TROLLING MOTOR TECHNOLOGY

OVER 85 YEARS OF INNOVATION

What do the best anglers on the planet all have in common? Our name on the side of their trolling motor. For more than 85 years, fishermen have relied on us to build trolling motors that outlast, outmuscle and outperform anything on the water. Anywhere. Anytime.

BOAT NAVIGATION

Innovative, GPS-driven technology like i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, Spot-Lock and AutoPilot lets you navigate your boat effortlessly, so you can focus on fishing.

Riptide Terrova 

mk_c022_lift-assist-fortrex (1)

LIFT-ASSIST: CABLE STEER

Lift-Assist’s stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring makes stow and deploy easy. When you deploy, let go of the motor and Lift-Assist will gradually guide it into the water – quickly, but without impact. And stowing your motor is 50% easier – as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate.

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Extend battery life, integrate sonar and make boat control automatic. We’ve got a full line of technologies that make your motor even better than you thought it could be.

c022-built-in-mega

BUILT-IN MEGA IMAGING

Motors with Built-In MEGA Imaging deliver the cleanest, sharpest imaging and CHIRP sonar right to your Humminbird fish finder with an integrated transducer that's fully protected.

c022-us2

UNIVERSAL SONAR 2

Motors with Universal Sonar 2 keep your transducer and wiring completely concealed and protected, running everything through the motor’s shaft, with shielded connectors that virtually eliminate interference.

c022-one-boat

ONE-BOAT NETWORK

Take control of your motor directly from your Humminbird via the i-Pilot Link system.

THE MINN KOTA CORE

Your Minn Kota® comes ready to dominate on day one. The indestructible composite shaft is guaranteed for life. The lower unit runs cool to extend motor life, and stays quiet to cut fish-spooking noise.

mk_c022_indestructible-shaft

INDESTRUCTIBLE COMPOSITE SHAFT

Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won’t break, kink or corrode. That’s why we’re confident enough to guarantee it for life.

mk_c022_cool-quiet-power

COOL, QUIET POWER

Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.

c022-dig-max

DIGITAL MAXIMIZER

Motors with Digital Maximizer™ draw only as much power as you need, so they don’t waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery.

TAKE SALTWATER BY STORM

Other guys paint their freshwater motors white and call it a saltwater motor. Here’s what makes Riptide the only motor tough enough for saltwater.

mk_c022_corrosion-protection

ADVANCED CORROSION PROTECTION

Riptide lower units were built to outlast saltwater. The housing is grit-blasted, then coated in aluminum to prevent oxidization and rust. Then, a final layer of powder coat paint provides the ultimate protection.

mk_c022_encapsulated-protection

FULLY ENCAPSULATED ELECTRONICS

Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. And all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to keep saltwater out, no matter what.
