Key Features:
Riptide SM Mount
Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant mount provides rock-solid stability, even in rough conditions. Once stowed, it stays secure with no flex or vibration.

Speed Control
Five forward and three reverse speed settings allow you to dial in the right pace for any scenario.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster
Enables quick, secure depth changes with a locking mechanism that holds the motor exactly where you set it.
Tilt/Extend Tiller

Instantly check your battery status at the press of a button.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
Reliable prop design pushes through dense vegetation without excessive battery drain.
Advanced Saltwater Protection
Riptide’s premium-grade alloys are treated through a multi-step cleaning and plating process, followed by a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat finish.
Encapsulated Electronics
Control boards are fully encased in marine-grade urethane, with all wiring connections sealed against moisture using heat-shrink tubing.
Sacrificial Anode
Helps combat galvanic corrosion, working in tandem with the composite shaft and corrosion-balanced materials to protect the motor.
Indestructible Composite Shaft
Stronger than steel, this shaft flexes on impact and won’t break, corrode, or kink. Guaranteed for life.
