Saltwater chews up the faint of heart and spits out the pieces. That’s why we engineer our Riptide trolling motors so incredibly tough: to give you every advantage against the nasty perils of saltwater. Riptide is simply the toughest, most corrosion-resistant trolling motor ever built — backed by the industry’s first three-year warranty.
