The Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Transom-Mount Electric Outboard steps up to the rigors of saltwater and never backs down. Where lesser motors fold their tents and head home under pressure, Riptide Transom brings it day after day. You simply cannot find a trolling motor better suited to give saltwater the ultimate stare down.

Steering Tension Control

The innovative new tension collar above the Riptide Transom mount allows you to adjust steering tension precisely to your desired level. Keep it loose for effortless steering or tighten it down to keep Riptide Transom in place – which allows for true vertical stowing.

5 Speed (RT 45/S only)

5-Speed motors put you in command with forward, reverse and multiple speed settings.

Indestructible Composite Shaft

Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won’t break, kink or corrode. That's why we’re confident enough to make it the only trolling motor shaft that’s guaranteed for life.

Two-Year Warranty

These motors are backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.
