Minn Kota offers a wide range of electric boat motors for freshwater or saltwater conditions. Electric boat motors by Minn Kota are available in different strengths (measured in pounds thrust), different shaft lengths for different sized boats, as well as bow mount, transom mount and engine mount.
The best electric boat motors for Australia’s conditions are the saltwater “Riptide” range by Minn Kota. They have fully encapsulated electronics, sacrificial anodes and indestructible composite shafts which are impervious to the corrosive effects of saltwater. There are 4 variants of the Riptide saltwater series which are described below. Should you require information on any of the freshwater models please give our Accessories department a call on (02) 9546-1324 and we will be happy to help.
RIPTIDE SALTWATER TRANSOM MOUNT SERIES The superior durability and long lasting performance of the all new and improved Riptide is also available for the back of the boat. All our transom mount models are 12 volt and range from 40 to 55 lbs thrust. They feature our enhanced corrosion protection, 'sacrificial anode' system and all the rugged reliability you expect from Minn Kota. All in an exciting new look. Why settle for anything less? Get a Riptide and get the very best.
SACRIFICAL ANODE All Riptide trolling motors (transom mount and bow mount) feature a sacrificial zinc anode to fight galvanic corrosion. The replaceable anode is conveniently mounted on the prop hub and provides for better protection and longer motor life.
STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE Provides an extra measure of durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, sharp appearance.
COOL, QUIET POWER Minn Kota motors feature larger brushes and commutators to provide for cooler, more quite operation. Minn Kota's unique bearing system produces a motor with low rpm/high torque to cut down on fish spooking noise...so quiet they'll never hear you coming.
MAXIMIZER (RT55 Models only) Conventional speed coil technology delivers a constant, steady flow of power to the motor, regardless of speed setting. The result is wasted power and excessive heat. Minn Kota variable speed motors utilise a system that delivers the precise amount of power needed at any speed setting. The result is five times longer run time on a single charge for more hours on the water.
URETHANE ENCAPSULATED ELECTRONICS All Riptide control boards (transom mount and bow mount) are fully encapsulated in marine grade urethane to form an impregnable barrier against the destructive effects of saltwater.
INDESTRUCTIBLE COMPOSITE SHAFTS Better than steel, particularly in saltwater. Will not bend, kink, rust or corrode. Guaranteed for life. Standard on all Riptide transom mount and bow mount models.
TILT TWIST TILLER CONTROL Puts natural outboard convenience in the palm of your hand. The RT55 series has full variable control and the RT40 and RT50 have 5 forward settings and 3 reverse

Minn Kota Battery Chargers On-Board:
Suitable for permanent on-board mounting to eliminate the hassle of traditional portable chargers. Available in three models to suit single or dual battery bank installations and provide fully automatic, multistyle charging to properly maintain the batteries. By controlling the current and voltage during the charging cycle, Minn Kota chargers recharge faster than conventional automotive battery chargers while preventing over charging which can damage and shorten battery life. They include an automatic temperature compensation feature that adjusts the output voltage to assure the battery reaches its gassing threshold and achieves a full charge. The temperature compensation feature also protects the batteries from “boiling” due to over charging at high temperatures.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation Delivers fast charging recovery, even in extreme temperatures, while protecting from over charging.
• LED Display Indicates power on, charging, full charge and check connection.
• Waterproof, Shock and Vibration Resistant Heavy duty construction, waterproof to IPX7
• Short Circuit, Reverse Polarity & Ignition Protected A safety feature which prevents the charger from operating if incorrectly connected to the battery
• Saltwater Tested
• For use with 12vdc/6 Cell Batteries Suitable for 50-130 amp hour rated, flooded wet cell, maintenance free or AGM batteries
The new MK110PA 240 volt portable marine battery charger is designed to deliver a precise, proper charge to marine batteries without over or under charging as is often the case with standard automotive battery chargers. It utilises a multi-stage charging system; a feature not found on most portable chargers, to charge up to 50% faster than a single stage (bulk) 10amp portable charger, while properly protecting the batteries. Over charging can damage the useful life of the battery. Likewise under charging over time, will reduce the discharge time and shorten the battery life as much as 20%.
The fully automatic charging system utilises bulk, absorption and maintenance cycles. It delivers 10 amps maximum charge in bulk mode until the voltage reaches the absorption level, at which point the charger varies the power output to maintain voltage. Once the power output drops to a preset level the charger goes into maintenance mode maintaining the voltage at a lower level.
An LED display indicates power on, charging ,full charge and check connection. The unit features short circuit and reverse polarity protection, a safety feature which prevents the charger from operating if improperly connected to the battery. It is suitable for use with 12V/6 cell batteries which are flooded wet cell, maintenance free or AGM type only.
