Riptide is flat-out the toughest, more corrosion-resistant trolling motor on the water today. Our industry-first, 3-year warranty is the proof. Riptide transom-mount motors are packed with a host of saltwater fighting components and features that are designed to keep you on the water longer.

To demonstrate the difference between Riptide and the conformal-coated electronics of Great White½, we subjected each control board to 827 hours of salt spray. The results were obvious and clear. Riptide¦s electronics displayed no adverse affects, while the Great White board showed significant corrosion. With Riptide, you get better protection for year after year of trouble-free service.

Advanced Corrosion Protection · Premium grade alloys, including aluminum upper arms, are impervious to rust. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating and e-coat epoxy.

Fully Encapsulated Electronics · All control boards are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane to permanently seal the circuitry from external elements. The urethane forms an impregnable barrier against the destructive forces of saltwater.

Corrosion-Resistant Components · All fasteners and mounting hardware feature 300 series stainless steel.

Tilt Steering Control · Telescoping handle provides twice the usable tiller length of standard models. Tiller tilts 20 degrees for maximum versatility. Ideal for steering with your knees when the action heats up.

Sacrificial Anode · Protects metallic components from galvanic corrosion. Mounts to prop hub and is easily replaceable.

Cool, Quiet Power · Minn Kota¦s larger brushes, windings and commutators generate less heat, less noise and run cooleraextending motor life and conserving battery power. You get greater sustained thrust and more time on the water. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise·so quiet they¦ll never hear you coming.

3-Year Warranty · All Riptide saltwater trolling motors feature the industry¦s first three-year warranty.
