Riptide SP Deploy-Assist Lever
This unique feature allows for motor deployment by depressing a single lever, enabling one-handed operation. Motor easily stows up and out of the water when needed.\
GPS Powered i-Pilot INCLUDED
This Riptide SP motor includes i-Pilot, Minn Kota's revolutionary new GPS AutoPilot trolling technology. i-Pilot uses a wireless, waterproof controller so you can control your motor from anywhere on the boat. But more importantly, i-Pilot uses GPS technology to offer a number of incredible features, such as automatic course retracing and position maintenance (despite current/wind), plus standard AutoPilot directional heading functionality.
For more information on i-Pilot and other AutoPilot accessories, please see our detailed explanation of Minn Kota AutoPilot, CoPilot and i-Pilot technologies.
Digital Maximizer
Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer technology gives the most run time possible, keeping you on the water longer. By optimizing power draw and reducing damaging heat, Digital Maximizer provides up to 5x the run time of standard motor operations.
Battery Gauge
Never wonder how much battery life remains again! With the push of a button, you can instantly see how much battery life remains. Knowing your battery's level allows you to make the best use of your motor's run time, and ultimately, catch more fish.
Weedless Wedge Prop
Don't limit your casting possibilities! Head into the weeds with Minn Kota's patented Weedless Wedge Prop. Designed to operate without catching or snagging, you can venture into the thick stuff without fear of chopping or hacking.
Fully Encapsulated Components
All electronic control boards are encapsulated with marine-grade urethane for protection. Additionally, all electrical connections are specially sealed with liquid-resistant, heat-shrink tubing for further protection against saltwater and damage.
Corrosion Protection
Riptide motors are treated with premium-grade alloys to protect them from the corrosive effects of saltwater. Every motor undergoes a thorough initial cleaning process, is then coated with special zinc armored plating, and is finally finished with a durable polyester paint. The end result is a motor that's built to withstand the harshest of saltwater environments.
Indestructible Composite Shaft - Guaranteed For Life!
Guaranteed for life, Minn Kota's composite shafts are flexible and stronger than steel. They are guaranteed not to break, corrode or kink, and are the only trolling motor shafts that carry a lifetime guarantee.
Super Quiet Operations
Catch more fish with a super quiet motor. Minn Kota's large motor windings dissipate heat and provide cool operations, extended battery performance and longer motor life. An integrated friction-reducing bearing system provides quiet operations for stealthy approaches.
Two-Year Warranty
This motor is backed by Minn Kota's two-year warranty.
