RIPTIDE POWERDRIVE2 70 Lbs Front Motor

SPOTLOCK, AUTO--PILOT, AND REMOTE CONTROL

Thanks to its built-in GPS, the Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive2 70 lbs bow motor features SpotLock, which automatically holds the boat at a precise GPS location. The motor adjusts its direction and thrust to compensate for wind and current, without any input from the angler.

The AutoPilot feature, meanwhile, allows you to follow a set course while automatically correcting for wind and current-induced drift.

• Propeller: turns the motor on or off
• Speed control: increases or decreases speed
• SpotLock: keeps the boat at a precise GPS position.
• AutoPilot: Follows a set course while compensating for the effects of wind and current.

LAUNCH AND BATTERY GAUGE

The motor features a launch assist system. Simply press the lever to deploy the motor. After your fishing trip, raise it by operating the lever, and it locks into the stowed position to ensure safe travel.

The motor also includes a battery gauge. Just press a button to check your battery’s charge level.

• Lever for Lowering and Retracting
• Battery gauge to check the charge level.

Two handy features that make the PowerDrive2 Riptide e more enjoyable to use, from launching to returning to port.

IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY

Riptide PowerDrive2 features wireless connectivity for remote control. It can also communicate with compatible Humminbird and Minn Kota equipment through the One Boat Network ecosystem.

From a compatible smartphone, the Minn Kota Fishing app lets you control the motor without having to go to the bow of the boat.

• Draw & Navigate: Plot a Course for Your Motor
• Humminbird -integration for access to navigation features

Whether you want to reach a specific spot or explore a new area, these features make your trips easier and let you spend more time fishing.

WHAT SHAFT LENGTH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

The shaft length depends on the distance between the bow and the waterline. A shaft that’s too short may not submerge the propeller sufficiently, especially in rough water. You should therefore check this measurement before choosing your motor. To do so:

• Measure the distance between the bow and the waterline.
• Add 30 cm to this measurement if you’re fishing in rough water.
