Torqeedo Technology with Sven Kirchhoff

[@dustymark6608]

Jeff, I just launched my new 1103 for the first time, on a Chesapeake Light Craft Wood Duck Double kayak I built, and was super happy with the results. 8.7 mph no-wind top speed (surfed a Lake Superior swell at 9.4 mph) and a 31 mile range at 5 mph! It's not stand-up fishing capable like the roto-molded kayaks, but it's plenty stable for seated fishing (even with the seat raised 4") and it looks to be producing the top performance results of anything in your videos...nice. I'm quite impressed with Torqeedo technology!!!

Thats a great speed!

They break the circuit up into three separate modules so you need to buy their battery which has part of the circuit you need to run it inside. This way you cannot use a generic battery and they charge you $1,000 for their battery. The cells are epoxied into the housing so you can't change them either. They also put the electronic speed control circuit in the lower unit that goes underwater. It leaks and that gets ruined. Repair is about what a new motor costs. They claim 3 horsepower but it only consumes the equivalent of 1.25 horsepower. it cannot produce any more than that, its a 1.25 horsepower motor.

A very informative and detailed video showcasing superior German engineering.

[@TheLittleStuff]

Thanks Alan. There was some American collaboration in some of that product development too!

[@alanmunger9244]

@@TheLittleStuff gotta like that. Best product available today for sure. Ton of work went into it I'm sure.

Wish an alloy prop was available for the 1103 Travel. The plastic prop isn’t very tough, and a spare is $100

The weedless one is tough. 1972-00

I'm looking to power a 15' pontoon and like the new cruise 12.0 that was just announced. My boat has a max hp rating of 30 so I think this motor would be fine. What would the battery configuration require?

[@TheLittleStuff]

There are options. Two Torqeedo Power 48-5000's are the best option for speed, range, longevity and remaining range display. Email me at [e-mail], and I will find a local Torqeedo dealer to help guide you through the battery and charger options.

Very nice video

[@skoli55]

What results would I get from installing two 403's on a kayak. ( comparing to a single one) ?

[@TheLittleStuff]

I know something about that from Jim Sammons putting two 403's on the pontoons of a Blue Sky Boatworks, as well as seeing jon boaters use two Cruise 4.0's instead of a single Cruise 10.0. You don't get better speed. Stick with one more powerful motor if speed and range is your goal.

@@TheLittleStuff Good to know. Thanks a bunch.

Can you put 1103 ac on hobie outback

[@TheLittleStuff]

Yes.

[@kennetholavarria8044]

Will it be to heavy

[@TheLittleStuff]

Are you asking if the Ultralight 1103 will be too heavy on a Hobie Outback? No, it works well - no issues. I got my 2019 Outback up to around 6.4/6.5 mph with it.

[@kennetholavarria8044]

@@TheLittleStuff thank so much for that my friends have the 403 but I want 1103 you answered my question I’m 57 yrs old and thought it might be to heavy I love your videos and think your awesome please keep up the videos also can you do some more inshore fishing in ny waters there is a lot of clients in ny I know who love the torqeedo but are afraid to purchase because think it’s heavy most guys out here in ny have the outback

Charger is inside the battery. They only provide a 24 v power supply . My charger didn't work after 2 years. So you have to replace the whole battery. This is not a good design for the customer . Perfect for the manufacturer 💰🖕

[@TheLittleStuff]

This is not true. The chargers at external. If the battery has an issue requiring repair, there are 12 Torqeedo certified service centers to make those repairs to the battery.
