Mount and controls

• Corrosion-resistant Riptide SM mount supports the motor in the stowed position.
• Latch & Door design uses non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricant and allows quick motor removal for storage.
• Quick-Lock cam depth adjuster secures the selected motor depth.
• Tilt/Extend Tiller tilts up to 45° and extends 6 inches.
• Push-to-test battery gauge provides a state-of-charge reading.
• Weedless Wedge 2 propeller uses swept-back, flared blades designed to push weeds aside.

Saltwater protection and construction

• Marine alloys and aluminum upper arms receive multi-step cleaning followed by anodizing or zinc dichromate coating and a 5-mil TGIC polyester powder-coat finish for corrosion protection.
• Control boards are fully encapsulated in marine-grade urethane, with electrical connections sealed using liquid-tight heat-shrink tubing.
• Sacrificial zinc anode, balanced materials and a composite shaft help combat galvanic corrosion.
• Composite shaft flexes on impact and is backed by Minn Kota's lifetime shaft guarantee.
