Bushfire up close from Torqeedo powered solar boat

Kathryn and Stephen’s solar boat trip to Lake Cootharaba had more excitement that they bargained for…

They left from Noosa Marina and headed for Lake Cootharaba for a six hour gentle boat trip. On the return journey the bushfire came right to the river bank. Flaming embers allowed the fire to jump the river so it was comforting to have no fuel on board. → Read more…

Range Extension options for Torqeedo 1003 and Ultralight

Travel 1003—the most popular Torqeedo

I’m often asked about how to get more range from a 1003, and occasionally for an Ultralight. Of course it would be great if we could connect these motors to the large Torqeedo battery—the 26-104. Alas, the voltage is different and it does not have a GPS built in so we need to look further afield and be a bit creative about how we engineer a solution to this. → Read more…

Cruise 4 Tiller version now available

C4 Tiller available now

I have just one Cruise 4 Tiller long shaft motor available now.  This one is converted from a Cruise 4 remote and was prepared for display at the boat show but circumstances changed and it was not shown after all.  This motor is brand new and is ready to go. As you may have noticed from a previous blog entry I have closed the shop front at Princess St Marina and have no suitable place to display it so I’d rather sell it now. → Read more…

New Cruise Tiller models and 26-104 batteries available soon

New Cruise Tiller version coming soon

You may have seen on the Torqeedo website that they have introduced a new tiller version of the Cruise models for 2012. This model is not yet available in Australia and you’ll have seen that we didn’t list it in the online store until now.  We expect to have this model available late September/early October and even then it could be in short supply.  If you’d like one from this coming shipment now is the time to let us know by putting down a deposit.  This will claim your place in the queue and if you do it soon, before the shipment is finalised, you can be sure of having one allocated for you. → Read more…

Solar boat final commissioning

Erik at the wheel

Its been a while since I wrote about the solar boat…  it has been with the builder since October and has recently been delivered with its survey papers, which means it will be available for hire fairly soon. The boat is currently at Monty’s boatyard for some modifications to include a spare motor and to improve the steering by adding twin rudders.  There is also some finishing work to complete the electrical installation, and a few of the usual fine tuning details associated with a commissioning a boat. → Read more…
