Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® 112 Trolling Motor with Wireless Remote

Maximum GPS Boat Control for Larger Saltwater Boats

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® 112 is built for anglers who refuse to let wind, current, or heavy boat loads dictate where they can fish. Combining Minn Kota’s proven Advanced GPS navigation, Spot-Lock®, and saltwater durability with 112 pounds of thrust, this motor delivers the control serious anglers demand in challenging conditions.

Designed for larger bay boats, hybrid bay boats, and many inshore center consoles, the 36-volt platform delivers the additional power needed to maintain precise boat positioning in stronger wind, heavier tidal current, and rougher coastal waters.

If your boat regularly carries multiple anglers, heavy gear, or you fish demanding inshore environments, the Riptide Terrova 112 provides the confidence to stay on your fishing spot when conditions become challenging.

Dealer Tip: The Terrova 112 is not about having the most powerful motor — it’s about having the right amount of control for your boat and the conditions you fish. If you’re unsure whether the 80 lb or 112 lb model is right for you, contact us before ordering.

Is This the Right Trolling Motor for You?

This motor may be a great fit if you:

✅ Operate a larger bay boat, hybrid bay boat, or inshore center console.

✅ Regularly fish heavy wind, strong tidal current, or open coastal waters.

✅ Carry heavier fishing loads or multiple anglers.

✅ Want Spot-Lock® GPS anchoring with maximum holding power.

✅ Are ready to step up to a 36-volt electrical system.

---

You may want to compare another model if:

Choose the Terrova 80 (24V) if:

• Your boat is smaller or lighter.
• You fish primarily in protected bays and inshore waters.
• You prefer a simpler 24-volt electrical system.

Choose the Terrova 112 (72" Shaft) if:

• Your boat has a higher bow height or you regularly fish rougher conditions.

Choose the Riptide Instinct if:

• You want Minn Kota’s premium brushless platform.

Choose the Riptide Ulterra if:

• Automatic stow and deploy is an important feature.

---

Why Choose 112 lb Thrust?

The 112-pound Terrova isn’t simply about having more thrust. It’s about maintaining precise boat control when conditions become challenging. If you regularly fish larger bay boats, inshore center consoles, or strong tidal current, the additional power of a 36V system can provide better control, reduced strain on the motor, and greater confidence throughout the day.

Should I choose the 80 lb or the 112 lb model?

The decision depends on more than boat length. Boat weight, passenger load, wind, tidal current, and where you fish all play important roles. If you routinely fish challenging conditions or carry heavier loads, the 112-pound model provides additional thrust and greater control. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help recommend the right configuration for your boat.

Performance on the Water

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova 112 was designed for anglers who need dependable, authoritative boat control in real-world saltwater conditions. Whether you’re holding position over a reef, working a bridge piling for tarpon, or anchoring up on a pass in heavy current, the Terrova 112 is engineered to keep you where you need to be.

---

Advanced GPS with Spot-Lock® with Jog

Spot-Lock® allows you to electronically hold your boat’s position using GPS — no anchor required. The Jog feature lets you make precise position adjustments without disengaging Spot-Lock. With 112 lb of thrust behind it, Spot-Lock holds more effectively in stronger wind and current than smaller motors can manage.

---

Electric Steering

Smooth, responsive handling in any conditions. Control steering, speed, and GPS functions from the included wireless remote without leaving your fishing position.

---

Digital Maximizer™

Delivers only the power needed for your selected speed, extending battery runtime and keeping you on the water longer — even with a 36-volt system drawing from three batteries.

---

One-Hand Stow & Deploy

Spring-assisted deployment and stow with a single motion, keeping the motor securely locked during transport.

---

Built-In Battery Meter

Monitor your battery charge level at a glance without additional gauges or electronics. A useful feature when managing a three-battery 36V system on the water.

---

Built for Saltwater

Corrosion-resistant materials and protective finishes designed for harsh marine environments. Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip.

---

Wireless Remote Control

Complete trolling motor control from anywhere on the boat — speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and GPS functions at your fingertips.

---

Drift Mode

Controls speed and course simultaneously — useful when fishing passes, open bays, or structure in current and wind.

---

Why Choose a 36-Volt System?

A 36-volt trolling motor provides the highest level of performance available for serious inshore anglers. Three 12-volt batteries wired in series deliver more thrust, longer runtime, and better efficiency under load than a 24-volt system can provide.

For anglers fishing larger boats, open water, offshore structure, or strong current, a 36V system offers significant advantages. If you’re on a smaller boat or fish primarily protected waters, the Terrova 80 (24V) may be the better fit.

Common Buying Mistakes to Avoid

Choosing the 112 lb Model Just Because Your Boat Is Large

Boat size alone doesn’t determine the right motor. Fishing conditions, load, and how you use the boat matter just as much. Contact us if you’re unsure.

Underestimating the Battery System

A 36V system requires three batteries and a compatible charger. Plan your electrical system before ordering. Browse our ABYSS 36V lithium battery options to find the right match.

Skipping the Circuit Breaker

A properly sized 60-amp circuit breaker protects your trolling motor and electrical system.

Forgetting the Quick Release Bracket

A quality bracket makes deployment and storage significantly easier. See our bracket options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose the 80 lb or the 112 lb model?

The decision depends on more than boat length. Boat weight, passenger load, wind, tidal current, and where you fish all play important roles. If you routinely fish challenging conditions or carry heavier loads, the 112-pound model provides additional thrust and greater control. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help recommend the right configuration for your boat.

---

Is a 36V trolling motor harder to maintain?

Not necessarily. Maintenance is similar to a 24V system, but a 36V setup uses three batteries instead of two. Proper charging, wiring, and routine inspection remain the keys to long-term reliability.

---

Does the Riptide Terrova 112 include Spot-Lock®?

Yes. This model features Minn Kota’s Advanced GPS system with Spot-Lock® with Jog standard.

---

Does this trolling motor deploy automatically?

No. The Riptide Terrova uses One-Hand Stow & Deploy. If automatic deployment is a priority, consider the Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra.

---

What batteries are required?

Three 12-volt batteries wired in series to create a 36-volt system. We recommend the ABYSS 36V lithium battery system for maximum runtime and reduced weight.

---

Is a 36V system worth it?

For larger boats, heavy current, strong winds, and anglers who demand maximum thrust and runtime, a 36V system provides significant advantages over a 24V platform. If you primarily fish protected waters, the Terrova 80 (24V) may be a better fit.

---

Is this motor compatible with Humminbird electronics?

Compatibility depends on your specific model and electronics. Review Minn Kota and Humminbird compatibility information before purchasing.

---

Dealer Insight

The Terrova 112 is the right motor for a specific type of angler — one who fishes larger boats, heavier loads, and conditions where the 80-pound models simply don’t provide enough authority.

If that describes you, this is one of the strongest choices available in the Minn Kota saltwater lineup. The 36-volt platform delivers the control you need without requiring you to step up to a brushless motor or a more complex electronics package.

If you’re on the fence between the 80 lb and 112 lb models, contact us. We’d rather help you choose correctly than have you return a motor that doesn’t fit your boat or fishing style.
