Minn Kota Riptide Motors

Electric Outboard Engine For Salt Water Use

The Minn Kota Riptide electric outboard motor is designed specifically for saltwater use, but can still be used on fresh water. The Riptide range of electric outboard motors feature advanced corrosion protection using premium grade alloys that are impervious to rust unlike the fresh water motor models which are not recommended for salt water use. The Riptide is a transom mounting motor and are available with thrust levels ranging from 45 - 112lbs & can be mounted on square stern boats, tenders or using a Motor Mount on open canoes.

Minn Kota's innovative Maximiser Technology is an option with the 45, 55, 80 & 112 models providing up to five times longer battery life on a single charge, maximising your time on the water. The Riptide Electric Outboard Motors are great for fishing trips, canoes or as an auxiliary for tenders in saltwater, perfect for around the Norfolk coast and Norfolk Broads.

The Riptide has a unique barring system which produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on noise. The shaft of the motor is made from a composite which will flex on impact and return to its original shape, Minn Kota offer a Guarantee for life on the shaft of these engines. The tiller control handle has a 6" telescopic adjustment for greater comfort and control on the water. All variable speed motors only deliver the power required making them more efficient than the 5 speed motors that are set to the chosen speed.
