Minn Kota Riptide

Electric Outboard Motor Suitable for Saltwater Use

The Minn Kota Riptide Electric Motor is specifically designed for use in salt or brackish water. It has a number of "saltwater" enhancements, including stainless steel hardware, sealed electrical connections and an advanced painting process for improved corrosion protection.

Riptide transom-mount motors are available with thrust levels ranging from 40 - 101lbs with 36", 42" and 52" shaft lengths. Minn Kota's innovative Maximiser Technology is standard with the 55, 80 & 101 models, providing up to five times longer performance on a single battery charge, maximising your time on the water.

NB: For open canoes, we generally recommend the 40lb thrust model.

These Riptide outboard motors are great for fishing trips in salt water.

To extend the life of your Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Electric Motor, thoroughly rinse the motor with freshwater after every time it is used in saltwater, and store indoors. Never leave the motor submerged in salt water when the boat is moored.

A 12V battery is required to power these Riptide Motors.
