2009 marks the 75th anniversary of Minn Kota® Motors. That’s 75 years of innovation. Of power. 75 years on the water, with the best-built trolling motors in the world. And we’re just getting started. Since its founding, Minn Kota has led the way in product innovation and cutting-edge technology.

RIPTIDE SALTWATER TRANSOM MOUNT SERIES
The superior durability and long lasting performance of the all new and improved Riptide is also available for the back of the boat. Our transom mount models from 40 to 55 lbs ( 18 to 25kgs) feature our enhanced corrosion protection, 'sacrificial anode' system and all the rugged reliability you expect from Minn Kota. All in an exciting new look. Why settle for anything less? Get a Riptide and get the very best.

SACRIFICAL ANODE - (607031)
Corrosion attacks this replacable zinc component rather than the metallic surfaces of your trolling motor. Attaches quickly and easily to prop hub.
607031 - suits RT40/S, RT50/SC/S & RT55/S
COOL, QUIET POWER™
Features larger brushes and commutators to provide for cooler, more quite operation. Low rpm/high torque cuts down on fish spooking noise...so quiet they'll never hear you coming.
MAXIMIZER™ (RT55 Models only)
Delivers five times more power on a single battery charge.
URETHANE ENCAPSULATED ELECTRONICS
Permanently protects Riptide's electrical components from the harsh saltwater elements.
TILT TWIST TILLER
Puts natural outboard convenience in the palm of your hand.

Minn Kota Battery Chargers On-Board:

Suitable for permanent on-board mounting to eliminate the hassle of traditional portable chargers. Available in three models to suit single or dual battery bank installations and provide fully automatic, multistyle charging to properly maintain the batteries. By controlling the current and voltage during the charging cycle, Minn Kota chargers recharge faster than conventional automotive battery chargers while preventing over charging which can damage and shorten battery life. They include an automatic temperature compensation feature that adjusts the output voltage to assure the battery reaches its gassing threshold and achieves a full charge. The temperature compensation feature also protects the batteries from “boiling” due to over charging at high temperatures.

• Fully Automatic Charging
MK210A & MK22 0A – 3 stage (bulk, absorption, maintenance) 

• Automatic Temperature Compensation
Delivers fast charging recovery, even in extreme temperatures, while protecting from over charging.

• LED Display
Indicates power on, charging, full charge and check connection.

• Waterproof, Shock and Vibration Resistant
Heavy duty construction, waterproof to IPX7

• Short Circuit, Reverse Polarity & Ignition Protected
A safety feature which prevents the charger from operating if incorrectly connected to the battery

• Saltwater Tested

• For use with 12vdc/6 Cell Batteries

Battery Charger Minn Kota Portable:

The new MK110PA 240 volt portable marine battery charger is designed to deliver a precise, proper charge to marine batteries without over or under charging as is often the case with standard automotive battery chargers. It utilises a multi-stage charging system; a feature not found on most portable chargers, to charge up to 50% faster than a single stage (bulk) 10amp portable charger, while properly protecting the batteries. Over charging can damage the useful life of the battery. Likewise under charging over time, will reduce the discharge time and shorten the battery life as much as 20%.

The fully automatic charging system utilises bulk, absorption and maintenance cycles. It delivers 10 amps maximum charge in bulk mode until the voltage reaches the absorption level, at which point the charger varies the power output to maintain voltage. Once the power output drops to a preset level the charger goes into maintenance mode maintaining the voltage at a lower level.

An LED display indicates power on, charging ,full charge and check connection. The unit features short circuit and reverse polarity protection, a safety feature which prevents the charger from operating if improperly connected to the battery. It is suitable for use with 12V/6 cell batteries which are flooded wet cell, maintenance free or AGM type only.

Dimensions:
Length: 178mm
Width: 229mm
Height: 197mm
Weight:2.9kg
