Riptide RT55/S Mount No other trolling motor withstands the destructive forces of saltwater like Riptide, giving you years of reliable, trouble-free service. Where other trolling motors back down, Riptide stands firm featuring the industry?s first three-year warranty. That?s why more saltwater enthusiasts now have a Riptide transom-mount backing them up.To demonstrate the difference between Riptide and the conformal-coated electronics of Great White, we subjected each control board to hours of salt spray. The results were obvious and clear. Riptide?s electronics displayed no adverse affects, while the Great White board showed significant corrosion. With Riptide, you get better protection for year after year of trouble-free service.Advanced Corrosion Protection - Premium grade alloys, including aluminum upper arms, are impervious to rust.
