How It's Unique:	Riptide SF is a step up from the Minn Kota Riptide SM and is the beefiest, most heavy-duty trolling motor in the Minn Kota line up.

Freshwater fishermen should look to the Minn Kota Fortrex, as it is the freshwater version of the Fortrex and has many of the same features.

Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware. However, if accessing the underside is impossible you can use no access bolts to secure the motor from the top. For more information see our compatibility and mounting guides.

Additional Information

Amperage Draw:	46 amps at maximum speed
Motor Run Time:	Important Note: As you likely won't be running your trolling motor perpetually, the actual amount of on-the-water time a motor should allow will be substantially longer than times listed. Actual motor run time can vary depending on conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated battery. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time. 20+ Hours: At slow, trolling speeds that draw 5 amps or less 4.4 Hours: Approx. run time with throttle 50% open 2.2 Hours: Approx. run time with the motor at full throttle
Stow and Deploy Method:	Riptide SF motors feature a nitrogen charged gas spring that makes it incredibly easy to stow and deploy your trolling motor. This design is very similar to the lift-assist system on many vehicle tailgates and makes stowing the motor effortless.
Motor Steering Method:	The Riptide SF is steered by hand. The unique Tilt Twist Tiller handle tilts up to make steering easier and more convenient. Motor speed is controlled by rotating the hand lever.
Shaft Adjustment:	An adjustable depth collar makes it easy to set how deep the shaft and propeller sit in the water.
