In the Box:

  • Minn Kota Riptide Fortrex 80 Trolling Motor (52" Shaft)
  • Weedless Wedge 2 Prop (MKP-33)
  • Hold Down Strap
  • Stabilizer
  • Mounting Hardware

Key Benefits:

  • Saltwater-Ready Design: Premium-grade alloys and advanced corrosion protection systems resist saltwater's corrosive effects for long-term durability.
  • Powerful Performance: Delivers 80 lbs of thrust and operates on a 24v electrical system, with a 52-inch shaft to accommodate larger boats and varying water depths.
  • Mono-Arm Design: Features an extruded, anodized aluminum structural beam with no metal-to-metal contact, resulting in 75% less torsion, reduced wear, longer life, and quieter operation.
  • Digital Maximizer Technology: Optimizes power to extend battery life up to five times longer, allowing for extended fishing trips on a single charge.
  • Lift-Assist Design: A stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring significantly reduces the effort required for stowing and deploying the motor, making it as easy as lifting an SUV tailgate.
  • Counter-Tension Stabilizer (CTS): An integrated spring applies force whether the motor is stowed or deployed, eliminating play and reduce steering torque for stable, silent operation.
  • Removable Bowguard 360°: Breaks away upon impact from any angle and automatically resets, while a dual bearing system minimizes noise, protecting your motor and boat.
  • Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster: Allows for simple, secure, and precise depth adjustments that lock firmly in place.
  • Tilt/Extend Tiller: Offers customizable control by tilting up to 45° and extending up to 6 inches for optimal fishing ergonomics.
  • Push-to-Test Battery Gauge: Provides an instant readout of your battery's state of charge at the push of a button.
  • Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Designed to push weeds away and power through thick vegetation without draining battery life.
  • Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane seals control boards and electrical connections to protect circuitry from saltwater intrusion.
  • Sacrificial Anode: A built-in zinc anode fights galvanic corrosion, further protecting the motor's components in saltwater environments.
  • Indestructible Composite Shaft: Stronger than steel, this shaft is guaranteed for life, flexing on impact and resisting kinks, breaks, and corrosion.
  • Two-Year Warranty: Backed by Minn Kota's commitment to quality and durability.
