 Minn Kota Riptide Series Bow Mount Trolling Motors  Experienced anglers know that saltwater can wreak havoc on a trolling motor. That’s why we have re-engineered our Riptide® line of trolling motors, to give you more than a fighting chance against the nasty perils of salt. From a new paint and finish process, to proper use of materials, to urethane encapsulated electronics, no other saltwater trolling motor rivals the performance of Riptide. And for even greater performance? Add our popular AutoPilot for Riptide or CoPilot for Riptide options to give you the ultimate in convenience and control. A Lesson in Galvanic Corrosion – Galvanic corrosion is a result of dissimilar metals coming into electrical contact with saltwater. When this occurs, corrosion will attack one of the metal components. The closer two metals are to each other in electrical potential the less the chance of galvanic corrosion. Riptide utilizes the correct proportion of materials (Mild Steel and Aluminum) along with a patented sacrificial zinc anode to protect motor components from galvanic corrosion. Corrosion will attack the zinc anode, protecting the other metallic elements of the motor. Riptide’s sacrificial zinc anode is discretely located on the hub of the prop, allowing it to be easily replaced when needed. Further, the anode does not in any way affect the performance of the trolling motor. Advanced Corrosion Protection — Premium grade alloys, including aluminum upper arms, are impervious to rust. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating and e-coat epoxy. Fully Encapsulated Electronics — All control boards are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane to permanently seal the circuitry from external elements. The urethane forms an impregnable barrier against the destructive forces of saltwater. AutoPilot™ — Get unparalleled navigational control and the freedom to catch more fish. Point the motor head in the direction you want to go, activate the AutoPilot button and you're ready to go. Keeps your boat trolling on line, even through heavy wind or chop (on select models). 3X™ Steering —Select Riptide hand control models feature our exclusive 3X™ Steering. Move the Tilt Steering Control just 60 degrees to change the lower unit a full 180. Slight handle adjustments give you ultra-responsive control and ease of handling for sight fishing or when fighting hard-charging fish. Tilt Steering Control — Telescoping handle provides twice the usable tiller length of standard models. Tiller tilts 20 degrees for maximum versatility. Ideal for steering with your knees when the action heats up. Maximizer™ — Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge. Maximizer™ technology controls the draw of power at infinitely variable speeds to conserve battery power and extend run time. Bowguard 360°™ Breakaway Mount — A Minn Kota exclusive, available on select models! Breaks away on impact from any direction, protecting your motor, shaft and boat. Get uninterrupted fishing as the motor automatically resets itself. No more leaning over the bow of your boat on your hands and knees wrestling with resetting your motor. Stainless Steel Spring — The spring-loaded system in the Bowguard 360°™ is made of stainless steel…providing extra protection from rust and corrosion. Latch and Door — Select latch and door models feature non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricant for a lifetime of trouble-free use. Cool, Quiet Power — Minn Kota’s larger brushes, windings and commutators generate less heat, less noise and run cooler…extending motor life and conserving battery power. You get greater sustained thrust and more time on the water. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise—so quiet they’ll never hear you coming. 3-Year Warranty — Riptide motors feature Minn Kota’s exclusive three-year warranty. |
