The Cruise 4.0 R operates on a 48-volt lead-gel or AGM battery bank or two lithium-manganese batteries. The motor offers 215 pounds of thrust, delivering the thrust equivalent to a 9.9-horsepower internal combustion outboard, according to the manufacturer. The propulsive power, measured as speed multiplied by thrust after all losses (including propeller losses), is comparable to an 8-horsepower gas outboard in displacement mode, according to the company. Each outboard comes standard with a cable set, fuse, main-switch, remote throttle control with integrated board computer and magnetic on/off switch as well as a link-arm to connect to standard steering systems.
