on the other hand, last about 750 hours on average. So, the inboard option means less maintenance (nearly half) even though they cost more initially.
Are outboards cheaper to maintain?
Generally, outboard motors are easier and cheaper to maintain.
What size battery do I need for a 55 lb thrust trolling motor?
Using a Newport Vessels 55lb thrust motor continuously for two hours at full speed would require a battery with a 100-120 AH rating.
