Riptide SF
Saltwater Bow Mount
Arm yourself with the ultimate weapon against saltwater. The all-new Riptide? SF features fewer moving parts, tighter tolerances, advanced corrosion protection and our revolutionary new Mono-Arm. You get no-nonsense power, stealth operation and rugged, reliable performance - everything you need to put saltwater in its place.
Mono-Arm Design
Sometimes, the simplest solution is best. In this case, it's a revolution. Riptide SF's innovative Mono-Arm Design features an extruded, anodized aluminum, structural beam that operates with no metal-to-metal contact and 75% less torsion. A single hinge point and rear pivot bearing with 20% more surface area deliver less wear, longer life, and quieter operation than traditional motor mounts.
Counter-Tension Stabilizer (CTS)
CTS uses an integrated spring that applies force whether the motor's stowed or deployed. On the water, that translates to a motor with no play, no give, reduced steering torque and silent operation.
Lift-Assist
Riptide SF's Lift-Assist design cuts the weight of stow and deploy in half, making it as easy as lifting your SUV tailgate. It features a stainless steel, nitrogen-charged gas spring to get you in and out of the water with ease.
Removable Bowguard 360°
Lifting the motor and bowguard off of the mount is now even easier on Riptide SF - just remove a single cap screw. The Bowguard 360'™ also features a dual bearing system that eliminates noise and allows for improved breakaways from any angle.
Quick-Lock Cam Depth Adjuster
Change depths simply and securely with the Quick-Lock cam adjuster. It makes depth adjustment simple and locks in tight to keep your motor right where you want it.
Tilt/Extend Tiller
Get the best of both worlds on your hand control motor with the new Tilt/Extend Tiller. It can both tilt (up to 45°) and extend (6") to fit the way you fish.
Push-to-Test Battery Gauge - Riptide SF
Get an instant "state of charge" with this easy-to-read gauge.
Digital Maximizer
Digital Maximizer™ controls and optimizes power to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You'll stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge.
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.
Advanced Corrosion Protection
Riptide motors are impervious to saltwater's corrosive effects, thanks to premium-grade marine alloys and aluminum upper arms. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All components are then finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint. When it's all done, you're left with unequaled corrosion protection.
Full Encapsulated Electronics
Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. Also, all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater
Sacrificial Anode
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact through saltwater. Riptide fights back with a sacrificial zinc anode, a composite shaft and properly balanced materials that are close in electrical potential. The result is a motor that's completely protected from saltwater's destructive forces.
Two-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty

Depending on your choice of variant and speed, you can expect between 1.5 hours at wide-open throttle to over 5 hours at trolling speeds. Both options offer exceptional range.
Absolutely. The sea eagle fishskiff completely deflates and rolls up, while the electric outboard motor features a quick-release battery and foldable design, eliminating the need for a trailer.
This varies heavily by country and region. While electric outboard setups often bypass strict gas engine regulations, many locations still require a basic watercraft registration for any motorized sea eagle boat.
Absolutely. The sea eagle boat features a high-pressure 1000 Denier drop-stitch hull that inflates up to 15 psi, making the deck as rock-solid as a rigid fiberglass platform so you can cast with total confidence.
Yes, both the sea eagle fishskiff and the epropulsion motor are fully engineered for harsh marine environments. The motor features high-quality anodized aluminum and powder coating to resist corrosion, though we always recommend a quick freshwater rinse after a salt run.
You can go from a completely packed car trunk to floating on the water in roughly 12 to 15 minutes using an electric pump, completely eliminating the need for boat ramps or storage fees.
Yes! The integrated lithium battery supports on-the-go charging via compatible solar panels, allowing you to seamlessly extend your range on sunny days while running your epropulsion motor.
