Riptide SF 80 Saltwater Bow-Mount Trolling Motor - 24v-80lb-52"

Riptide sf. Saltwater bow mount. Arm yourself with the ultimate weapon against saltwater. The all-new riptide sf features fewer moving parts, tighter tolerances, advanced corrosion protection and our revolutionary new mono-arm. You get no-nonsense power, stealth operation and rugged, reliable performance - everything you need to put saltwater in its place. Mono-arm design. Sometimes, the simplest solution is best. In this case, it's a revolution. Riptide sf's innovative mono-arm design features an extruded, anodized aluminum, structural beam that operates with no metal-to-metal contact and 75% less torsion. A single hinge point and rear pivot bearing with 20% more surface area deliver less wear, longer life, and quieter operation than traditional motor mounts. Counter-tension stabilizer (cts). Cts uses an integrated spring that applies force whether the motor's stowed or deployed. On the water, that translates to a motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and silent operation. Lift-assist. Riptide sf's lift-assist design cuts the weight of stow and deploy in half, making it as easy as lifting your suv tailgate. It features a stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring to get you in and out of the water with ease. Removable bowguard 360°. Lifting the motor and bowguard off of the mount is now even easier on riptide sf - just remove a single cap screw. The bowguard 360'™ also features a dual bearing system that eliminates noise and allows for improved breakaways from any angle. Quick-lock cam depth adjuster. Change depths simply and securely with the quick-lock cam adjuster. It makes depth adjustment simple and locks in tight to keep your motor right where you want it. Tilt/extend tiller. Get the best of both worlds on your hand control motor with the new tilt/extend tiller. It can both tilt (up to 45°) and extend (6") to fit the way you fish. Push-to-test battery gauge - riptide sf. Get an instant "state of charge" with this easy-to-read gauge. Digital maximizer. Digital maximizer™ controls and optimizes power to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You'll stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge. Weedless wedge 2 prop. Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance. Advanced corrosion protection. Riptide motors are impervious to saltwater's corrosive effects, thanks to premium-grade marine alloys and aluminum upper arms. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All components are then finished with a durable 5-mil tgic polyester, powder coat paint. When it's all done, you're left with unequaled corrosion protection. Full encapsulated electronics. Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. Also, all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater. Sacrificial anode. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact through saltwater. Riptide fights back with a sacrificial zinc anode, a composite shaft and properly balanced materials that are close in electrical potential. The result is a motor that's completely protected from saltwater's destructive forces. Two-year warranty. This motor is backed up with minn kota's two-year warranty. Manufacturer: minn kota.
