Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive™ 55 Trolling Motor w/Micro Remote - 12V - 55LB - 54" *Remanufactured

Discover Reliable Power and Precision on the Water

Saltwater fishing demands gear that can handle relentless waves, corrosive conditions, and long days chasing trophy catches. This Riptide PowerDrive 55 steps up with battle-tested engineering tailored for serious anglers. Imagine effortlessly holding your position over a reef while you hook into reds or snapper—without drifting or fighting currents. Remanufactured to meet original specs, it delivers like-new performance, giving you pro-level control at a fraction of the investment.

Whether you're drift fishing mangroves, stalking flats for bonefish, or battling offshore swells, this 55-pound thrust motor with a 54-inch shaft provides the torque and finesse to keep you dialed in. The micro remote puts steering, speed, and GPS smarts right in your hand, freeing you to focus on the fight.

Standout Features Built for Saltwater Warriors

Deploy-Assist Lever for Effortless Handling

Launching and stowing shouldn't be a workout. Flip the lever to drop the prop smoothly into the water, or lift it back with minimal effort. It's a game-changer on rough mornings when every second counts, especially from smaller boats where space is tight.

GPS-Powered Navigation That Thinks Like You Do

Lock onto hotspots with Spot-Lock, your electronic anchor that uses GPS to hold position within inches, even in 2-foot chop. AutoPilot keeps your heading steady against wind and tide, while the micro remote lets you tweak course or speed from the helm or rod tip. No more constant corrections—just fish.

Push-to-Test Battery Meter for Peace of Mind

One quick press shows your battery's charge level. Plan your day without surprises, knowing exactly how much juice is left for that evening bite.

Triple-Layer Corrosion Shield

Salt spray is no match here. The lower unit gets grit-blasted, aluminum-coated for oxidation resistance, and finished with powder coat. It shrugs off rust like a pro, outlasting cheaper motors in brutal inshore environments.

Digital Maximizer for All-Day Endurance

Dial in precise speeds without wasting power. This tech stretches a single charge up to five times longer than standard motors, perfect for multi-hour sessions targeting tailing trout or deep-water ling.

Power Prop for Unmatched Thrust

The MKP-37 prop slices through heavy cover and open bays alike, delivering max push when you need to punch into headwinds or reposition fast.

Lifetime-Guaranteed Composite Shaft

Flexible yet unbreakable, this shaft flexes under impacts from logs or docks but bounces back. Minn Kota backs it for life, so you fish confidently.

Cool and Silent Operation

No overheating or noise to spook fish. The brushless design runs whisper-quiet, keeping you stealthy around skittish species like permit or snook.

Real-World Performance: From Flats to Reefs

Inshore guides swear by PowerDrive models for their reliability. Picture this: You're poling a skiff across a grass flat at dawn. Spot-Lock pins you over a school of reds, and variable speeds let you hover bait without spooking them. Offshore, AutoPilot fights current to keep lines vertical over wrecks.

Remanufactured units undergo rigorous factory testing—same components, same standards, just smarter savings. Pair it with a quality 12V deep-cycle battery, and you're set for dawn-to-dusk adventures. The bolt-on bow mount installs securely on most vessels, with wireless remote control eliminating pedal clutter.

• Thrust & Voltage: 55 lbs at 12V—ideal for boats 16-20 feet.
• Steering: Electric with power steering for smooth turns.
• Prop & Shaft: Optimized for saltwater efficiency.
• Network Ready: One-Boat Network compatibility for future upgrades.

Tips to Maximize Your Motor's Potential

Store it rinsed and dry after saltwater use to extend life. Regularly check prop for debris, and use the battery meter before trips. For best GPS accuracy, ensure clear sky view. Anglers report 8-10 hour run times on a full charge in moderate use, longer with Digital Maximizer at trolling speeds.
