Take command of the water with the Minn Kota Riptide Maxxum 80 52" Bow Guard. This saltwater-ready bow-mount trolling motor delivers reliable 80 pounds of thrust with a rugged 52" shaft, engineered to endure harsh conditions while keeping noise and vibration to a minimum. Built for serious anglers, it combines battlefield-tested toughness with boat-friendly convenience for a full day of fishing.
The Bowguard 360°® Breakaway mount is designed to protect your motor and boat: it breaks away on impact and automatically resets, ensuring uninterrupted fishing. It even detaches for added convenience when you need to adjust on the fly.
Take control with the flexible Tilt/Extend Tiller: tilt up to 45° and extend up to 6" for a comfortable hand-control trolling experience, while an integrated digital battery indicator keeps you informed of power status at a glance.
Maximize run time with Digital Maximizer™: enjoy up to 5x longer run time on a single battery charge by delivering power only as needed. Dial in your exact speed with variable speed control for precise trolling efficiency and battery conservation.
Performance you can rely on starts with Advanced Corrosion Protection: grit-blasted lower unit housings, aluminum coating to resist oxidation and rust, and a final powder-coated finish for ultimate protection in saltwater environments.
Experience Cool, Quiet Power: Minn Kota’s lower unit stays cooler for longer life and quieter operation, helping you sneak up on wary fish and extend motor life in saltwater settings.
