Patented Lift-Assist Design with Counter-Tension Stabilizer: Reduces stow and deploy effort by half with stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring system for easier handling
Quiet Operation & Uninterrupted Fishing: The one-piece aluminum Mono-Arm helps your motor run quieter while the removable Bowguard 360° bracket is designed to eliminate noise when it automatically breaks away on impact and resets itself
Marine Corrosion Protection: Motor lower unit housings are grit-blasted and coated in aluminum to prevent oxidization and rust, with a final layer of powder coat paint providing ultimate protection in saltwater environments
Weedless Wedge 2 Propeller: The swept-back flared blades power through vegetation without battery-draining chopping for reliable performance
Efficient Power Management: Digital Maximizer technology extends run time up to 5x longer on a single charge; These variable speed motors only use the power you need to conserve your battery for all day fishing trips; Features push-to-test battery meter

Minn Kota Riptide Fortrex Saltwater Trolling Motor
Durably designed for saltwater fishing, Minn Kota's bow-mounted Riptide Fortrex hand-controlled trolling motor features an extruded aluminum mono-arm design that helps it run more quietly and with less wear for longer life. The Riptide Fortrex features the removable Bowguard 360 bracket, which breaks away on impact from any angle and automatically resets itself to give you uninterrupted fishing, plus a counter-tension stabilizer that provides reduced steering torque and years of silent operation. The push-to-test battery meter on the trolling motor head gives you an instant status of the battery life you have left.
Digital Maximizer
This variable speed trolling motor includes Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer feature, which allows you to dial in your exact speed, draws only as much power as you need, and provides up to five times longer run time on a single battery charge.

Saltwater Ready
Minn Kota Riptide motors are designed with advanced corrosion protection and fully-encapsulated electronics to ensure the ultimate saltwater defense.
Lift Assist
The Riptide Ulterra is the easiest motor you’ve ever fished with. Get your motor in and out of the water automatically using the included i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote. Once your motor’s in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote. (You can also control the Riptide Ulterra from an optional foot pedal, as well as a Humminbird fish finder.)

Choosing the Right Minn Kota Motor for Your Boat
Bow Mounting
Equipped with Minn Kota's most advanced features and a wide range of control options, the Riptide Fortrex trolling motor mounts directly to the front of the boat and pulls it through the water for better maneuverability and control.
Motor Shaft Length
Choosing the proper shaft length is important—if it’s too short, the prop won’t be sufficiently submerged. Minn Kota recommends submerging the center of the motor section at least 12 inches.
Thrust Power
Boat weight is key when determining how much thrust you need. You will generally need at least 2 pounds of thrust for every 100 pounds of fully-loaded boat weight (people and gear included). If things like wind or current are major factors where you fish, you’ll want a little extra thrust.
Voltage
To achieve the right amount of thrust for your boat, you'll need to determine how much battery power your trolling motor requires.
12 Volts: Up to 55 pounds of thrust (1 battery)
24 Volts: Up to 80 pounds of thrust (2 batteries)
36 Volts: Up to 112 pounds of thrust (3 batteries)
