Riptide SM Mount
	Rough conditions or treacherous stump fields should never keep you off the 
water. The tournament-tested Maxxum Mount plows through any obstacle. When you 
stow Maxxum, you can rest assured that our mount won’t budge, flex or vibrate.
Mounting Bracket
	This product family offers 2 different mounting bracket options:
	Bowguard 360° breaks away on impact from any angle and 
automatically resets itself - protecting your motor and your boat, so you can 
fish without worry. Plus, its dual bearing system eliminates noise to keep you 
silent on the water.
	Latch & Door provides quicker & easier to 
remove for safe storage; non-binding nylon inserts and anti-seize lubricants 
enable years of trouble-free use.
Tilt/Extend Tiller  - On Select Model
	Tilts (up to 45°) and extends (up to 6") to give you maximum control.
Speed Control  - On Select Model
	This product family offers 2 different speed control options:
	Digital Maximizer: provides up to five times longer run time 
on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't 
waste any energy.  These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise 
speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while 
conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.
	5 Fwd/3 Rev: provides five forward speed settings & three 
reverse speed settings to easily choose the speed you need for simple, intuitive 
control that puts you in command.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster
	This easy-to-use adjuster lets you change depths simply and securely, and it 
locks in tight to keep your motor right where you want it.
Push-To-Test Battery Meter
	This convenient battery meter tells you how much battery life you have left - 
at the push of a button.
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.
Advantage Minn Kota
	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.  If 
we could guarantee it for longer than a lifetime, we would.
	Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or more quietly 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. So quiet, 
they’ll never hear you coming.
	2-Year Warranty: This motor is backed up with Minn Kota’s 
two-year warranty.
Saltwater Advantage 
	Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade 
alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor 
plating & a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint.  With layers of 
protection, the elements are truly protected.
	Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully 
encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All 
electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep 
saltwater out.
	Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced 
& a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for 
saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the 
rest of the motor doesn't have to.
