Riptide Transom steps up to the rigors of saltwater and never backs down. Where
lesser motors fold their tents and head home under pressure, Riptide Transom
brings it day after day. You simply cannot find a trolling motor better suited
to give saltwater the ultimate stare down. End of story.
Steering Tension Control
The innovative new tension collar above the
Riptide Transom mount allows you to adjust steering tension precisely to your
desired level. Keep it loose for effortless steering or tighten it down to keep
Riptide Transom in place – which allows for true vertical stowing.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth AdjusterChange 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 TillerGet 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.

Advanced Corrosion ProtectionRiptide 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 AnodeGalvanic 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 PowerNothing 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.
