We've Got Your Back

Steering Control
Tilt/Extend Tiller: Tilts (up to 45x) and extends (up to 6") to give you maximum control.

Speed Control
Digital Maximizer: provides up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.

Push-To-Test Battery Meter
This convenient battery meter tells you how much battery life you have left - at the push of a button.

Propeller
Weedless Wedge 2: Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless WedgeT 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.

Saltwater Advantage
Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected.

Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out.

Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesn't have to.

Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: 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 guarantee it for life. If we could guarantee it for longer than a lifetime, we would.

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.

2-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.
