Minn Kota Riptide Sp Saltwater 70 Bow Mount Trolling Motor With Autopilot Logo
Posted on Jan 03, 2010

Have two of the Minn Kota 70 lb saltwater bow mount 5 speed troll motors and they both have went out. They would start off by losing speed 1, 2, & 3 and only running in high and eventually would get to where had to jiggle handle or cover to get them to run and then would just quit running all together.

Hey Chris,, you are starting a project (or wanting to) that is going to be problematic... It will be easier to go buy a new trolling motor with the money you are going to spend attempting this conversion... the newer trolling motors are so much more efficient...

Minn kota will turn on and off with remote, but will only turn 1" to each side.

take off the top cover on the head of the motor and see if there are any restrictions to the movement of the cable. it may be the cable itself is rusted internally and may need replacement. call min kota on the 800 number on the motor for prices for any patrs you may need.
