The Minn Kota Riptide Maxxum RT55/SM/L delivers tournament-proven performance in a saltwater bow-mount package built to outlast corrosion, weeds, and rough conditions. A multi-step anodizing and zinc dichromate armor-plating process — finished with a 5-mil TGIC polyester powder coat — gives this motor its exceptional resistance to saltwater's destructive forces. Full urethane-encapsulated electronics, liquid-tight heat-shrink sealed connections, a sacrificial zinc anode, and a composite shaft guaranteed for life round out the protection. The Tilt/Extend Tiller adjusts up to 45° and extends 6" so you can dial in the perfect hand-control position, while the Latch & Door mount design uses non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricant for quick, easy motor removal. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop's swept-back, flared blades push through vegetation without draining your battery, and the Quick-Lock cam depth adjuster locks your running depth securely in place. A push-to-test battery gauge gives you an instant state-of-charge readout whenever you need it.
