Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Outboard Motors

Battery Operated Electric Outboard Motors for Saltwater Use

The RipTide motors are available with a variable speed motor which uses the Digital Maximizer™ for increased run times OR with the standard 5 forward speed + reverse option which doesn't use the Digital Maximizer™.
