RIPTIDE SALTWATER TRANSOM-MOUNT MOTORS
No other trolling motor withstands the destructive forces of saltwater like Riptide, giving you years of reliable, trouble-free service. Where other trolling motors back down, Riptide stands firm — featuring the industry’s first three-year warranty. That’s why more saltwater enthusiasts now have a Riptide transom-mount backing them up.
Measure down from the mounting surface of the transom or bow to the water level*. Use this measurement and the tables below to find the appropriate shaft length.

Maximizer™
Conventional trolling motor design (speed coil technology) delivers
a constant, steady flow of power to the motor, regardless of the speed
setting. This constant flow results in wasted power and excessive heat—both
of which reduce your time on the water and the life of your motor. And
with speed coil technology, you are limited to a pre-determined number
of speed settings. Minn Kota variable speed motors utilize our exclusive Maximizer technology
to deliver the precise amount of power needed at any speed, along with
infinitely variable speed settings. You get the ability to “dial
up” the precise speed setting you desire and your motor runs cooler
with no wasted power. By properly regulating the amount of power that
is delivered to your motor, you get up to five times longer run time
on a single charge.
