Minn Kota Riptide Transom 112 lb. / Hand - 52"

Minn Kota Trolling Motors have a great reputation. I purchased a Minn Kota years ago, after it was recommended to me. The motor never let me down during all the years it was in use.

Have the motor on my kayak and it really gets moving when on high power (five). At first it startled me because the fifth "gear" is much faster than the others. Works excellent although getting through the weeds is a pain, as with any motor, especially since the prop is plastic. Thinking of ordering the three blade machete to cut through the weeds in my river. It is lite weight and works great on my yak. Thought it would be too heavy or too powerful for the yak but it works and the fit is fine. Only missing the 50 amp breaker that I had to buy separately. Minn Kota should have included the breaker since it is required by the Coast Guard. I also like the built in battery meter. Very handy. The extension handle is yet another daily used perk, although I still bought the extension from Minn Kota which is invaluable for motorizing a yak that isn't made to support a motor.......now it it is!
