Mono-Arm Design
Let's talk arm strength. Specifically, one made of extruded, anodized aluminum that provides unmatched ruggedness. That's Mono-Arm Design, only on Riptide SF. Backed with solid one-piece construction, it helps SF run with less wear, longer life and quieter operation.
Digital Maximizer
Stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge. Digital Maximizer controls the draw of power at variable speeds to keep you fishing longer
Lift-Assist
Riptide SF's patented Lift-Assist design cuts the weight of stow and deploy in half, making it as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate. Features a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring.
Removable Bowguard 360°
This rugged mount breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself, so your fishing isn't interrupted by underwater hazards. Plus, its dual bearing system eliminates noise and the entire mount is easily removable.
Tilt/Extend Tiller
The Riptide SF Tilt/Extend Tiller can both tilt (up to 45°) and extend (up to 6") to give you maximum control. It even tilts downward for easy storage and features a convenient digital battery gauge.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster
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.
Push-To-Test Batter Meter
This convenient battery meter shows you how much battery life you have left - at the push of a button.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
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.
Advantage Minn Kota
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.
Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter 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.
