Meet the Minn Kota Riptide Maxxum 55 — a 52" shaft bow-mount trolling motor engineered for saltwater anglers. The integrated Latch & Door bracket delivers a rock-solid hold for secure stowage and quick removal at day’s end, while the Tilt/Extend Tiller gives you instant control with tilting up to 45° and extending up to 6", plus a convenient digital battery indicator on the head.

Designed to endure the harshest marine environments, the Riptide Maxxum features advanced corrosion protection — grit-blasted lower unit housings, aluminum coating, and a protective powder coat — so it resists oxidization and rust season after season. It runs cool and quiet, maximizing motor life and keeping sound to a minimum as you chase bites in peace.
