Riptide Terrova 55 Full Details
Recommended for:
Small to medium saltwater v-hull, flats, center console and general fishing boats up to 17.5'. The 55 lbs thrust motor is recommended for boats with a fully laden weight up to 2,500lbs. However, conditions, hull design and intended use will have a significant impact on required thrust. For more help picking the right thrust level - or to learn how much your boat weighs - please refer to our thrust guide.
How It's Unique
Riptide Terrova is a step-up from the Riptide PowerDrive line of motors. Compared to Riptide PowerDrive, Riptide Terrova offers larger thrust options and a motor mount that automatically shuts off the trolling motor when it is stowed. While both Riptide PowerDrive and Riptide Terrova are compatible with AutoPilot/CoPilot/i-Pilot accessories, only the Riptide Terrova line offers the ability to use a foot pedal AND a wireless controller simultaneously. Additionally, Riptide Terrova includes a unique mount that features an easy-to-use lever with Lift-Assist for one-hand stowing of the trolling motor and offers thrust options of 55, 80 and 112 lbs. For a better understanding of foot pedal compatibility, please see our Foot Pedal Compatibility Chart. For a comparison between the Riptide Terrova and Riptide PowerDrive motors please our Comparison Guide.
We recommend the Riptide PowerDrive trolling motor for fishermen who are looking for a value-priced motor that is compatible with AutoPilot/CoPilot/i-Pilot/i-Pilot Link accessories and doesn't need to simultaneously control the motor with a foot pedal. Riptide PowerDrive is available in 55 and 70 lb thrust levels.

While the foot pedal is not included with the motor, once can be purchased and used with the remote control system.
