Maximum GPS Boat Control for Larger Saltwater Boats in Demanding Conditions

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® 112 with a 72-inch shaft is built for anglers who fish larger bay boats, hybrid bay boats, and inshore center consoles where additional shaft length and 36-volt power provide greater control in wind, tidal current, and rough coastal conditions.

Combining 112 pounds of thrust, Minn Kota’s Advanced GPS system with Spot-Lock® with Jog, Drift Mode, and a 72-inch shaft, this model is designed to help keep your propeller submerged and your boat precisely positioned when conditions become demanding. It’s an excellent choice for anglers who prioritize control, confidence, and all-day performance across a wide range of inshore environments.

Is This the Right Trolling Motor for You?

This motor may be a great fit if you:

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

✅ Have a higher bow height that benefits from additional shaft length.

✅ 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 and propeller depth.

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

---

You may want to compare another model if:

Choose the Terrova 112 (60" Shaft) if:

• Your boat has a moderate bow height and you fish primarily protected inshore waters.

Choose the Terrova 80 (24V) if:

• Your boat is smaller or lighter and a 24-volt system provides sufficient control.

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.

---

Should I Choose the 60-Inch or 72-Inch Shaft?

The 72-inch shaft is often the better choice for boats with higher bow heights or anglers who regularly fish rougher coastal conditions. The additional shaft length helps maintain propeller depth when the bow rises in waves or chop. If you’re unsure which shaft is right for your boat, our team can help you choose the best configuration based on your boat and where you fish.

Performance on the Water

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova 112 (72") 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 — even when conditions become demanding.

---

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 and a 72-inch shaft, Spot-Lock holds more effectively in stronger wind and current than shorter or less powerful 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 Shaft Length by Boat Length Alone

Bow height and fishing conditions matter more than overall boat length. The 72-inch shaft is not right for every boat — 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 60-inch or 72-inch shaft?

The 72-inch shaft is often the better choice for boats with higher bow heights or anglers who regularly fish rougher coastal conditions. The additional shaft length helps maintain propeller depth when the bow rises in waves or chop. If you’re unsure which shaft is right for your boat, contact us and we’ll help you choose the best configuration based on your boat and where you fish.

---

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.

---

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 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 (72") is one of our top recommendations for anglers who fish larger bay boats and inshore center consoles in demanding coastal conditions.

The combination of 36-volt power, 112 pounds of thrust, and a 72-inch shaft gives you the best possible chance of maintaining propeller depth and boat control when wind, current, and chop make conditions difficult. If that describes where and how you fish, this motor is worth serious consideration.

If you’re on the fence between the 60" and 72" shaft, contact us. We’d rather help you choose correctly than have you order the wrong configuration for your boat.
