Common Questions
Do I need the saltwater Riptide version? Yes for inshore salt, bays, sounds, and brackish water. Freshwater motors corrode fast in salt. Riptide models use stainless hardware and sealed electronics built to survive it, and carry a saltwater warranty.
What does Bowguard actually do? When you bump a dock, piling, or oyster bar, Bowguard flexes and absorbs the hit instead of transferring it into the mounting bracket, protecting the motor and your deck. It matters most in tight inshore water.
What is the difference between cable-steer and electric-steer? Cable-steer gives direct, mechanical foot-pedal response that many anglers prefer for precise control. Electric-steer trades that direct feel for a lighter pedal and GPS features like Spot-Lock and AutoPilot.
