RT45/S Riptide Saltwater Trolling Motor, 45lb. 12V, 36"
Riptide motors are built saltwater tough, with premium-grade marine alloys, including aluminum upper arms that are impervious to rust. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a zinc dichromate armor plating. All components are then finished with a durable powdercoat paint for excellent protection against corrosion. Variable speed models feature Maximizer technology that provides up to five times longer run time on a single charge. Latch and Door model (10353621) features non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricant for a lifetime of trouble-free use. Motor removes quickly and easily for safe storage. Bowguard 360 model (10353654) breaks away on impact from any angle, protecting your motor, shaft and boat. Easily detaches for added convenience.
