The Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive Micro is a saltwater-resistant electric motor for mounting in the bow.
- Advanced GPS Micro Remote: The PowerDrive uses Minn Kota’s new GPS control to keep you in place. The motor comes with a Micro Remote that can control functions: propeller on/off, steering, RPM, Spot-Lock, autopilot and quick full throttle button. Remote control with display is available as an accessory.
- Take advantage of the One-Boat Network: The motor supports One-Boat Network connectivity as standard and comes with everything you need to connect to network-compatible Humminbird fishfinders.
- Compact remote control and a very affordable option.
- Smartphone compatibility thanks to Bluetooth which makes it possible to operate and update the engine from an Android / IOS device.
- Support for the accessory JOG function which allows you to adjust the Spot-Lock anchor point forward, aft, starboard, port in 1.5m intervals. (Requires Heading Sensor and Advanced GPS Remote).
A battery indicator is mounted on the motor mount for easy reading at the touch of a button. PoweDrive BT has stepless speed control and a digital Maximizer for longer run time.
The motor should always be mounted with Minn Kota's 60A fuse and a compatible quick release is recommended. We also recommend that the MKR-28 be used for motor connection (See accessories below).
