Never Touch Your Motor Again

Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra Saltwater Trolling Motor

Durably designed for saltwater fishing, the bow-mounted, electric-steer Riptide Ulterra trolling motor is Minn Kota's easiest motor to get in the water thanks to its Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim features. Stow or deploy the Riptide Ulterra and adjust to changing fishing conditions without reaching down to your trolling motor—simply push a button on your i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote. The Riptide Ulterra also features Spot-Lock for amazingly accurate GPS anchoring, an indestructible composite shaft, an integrated battery meter that displays the exact charge left in your trolling batteries, and a variable speed Digital Maximizer motor feature that helps you run longer on a single battery charge.

Spot-Lock with Jog

Available on all Riptide Ulterra models, Spot-Lock gives you the power to hold right on top of any productive fishing spot without touching your trolling motor. With the included heading sensor, you can use Jog to move your Spot-Lock location five feet in any direction.

Choosing the Right Minn Kota Motor for Your Boat

Bow Mounting

Equipped with Minn Kota's most advanced features and a wide range of control options, the Riptide Ulterra trolling motor mounts directly to the front of the boat and pulls it through the water for better maneuverability and control.

Motor Shaft Length

Choosing the proper shaft length is important—if it’s too short, the prop won’t be sufficiently submerged. Minn Kota recommends submerging the center of the motor section at least 12 inches.

Thrust Power

Boat weight is key when determining how much thrust you need. You will generally need at least 2 pounds of thrust for every 100 pounds of fully-loaded boat weight (people and gear included). If things like wind or current are major factors where you fish, you’ll want a little extra thrust.

Voltage

To achieve the right amount of thrust for your boat, you'll need to determine how much battery power your trolling motor requires.

  • 24 Volts: Up to 80 pounds of thrust (2 batteries)
  • 36 Volts: Up to 112 pounds of thrust (3 batteries)

Product Description

The only trolling motor that can automatically stow and deploy itself with the push of a button, the Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra provides saltwater anglers convenient control via the included i-Pilot remote or foot pedal (sold separately). Trim the Riptide Ulterra up or down at the push of a button to adjust to changing fishing conditions without having to reach down to your trolling motor. This variable-speed trolling motor includes Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer feature, which allows you to dial in your exact speed, draws only as much power as you need, and provides up to five times longer run time on a single battery charge. Using GPS to lock onto fishing spots with Spot-Lock, record and retrace paths, command speed and steering, and more, the i-Pilot Link system allows you to control your motor from the color touchscreen remote or from a virtual remote on your Humminbird fish finder (sold separately). It also offers Spot-Lock with Jog to hold you in place on top of any productive fishing spot without touching your trolling motor. With the included heading sensor, you can use Jog to move your Spot-Lock location five feet in any direction. An integrated battery meter is built into the i-Pilot to give you an instant reading on the motor's battery life. Minn Kota Riptide motors are designed with advanced corrosion protection and fully-encapsulated electronics to ensure the ultimate saltwater defense. The lower unit housings of Riptide motors are grit-blasted, then coated in aluminum to prevent oxidization and rust. Then, a final layer of powder coat paint provides the ultimate protection. This Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra features 80 pounds of thrust (24 volts) and includes a heading sensor, mounting hardware and cabling, and i-Pilot GPS system.
