Take command of the water with the Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive 70, a 54" shaft electric trolling motor built for saltwater anglers who demand precision, reliability, and effortless control. With the rugged durability of a PowerDrive system and the power to tackle demanding conditions, you’ll spend less time fiddling with gear and more time landing trophy fish.
Deploy-Assist Lever makes it easy to get in and out of the water. Just depress the lever to deploy and stow it securely when you’re ready to move, so you stay on the fish and off the ramp.
High-performance navigation and control are at your fingertips thanks to the Advanced GPS Trolling System. Set Spot-Locks to hold your position, dial in your speed and steering, and command your boat with the simple, intuitive micro remote. For those who want even more situational awareness, you can upgrade to the full-function GPS navigation remote for at-a-glance control.
