Travel 603 Electric Outboard Motor
Currently available for pre-order with shipments on Nov 19th.
Continuing the success of the direct-drive Travel 1103C, Torqeedo has announced a new addition to the Travel family. The Travel 603, a two horsepower-equivalent electric outboard is a lightweight, easy-to-use, emission-free motor suitable for dinghies and daysailers up to 1 ton. With a push-button start, integrated onboard computer with GPS-calculated range and runtime data, fully variable forward and reverse, and no risk of fuel or oil spills, the Travel 603 is easy to use and easy to maintain.
Torqeedo's Travel 603 comes with a lightweight, 500 Wh lithium-ion battery that simply clicks on top of the motor, has an optional USB port for charging a mobile phone or camera, and is easy to remove for charging. The removable battery even floats if accidentally dropped in the water. The heaviest piece of the Travel 603 weighs just 24.3 lbs and the total system weight, including the removable battery and tiller, is only 34.2 lbs. The motor is fully waterproof to IP67 and has a 2-year warranty for recreational use.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can you run remote steering with this motor?
The Travel 603 is compatible with the Remote Throttle and the 603 can be fixed in the center posiiton by using the included fixing pin. This is suitable for boats, such as sailboats, that have a large rudder with a tiller or steering system.
The 603 is not compatible with typical remote steering that is used for larger outboards. Torqeedo's Cruise series of outboards come in Remote versions that are compatible with those types of steering systems.
