## Description

Our Riptide engine mount saltwater motors can turn your recreational runabout into a bona fide fishing machine without adding a motor to your deck. You get great electric motor performance when it's time to stow the ski's and wakeboard and pull out the rods and reels. The speed is controlled by an 18' corded remote that can be handheld or mounted in your boat. It offers infinitely variable speed in forward and reverse. The motor can be steered using your boat's steering wheel or outboard tiller. This unit runs on 24 volts

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you run one motor in forward and the other in reverse? thanks**
A: No. Both motors run forward or reverse together only.

**Q: Dose it this really 72 pounds or is that a misprint**
A: Yes, it does weigh 72 pounds. Without a crane or hoist, you will need two people to install it.

**Q: Has anyone tried this on a larger cabin cruiser? 29 ft bayliner**
A: Joseph, i tried it on a 29 foot pontoon but was less than pleased with the performance.  considerably less than 2 hrs endurance with new batteries and calm lake conditions.  if you look on youtube you will find a few electric conversions with two smaller motors together and the owners were pleased but their expectations were considerably less than mine.  i think they were 50% throttle for several hours but were only making a distance of seven miles or so.  sorry that was not right on point.  good luck, bob

**Q: thinking of putting it on my 23' Hydra sport bay bolt..Too much boat ?**
A: No. This unit is big. Lots of power. Great for trolling. Requires a 24 volt install (2 batteries wired together).  My boat is 21'. Downsides- reverse not as effective, creates a little drag/spray under outboard power. Overall we really like it.
