Product Description
Riptide steps up to the rigors of saltwater and never backs down. Where lesser motors fold their tents and head home under pressure, Riptide brings it day after day. You simply cannot find a trolling motor better suited to give saltwater the ultimate staredown. This motor incorporates a new quick-lock cam depth adjuster to easily and securely set the depth adjustment on your motor. The new riptide hand control gives you the best of both worlds with its new Tilt/Extend Tiller handle. It can both tilt (up to 45 degrees) and extend (up to 6") to adjust to any situation and any style of fishing. The Digital Maximizer works by controlling the draw of power at variable speeds. It eliminates wasted energy, extends battery life and gives you more time on the water. This unit utilizes 12 volts to put 55lb of thrust at the end of a 36" shaft

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1304F8PL10T2W Amazon quickly shipped this brand new Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Transom Mount 55lb thrust motor and I attached it to an EverStart Maxx-29 deep cycle marine battery from Wallys. My boat is a little 10' Livingston dual hull design which weighs about 150lbs dry. I spent about 2 hours out on the water using a single Maxx-29 battery (125 amp hours) and it was only down to 85% battery capacity when I was finished! This is my first trolling motor, but compared to other people's posts online, this seems to be one of the most efficient motors that can run on a standard 12v deep cycle battery.
