Description
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.

Auto Deploy and Power Trim
The Riptide Ulterra is the easiest motor you’ve ever fished with. Get your motor in and out of the water automatically using the included i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote. Once your motor’s in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote. (You can also control the Riptide Ulterra from an optional foot pedal, as well as a Humminbird fish finder.)

Minn Kota Riptide motors are designed with advanced corrosion protection and fully-encapsulated electronics to ensure the ultimate saltwater defense.
Optional Riptide Ulterra Foot Pedal
Stow, deploy, and adjust the trim on the Riptide Ulterra, all from the optional electric heel-toe foot pedal (sold separately). You can even activate Spot-Lock with one tap. It also includes rotary speed control dial, momentary/constant on toggle, AutoPilot on/off toggle, and an 18-foot cable with waterproof connector plug.
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)
