Recently Scandinavian Cruisers USA teamed up with Torqeedo. We are now able to supply the Torqeedo Electric Outboard Engines with any of our boats. We are very excited about this partnership. The Torqeedo Engines are quite amazing. They are easy to use, require little maintenance and run on electricity. No noise and no messing around with any gas or oil near the water. We think that these engines fit the Scandinavian Cruisers philosophy very well.

Yesterday I received the Torqeedo Travel 1003 L (long shaft) engine. It came in a big box and was well packaged. This engine comes apart in three separate pieces, which makes it very easy to (dis)mount and store on your boat or in the garage. The fact that this is an electric engine means that you don't have to worry about spilling any gas or dealing with oily parts. The 1003 L is equipped with a GPS system that tracks your speed and also let's you know how much range you have at your current speed. A very useful feature. Also keep in mind the lower your speed, the less power is required and the wider your range becomes.

We will soon be testing the Torqeedo 1003 L on the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 and will let you know how we make out.

Best,
Haye
