We Put It To the Test, Because We Know You Will
Saltwater anglers like a challenge, and so do we. For more than three years we researched and field-tested the new Riptide ST until it was tough enough to withstand the most extreme conditions and intelligent enough to put you in a better position to catch fish. Our new Riptide ST is the most saltwater-resistant motor in the industry, tailor-made for the fisherman who won't settle for "good enough."
RiptideŽ ST
Our rugged new saltwater powerhouse features better performance, standard CoPilot and a new foot pedal option. The easy-to-use handle and fall-away ramps on the new stow/deploy mechanism lets you effortlessly move your motor in and out of the water. Available in 101-, 80- and 55-lb thrust levels with varying shaft lengths.
Ready, Willing and Able
Simply depress the handle and fall-away ramps effortlessly deploy the motor into the water. The balanced motor design makes stowing easy, and a special master cut-off switch automatically turns the power off when stowed.
New! Digitally Controlled AutoPilot
Riptide ST's new digitally controlled AutoPilot delivers infinitely variable steering adjustments for smother course corrections and tighter heading accuracy. Point the motor in your desired heading, turn AutoPilot on and experience the ultimate boat-control advantage.
Go Remote With Standard CoPilot
One of our most popular accessories is now a standard feature on the Riptide ST. CoPilot gives you control of speed, steering and On/Off controls, along with a new high speed bypass control for instant full power. You can also now activate you AutoPilot from anywhere on the boat- including the platform!
