What Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra designed for?

The Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra is a saltwater bow-mount electric-steer trolling motor family built around automated motor handling and GPS-based control. Exact thrust, shaft, voltage and control specifications depend on the individual MPN.

Is the Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra for freshwater or saltwater?

Riptide Ulterra is the saltwater version of the Ulterra platform and is designed for saltwater and brackish-water applications. Always follow Minn Kota's maintenance and installation guidance for the exact motor generation.

Is Riptide Ulterra a bow-mount trolling motor?

Yes. Riptide Ulterra is a bow-mount electric-steer trolling motor , so installation requires a suitable bow mounting surface and sufficient space for the motor to stow, deploy and rotate.

How do I choose the correct Riptide Ulterra thrust?

Choose thrust from your boat's fully loaded weight and operating conditions , not boat length alone. Minn Kota recommends at least two pounds of thrust per 100 pounds of loaded boat weight as a general starting point, with additional thrust considered where wind or current is significant.

What voltage does a Riptide Ulterra require?

Voltage depends on the exact Riptide Ulterra configuration. The currently listed 80 lb MPN 1358954 is a 24V motor , while documented 112 lb Riptide Ulterra configurations use 36V systems. Always verify the exact MPN before planning batteries or wiring.

Which Riptide Ulterra shaft length should I choose?

Choose shaft length from your bow mounting surface-to-waterline measurement and expected water conditions. Minn Kota documentation lists historical Riptide Ulterra configurations with 54-, 60- and 72-inch shafts, while the current Mariners Warehouse listing uses a 72-inch shaft.

Does the Riptide Ulterra have i-Pilot and Spot-Lock?

The currently listed Riptide Ulterra MPN 1358954 uses i-Pilot , which provides GPS-based functions including Spot-Lock. Other generations and MPNs may use i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link, so verify the exact control package before ordering accessories or replacement components.

Does Riptide Ulterra have a built-in sonar transducer?

No. Minn Kota states that saltwater Riptide Ulterra models do not have a built-in transducer . If sonar is part of your setup, confirm the external transducer, mounting method, fish-finder compatibility and any required adapter components separately.

What should I verify before ordering a Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra?

Verify the MPN, thrust, voltage, shaft length, control package, generation and included equipment before ordering. For the current listing, MPN 1358954 identifies an 80 lb, 24V, 72-inch Riptide Ulterra with i-Pilot.

Can Mariners Warehouse help me identify the correct Riptide Ulterra configuration?

Yes. Provide your boat information, fully loaded weight, bow-to-waterline measurement, available battery system and any Riptide Ulterra MPN you already have. These details make it easier to compare the listed configuration or another appropriate Riptide saltwater motor.
