Saltwater Engineering

Advanced Corrosion Protection

Built to withstand harsh saltwater environments, the Riptide RT80/T features premium-grade alloys enhanced by a multi-step cleaning process, armored plating, and a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. This multi-layered protection ensures longevity, even in the most challenging conditions.

Fully Encapsulated Electronics

All control boards are fully encased in marine-grade urethane, safeguarding the electronic circuitry from the corrosive effects of saltwater. Additionally, all electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep moisture out, ensuring reliable performance.

Sacrificial Anode

The motor incorporates metals balanced with a composite shaft to prevent galvanic corrosion. A small zinc anode absorbs corrosion, protecting the rest of the motor from saltwater attack, thereby extending the motor’s lifespan.
