Minn Kota Riptide SF 112/HC/BG Saltwater Trolling Motor - 36V-112lbs-62"

Equip your boat with unrelenting power designed to conquer the toughest saltwater conditions. This Minn Kota Riptide SF bow-mount trolling motor delivers 112 pounds of thrust at 36 volts, paired with a robust 62-inch shaft for deep-water versatility. Hand control via the tilt/extend tiller gives you precise maneuvering, whether you're stalking trophy fish in coastal bays or battling currents offshore.

Engineered for Saltwater Dominance

The hallmark Mono-Arm Design stands out with its extruded, anodized aluminum construction. This single-piece arm shrugs off impacts, marine growth, and corrosion better than multi-part setups, ensuring smoother operation and reduced maintenance over seasons of heavy use. Anglers praise its ability to handle rough seas without flexing or vibrating, keeping your focus on the fish.

Maximize Every Charge with Digital Maximizer

Intelligent power management is at the core of this motor's efficiency. The Digital Maximizer optimizes current draw across all speeds, potentially extending runtime up to five times compared to standard motors. This means longer days on the water without draining batteries prematurely—ideal for extended trips where recharging isn't an option.

Effortless Handling and Deployment

Stowing and launching become effortless thanks to the patented Lift-Assist mechanism. A nitrogen gas-charged stainless steel spring halves the effort, mimicking the ease of popping a tailgate. Combine this with the Removable Bowguard 360°, which pivots away from obstacles and self-resets, and you've got uninterrupted fishing even in snag-prone areas like oyster beds or rocky shallows.

Tiller Control Tailored for Comfort

• Tilts up to 45° for standing or seated operation.
• Extends 6 inches for optimal reach without strain.
• Digital battery meter activates with a simple push, monitoring charge in real-time.

Precision Depth and Weed-Free Performance

The Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster secures your motor at the perfect running depth with a firm, tool-free lock—crucial for maintaining lure presentation in varying tides. Paired with the Weedless Wedge 2 propeller, it powers through dense vegetation like eelgrass or hydrilla. Swept-back blades shed debris instead of chopping it, preserving power and prop integrity.

Built to Outlast the Elements

Minn Kota's saltwater pedigree shines through in every detail. The indestructible composite shaft flexes under stress but never kinks or corrodes, backed by a lifetime guarantee. A sacrificial anode protects metal components from galvanic corrosion in brackish or full saltwater. Cool, quiet operation from oversized windings and advanced bearings means less noise to spook wary reds or flounder, plus extended motor life from superior heat dissipation.

Real-World Reliability for Serious Anglers

From inshore flats to nearshore wrecks, this motor excels where others falter. Its 52-amp max draw balances brute force with efficiency, letting you run multiple electronics without overload. Users in harsh environments like the Gulf or Chesapeake Bay report years of service with minimal upkeep, proving it's not just tough—it's tournament-ready.
