FEATURES

CoPilot Compatible
Fingertip control only from Minn Kota®.

Universal Sonar 2
Push a button. Find a fish.
With Minn Kota®s Universal Sonar 2, you wont miss a thing. New dual beam capability (with all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUS™ and select Lowrance® and Garmin® units) provides expanded coverage, greater bottom detail and temperature sensing compatibility with all major sonar brands. Integrated transducer is built into the lower unit while all wiring is housed entirely in the indestructible composite shaft, completely protected from the elements. Universal Sonar 2 gives you more choices, a clean look, better protection and optimal, interference-free sonar performance.

Digital Maximizer™
Digital Maximizer™. Up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
Conventional speed coil technology wastes energy by delivering a constant, steady flow of power to the motor regardless of the speed setting resulting in wasted energy.

Pioneered in 1985, Minn Kotas innovative Maximizer™ technology delivers the precise amount of power needed at any setting, along with variable speed control. Now, our advanced, digital microprocessing optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge.

Indestructible Composite Shaft
The standard of the industry since 1991! Pound for pound, our ultra high-yield composite material has been tested to be three times the strength of steel. Virtually indestructible, it flexes on impact and then returns to its original position. Unlike steel, will not kink, break, rust or corrode guaranteed for life!

Cool, Quiet Power
Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than Minn Kota®. Extra large windings and commutators are used to dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power and longer motor life. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise so quiet theyll never hear you coming.

Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
The latest generation of this legendary Roland Martin design features swept-back and flared blades to "wedge" weeds away. Pass through the thick stuff at any speed without battery-draining "chopping and hacking." A Minn Kota® exclusive! Available on select models.

Warranty

Riptide Saltwater Bow - Mount Trolling Motor

The Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Bow - Mount Trolling Motor is like no other. The highest quality saltwater trolling motor available.

Riptide trolling motor:

Riptide® is simply the toughest, most corrosion-resistant trolling motor ever built.

Motor Highlights
Tilt Twist Tiller
  • Puts natural outboard convenience in the palm of your hand. Quick access. Instant response. Multi-position handle.

Bowguard 360ยบ
  • Exclusive, patented feature breaks away on impact from any angle, protecting your motor, shaft and boat. Provides uninterrupted fishing as the motor will automatically reset itself. No more leaning over the bow of your boat on your hands and knees wrestling with resetting your motor. Easily detaches for added convenience. Available on select models.

Latch & Door
  • Latch and Door models feature non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricant for a lifetime of trouble-free use. Motor removes quickly and easily for safe storage. Available on select models.


Salt belongs on a batch of fresh-popped corn or sitting on the rim of a chilled margarita. It has no business ruining your next fishing trip. Thats why we build Riptide so incredibly tough. This is simply the toughest, most saltwater-resistant trolling motor you can find. So, feel free to push your Riptide to the max and celebrate your success at the end of the day. Now, wheres that blender?

Features:
Advanced Corrosion Protection
  • Riptide® features premium-grade marine alloys, including aluminum upper arms that are virtually impervious to oxidative corrosion (rust). Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All component are then finished with a 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint.

Fully Encapsulated Electronics
  • Riptide® control boards (1) are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane (2) to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against the destructive effects of saltwater.

Sacrificial Anode
  • A patented sacrificial anode protects the motor from galvanic corrosion. Saltwater attacks the zinc anode (discretely located on the prop hub), which can be easily replaced when necessary. The result is better protection and longer motor life.

Cool, Quiet Power
  • Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than Minn Kota®. Extra large windings and commutators are used to dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power and longer motor life. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise so quiet theyll never hear you coming.

Indestructible Composite Shaft
  • The standard of the industry since 1991! Pound for pound, our ultra high-yield composite material has been tested to be three times the strength of steel. Virtually indestructible, it flexes on impact and then returns to its original position. Unlike steel, will not kink, break, rust or corrode guaranteed for life!
