We designed a special line of trolling motors for use in salt or brackish water. The Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor ‘s have stainless steel hardware and an advanced painting process for improved corrosion protection. Using any of our standard Minn Kota motors in saltwater may dramatically reduce the life of the motor . To extend the life of your motor , thoroughly rinse the motor with freshwater after every use in saltwater and store indoors. Never leave the motor submerged in saltwater when the boat is moored.
