Latch & Door Design, 52" Shaft, 12 Volts, 5 Speed
Riptide SM Mount. Take to the water with the confidence to power
through anything. Tournament-tested, the rugged mount on Riptide SM resists
corrosion and performs with flawless reliability. When stowed, the SM mount
won’t budge, flex or vibrate.
Latch & Door Design. Latch & Door models feature non-binding nylon
inserts and anti-seize lubricant for a lifetime of trouble-free use. It allows
the motor to remove quickly and easily for safe storage.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster. Change depths simply and securely with
the Quick-Lock cam adjuster. It makes depth adjustment simple and locks in tight
to keep your motor right where you want it.
Tilt/Extend Tiller. Get the best of both worlds on your hand control
motor with the new Tilt/Extend Tiller. It can both tilt (up to 45°) and extend
(6") to fit the way you fish.
Push-to-Test Battery Gauge – Riptide SM. Get an instant “state of
charge” with this easy-to-read gauge.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop. Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff
without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features
swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Advanced Corrosion Protection. Riptide motors are impervious to
saltwater’s corrosive effects, thanks to premium-grade marine alloys and
aluminum upper arms. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before
being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All
components are then finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat
paint. When it’s all done, you’re left with unequaled corrosion protection.
Full Encapsulated Electronics. Marine-grade urethane fully
encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. Also,
all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to
form an impregnable barrier against saltwater.
Sacrificial Anode. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar
metals come into electrical contact through saltwater. Riptide fights back with
a patented sacrificial zinc anode, a composite shaft and properly balanced
materials that are close in electrical potential. The result is a motor that’s
completely protected from saltwater’s destructive forces.
Indestructible Composite Shaft – Guaranteed For Life! Pound for pound,
our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won’t break,
kink or corrode. That’s why we’re confident enough to make it the only trolling
motor shaft that’s guaranteed for life.
Cool, Quiet Power. Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn
Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in
cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique
bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they’ll
never hear you coming.
Two-Year Warranty. This motor is backed up with Minn Kota’s two-year
warranty.
