Minn Kota Riptide ST Saltwater Bow Mount Motors

Minn-Kota Riptide ST Saltwater bow mount trolling motors feature the wireless CoPilot accessory for remote control of speed, steering and prop on/off. CoPilot replaces the traditional foot pedal and can be mounted on a lanyard, rod or your wrist.

Select Riptide ST Saltwater motors are available with AutoPilot&trade . AutoPilot locks onto any heading you choose and steers you there. Infinitely variable steering adjustments provide smoother course corrections and tighter heading accuracy against wind, waves and current.

All Riptide saltwater motors feature an indestructible composite shaft that is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. Riptide motors are designed to be impervious to saltwater corrosion, due to the use of premium-grade marine alloys and aluminum upper arms. All metal components undergo a thorough cleaning process prior to anodizing or coating with a special zinc dichromate armor plate. All components are then finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint.

Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry from saltwater corrosion. Also, all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater.

All Minn Kota motors offer extra large windings and commutators that dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. Minn Kota motors have a unique bearing system that reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.

Digital Maximizer Benefits
Extended trolling time (up to 5x longer on a single charge).
The Digital Maximizer speed control saves valuable power over a conventional speed coil motor.
The Digital Maximizer allows more fishing time on your battery charge, up to five times longer run time per battery charge, compared to the 5-speed switch.
With variable speed control, the Digital Maximizer allows for proper speeds to be set and maintained while trolling lures for proper presentation.
Virtual speed adjustments for changing conditions.
The Digital Maxmizer allows for fine-tune speed adjustments.
The Digital Maximizer allows the user to control boat speed more effectively in changing environments.

Choosing the correct shaft length is important so that the angler's electric motor does not cavitate, creating fish-spooking noise. The rule of thumb is that the center of the motor section should be submerged 9".

In general, shaft length selection is more critical with bow-mount motors versus transom-mount motors. Most boat transoms are similar in their distance to the water, and Minn Kota's standard transom shaft lengths should be adequate.

With bow-mounted motors, there is much greater variation in shaft length requirements. Measure down from the mounting surface of the transom or bow to the water level. Add 5" to waterline measurement for fishing in rough water. Add 12" to waterline measurement for steering a hand control motor while standing. Use this measurement and the tables above to find the appropriate shaft length.
