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.
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.
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.
