Minn Kota 1363641 Riptide SF 80 Saltwater Bow-Mount Trolling Motor 24V 80 lb Thrust 62" Hand Control

The Minn Kota Riptide SF 80 is engineered to dominate saltwater environments with advanced corrosion protection and powerful performance. This bow-mount trolling motor delivers 80 pounds of thrust from a 24-volt system with a 62-inch composite shaft, making it ideal for medium to large saltwater boats up to 25 feet.

Revolutionary Mono-Arm Design:

The Riptide SF features an innovative extruded, anodized aluminum structural beam that operates with no metal-to-metal contact and 75% less torsion than traditional mounts. A single hinge point and rear pivot bearing with 20% more surface area deliver reduced wear, longer life, and quieter operation.

Lift-Assist Technology:

Equipped with a stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring that cuts the effort of stowing and deploying in half, making it as effortless as lifting an SUV tailgate. The Counter-Tension Stabilizer (CTS) applies consistent force whether the motor is stowed or deployed.

Key Features:

• Advanced Corrosion Protection: Multi-step cleaning process with anodized aluminum and zinc dichromate armor plating, finished with durable 5-mil TGIC polyester powder coat paint
• Digital Maximizer: Variable speed control provides up to 5 times longer run time on a single battery charge by delivering only the power you need
