MINNKOTA Riptide SF Saltwater Bow Mount

Features: - Lift-Assist’s stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring makes stow and deploy easy. When you deploy, let go of Fortrex and Lift-Assist will gradually guide it into the water – quickly, but without impact. And stowing your motor is 50% easier – as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate. - Utilizes an integrated spring that applies force whether the motor is stowed or deployed. On the water, that translates to a motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and years of silent operation. - Tilts (up to 45°) and extends (up to 6´) to give you maximum control. - The Bowguard 360º™ breaks away on impact from any direction and automatically resets itself - protecting your motor and your boat, so you can fish without worry. Plus, its dual bearing system eliminates noise, and its easily removable. - This easy-to-use adjuster lets you change depths simply and securely, and it locks in tight to keep your motor right where you want it. - Motors with Digital Maximizer provide up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they dont waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water - This convenient meter on Riptide SF tells you how much battery life you have left - at the push of a button. - Stronger than ever, only a Minn Kota is available with 112 pounds of thrust. - Take to the water with improved control on the most powerful trolling motor so you can tackle heavy chop, wind, waves and more without so much as flinching. - Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance. - Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptides premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating & a durable, saltwa ter-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected. - Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out. - Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced & a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesnt have to. 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 guarantee it for life. If we could guarantee it for longer than a lifetime, we would. - Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they’ll never hear you coming.
