Salt Water Electric Outboard Motor
Minn Kota's Riptide range of transom mount electric outboard motors is deigned for saltwater use (can still be used for fresh water use). These motors feature advanced corrosion protection using premium grade alloys that are impervious to rust unlike the fresh water motors which are not recommended for salt water use.
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 on a single battery charge maximising your time on the water.
These Riptide Outboard Motors are great for kayak fishing trips, canoes or as an auxiliary for tenders in saltwater.

Cool and Quiet
Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than Minn Kota®. Extra large windings and commutators are used to 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 quiet they’ll never hear you coming.
Composite Shaft
The standard of the industry since 1991! Pound for pound, our ultra high-yield composite material has been tested to be three times the strength of steel. Virtually indestructible, it flexes on impact and then returns to its original position. Unlike steel, will not kink, break, rust or corrode, guaranteed for life!
Digital Maximiser
Conventional speed coil technology delivers a constant flow of power to the motor, regardless of the speed setting - resulting in wasted energy.
Minn Kota's innovative Maximiser technology delivers the precise amount of power needed at any setting, along with variable speed control. Advanced microprocessing optimizes draw to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. Get up to five times longer run time on a single charge.
Standard feature with Riptide 55, 80 & 101
Advanced Corrosion Protection
Riptide® control boards (left) are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane (right) to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against the destructive effects of saltwater.
Riptide Outboard motors feature premium-grade marine alloys, including aluminium upper arms that are virtually impervious to oxidative corrosion (rust). Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armour plating. All components are then finished with a 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint.
