1st time ever writing a reviewBought the 70lb thrust 24volt 52in shaft model little over a year ago. COMPLETE JUNK, thank goodness I bought the extended protection plan, had it repaired in April, it broke again in May. Luckily protection plan through BP gave me a gift card. This trolling motor is garbage, save your money or make sure you buy the protection plan.

Invest in a good pushpoleHead became loose after a few months of use. Varible speed handle broke after 6 months. Lower unit locked up after 10 months. Complete waste of money and time.

Ok so far!Arrived on time , installed on my Pathfinder 17t, solid mount, stows easy, looks sharp on my boat... I'm not impressed with the shifting 1-5... it's stiff... spend the extra money and get the variable ... moves boat ok... in wind it struggles ... but didn't want the extra weight of the 70lb 24volt ... I'm used to my bass boat days of the 36 volt that moves the boat in anything ... but overall I'm happy with the purchase ... I'll update in a few months after I use it more in the South Texas saltwater environment...

Nice Trolling MotorAfter having a bad experience with the Motorguide Varimax, I decided to go with MinnKota. I am pleased to say that I have no regrets.

Worst TM ever!70lb 52" shaft on 20' Carolina Skiff JVX, if you want this trolling motor you are better off dropping 7 bills in the toilet and flushing it! In the first 6 months of having this piece of junk, the head became wobbly, because I tightened it to try to make it stop i apparenetly made it too tight and split the fiberglass shaft, the motor inside comes out of the groove at bottom and till not hold tight to twist to speed 5, the rubber handle just spins freely around the inner handle not allowing you to select a speed..... all around just problems, after a year was up the entire housing of the motor was ate up with corrosion, some saltwater trolling motor! Absolute worse purchase I have ever made. I only have experience with 2 saltwater trolling motors, this one and a similar model only it was a motor guide great white with the stainless shaft, if I can find the stainless shaft motor guide I will be snatching it up.

19'6"Was skeptical of buying this trolling motor for my 19'6" bay boat. It's plenty powerful enough to troll my boat. And for the price I couldn't pass it up.
The RTA-19 would be the correct bracket for that model.

What Battery Chager would you recommend for the Minn Kota Riptide SM 101 lb thrust motor?
Asked by: faulk01
Any battery charger will charge the battery you have, if you have 24 volts you will need a 2 bank charger. If you have another 12 volt battery you need to charge as well you will need a 3 bank.
