62" Shaft, 24 Volt, 80 lbs Thrust
Arm yourself with the ultimate weapon against saltwater. The Riptide SF
features fewer moving parts, tighter tolerances, advanced corrosion protection
and our revolutionary new Mono-Arm. You get no-nonsense power, stealth operation
and rugged, reliable performance – everything you need to put saltwater in its
place.
Mono-Arm Design. Sometimes, the simplest solution is best. In this case,
it’s a revolution. Riptide SF’s innovative Mono-Arm Design features an extruded,
anodized aluminum, structural beam that operates with no metal-to-metal contact
and 75% less torsion. A single hinge point and rear pivot bearing with 20% more
surface area deliver less wear, longer life, and quieter operation than
traditional motor mounts.Counter-Tension Stabilizer (CTS). CTS uses an
integrated spring that applies force whether the motor’s stowed or deployed. On
the water, that translates to a motor with no play, no give, reduced steering
torque and silent operation.
Lift-Assist. Riptide SF’s patented Lift-Assist design cuts the weight
of stow and deploy in half, making it as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate. It
features a stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring to get you in and out of
the water with ease
Removable Bowguard 360°. Lifting the motor and bowguard off of the
mount is now even easier on Riptide SF – just remove a single cap screw. The
patented Bowguard 360º also features a dual bearing system that eliminates noise
and allows for improved breakaways from any angle.
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 SF. Get an instant “state of
charge” with this easy-to-read gauge.
Digital Maximizer. Digital Maximizer controls and optimizes power to
extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You’ll stay on the water up to
five times longer on a single charge.
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.
