Built to handle the rigors of saltwater and never back down, the Minn Kota Riptide 45/S Transom Mount Trolling Motor gives saltwater the ultimate stare-down. The Riptide offers unequaled saltwater performance and corrosion protection thanks to Minn Kota's premium-grade marine alloys, aluminum upper arms, and special zinc dichromate armor plating finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint. The Power Prop motor is designed to push through heavy vegetation and the electronics are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater. Finally, the indestructible composite shaft, guaranteed for life not to break, kink or corrode and Riptide's patented sacrificial zinc anode results in a motor that is completely protected from salt water's destructive forces.
In addition to providing the greatest possible durability and reliability in the water, the Riptide Motor offers the ergonomic ease-of-use and high performance features required of a successful trolling motor. The Riptide is equipped with a remarkably simple, one-hand stow mechanism that gets the motor in and out of the water in no time--just pull up and forward to stow. When it's time to fish, the Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster makes depth adjustment simple and easy and locks in tight to keep your motor exactly where you want it. An innovative collar above the Riptide mount allows you to adjust steering tension to your desired level--keep it loose for effortless steering or tighten it down to keep Riptide Transom in place--allowing for true vertical stowing. The Riptide's ergonomically contoured Tilt/Extend Tiller handle can both tilt up to 45 degrees and extend up to 6 inches to fit any style of fishing. The tiller tilts downward for easy storage. A convenient digital Push-to-Test Battery Gauge is located right on the motor head delivering an instant 'state of charge'. Finally, this 5-speed motor (5 forward speeds, 3 reverse speeds) runs with cool, quiet power--so quiet, the fish will never hear you coming, thanks to extra large windings and commutators to dissipate heat, and a unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.
With a maximum thrust of 45, the 12-volt Riptide 45/S Trolling Motor features a 36-inch shaft length. The motor is backed by a 2-year warranty and the composite shaft is backed by a lifetime warranty. If you want to fish on the salt sea--you can't do better than a Minn Kota Riptide Motor.
