Minn Kota Riptide T/112 Saltwater Trolling Motor - 36V-112lbs-52" Product Description
Discover Unmatched Power and Durability on the Water
Picture this: you're chasing trophy fish in choppy saltwater bays, where every ounce of control matters. The Minn Kota Riptide T/112 steps up as your reliable partner, blending brute 112-pound thrust with whisper-quiet operation. Designed exclusively for saltwater warriors, this transom-mount powerhouse with a 52-inch shaft slices through waves and weeds alike, keeping you locked on your target without draining your battery prematurely.
What sets it apart? It's not just specs on paper—it's real-world grit. Anglers rave about its ability to handle rough conditions on bigger boats, from center consoles to bay vessels up to 28 feet. The tilt/extend tiller gives you fingertip precision, extending up to 6 inches for comfort during long hauls and tilting 45 degrees for tight spots or storage.
Standout Features That Redefine Saltwater Trolling
- Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound it against docks or rocks— this lifetime-guaranteed shaft laughs it off, flexing without breaking for season after season of abuse.
- Weedless Wedge 2 Propeller: Swept-back blades power through thick grass and debris without stalling, saving power for what matters: landing fish.
- Cool, Quiet Running: No overheating or noisy vibes to spook skittish reds or snook; it hums efficiently even at full throttle.
- Lever-Lock Bracket: Rock-solid 10-position mount resists flexing, warping, or sun damage, with a quick-release for hassle-free stowing.
- Sacrificial Anode Protection: Actively fights corrosion in harsh brine, extending motor life far beyond competitors.
Smart Tech for Extended Adventures
At the heart lies Digital Maximizer technology—a game-changer that optimizes power draw at any speed. Instead of wasting energy like traditional motors, it delivers precise bursts, stretching a single charge up to five times longer. Pair that with the push-to-test battery meter, and you're never guessing runtime; one button reveals your charge level instantly.
Advanced corrosion defenses go multilayered: grit-blasted housings sealed in aluminum oxide barriers, topped with rugged powder coat. Salt crystals? No match. This setup thrives where others rust out.
Real-World Performance for Serious Anglers
With 36 volts fueling 112 pounds of thrust, it's built for boats demanding serious push against wind and current. The variable speed control lets you dial in stealthy drifts for sight-fishing or max power for quick repositions. Max amp draw stays efficient at 52 amps, meaning less heat, more fish-fighting time.
Transom mounting keeps weight aft for balanced handling, ideal for flats skiffs or offshore punts. Users report effortless maneuvering in 2-3 foot seas, holding position over structure without drifting off.
"This motor transformed my inshore trips—quiet enough for tailing fish, tough enough for daily punishment." – Typical bay guide feedback.
Keep It Running Like New: Pro Maintenance Guide
Maximize longevity with these saltwater-specific tips:
- Rinse Religiously: Fresh water flush after every use erases salt buildup; focus on the lower unit and shaft.
- Inspect the Anode: Check quarterly—replace if more than half eroded to maintain protection.
- Battery Best Practices: Use deep-cycle Group 31 batteries wired in series for 36V; monitor with the built-in meter to avoid deep discharges.
- Prop Care: Clear weeds immediately; sharpen blades annually for peak efficiency.
- Storage Smart: Tilt fully down, detach batteries, and store dry—prevents seals from drying out.
Follow these, and that two-year warranty becomes just the start of reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of boats is the Minn Kota Riptide T/112 best suited for?
It's ideal for larger saltwater boats like bay boats, center consoles, or skiffs up to 28 feet, where high thrust combats wind, current, and waves effectively.
How does Digital Maximizer benefit my fishing trips?
It intelligently manages power output at variable speeds, extending battery life up to 5 times compared to non-optimized motors, so you fish longer without recharging.
Is the 52-inch shaft length right for my setup?
Yes, for deeper drafts or higher transoms; it positions the prop optimally submerged, preventing cavitation in rough water while allowing bow-up trim.
What batteries do I need for 36V operation?
Three 12V deep-cycle marine batteries wired in series. Opt for high-capacity Group 24 or 27 for all-day runtime; always match AH ratings.
How do I maintain corrosion protection in saltwater?
Rinse with fresh water after use, inspect/replace the sacrificial anode regularly, and avoid prolonged submersion when not running.
Can this motor handle heavy weed and grass?
Absolutely—the Weedless Wedge 2 prop sheds vegetation effortlessly, powering through without bogging down or excessive battery drain.
What's the warranty coverage?
It comes with a two-year warranty, plus a lifetime guarantee on the composite shaft against defects.
