MINN KOTA
Riptide Bow-Mount Trolling Motors

The saltwater-engineered design of these new Riptide motors and proven Minn Kota® technology puts more power and greater control at your fingertips. Extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power and longer motor life. A unique bearing system produces low rpms/high torque to cut down on fish-spooking noise – so theyÂ’ll never hear you coming. Patented AutoPilot utilizes a state-of-the-art compass system that locks on to a particular heading, and automatically and continuously makes adjustments to keep your boat moving in that direction. Minn KotaÂ’s popular CoPilot remote accessory now comes standard, too! Control speed, steering and On/Off controls, even activate the new high speed bypass control for instant full power all from the palm of your hand. You can also now activate the AutoPilot models from anywhere on the boat. SP models feature a new deploy-assist lever that quickly and easily puts you in pursuit of the fish. Simply engage the lever to deploy the motor and youÂ’re ready to go. Top of the line ST models feature the Stow & Deploy system that allow fallaway ramps to 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.
