Minn-Kota Riptide electric saltwater outboard motor

Saltwater chews up the faint of heart and spits out the pieces. That’s why they engineered the Riptide trolling motors so incredibly tough: to protect the outboard against the nasty perils of saltwater. Riptide is simply the toughest, most corrosion-resistant trolling motor ever built (as per manufacturer)

When we are going out in nature to shoot some pictures of wildlife we prefer to use our Minn-Kota electric outboard motor to propel our dinghy instead of our 20 HP Honda outboard. This saltwater outboard is very reliable and powerful enough to move our inflatable catamaran (Rubber) dinghy at a nice speed. It is light and small and we can go for several hours on our battery. We have a deep cycle battery on board for this outboard

We also have a Honda 20 HP outboard
