Description

Riptide Transom is a transom-mount trolling motor from Minn Kota's Riptide saltwater line. It is steered by a tiller, and versions run from 40 lb (18 kg) at 12 V to 112 lb (51 kg) at 36 V, with a 30 to 52 inch (76 to 132 cm) shaft.

The bracket clamps to the transom and locks with a lever (Lever Lock). Versions with Digital Maximizer draw only as much current from the battery as the chosen speed needs and have a battery test button on the motor head.

On the 80 and 112 lb (51 kg) versions the tiller tilts and extends; on the 45 and 55 lb (25 kg) versions it telescopes. The lower unit is protected against corrosion by grit-blasting, an aluminium coat and powder coat, and the shaft is composite.

Mounting and steering

Work out the thrust and shaft length your boat needs from its weight and the height of the mounting point above the water.
