Spot-Lock® GPS Anchoring

Spot-Lock has transformed the way anglers fish.

✔ Stay on fish longer

✔ Eliminate constant trolling motor adjustments

✔ Improve casting accuracy

✔ Fish bridges, docks, reefs, wrecks, and structure more effectively

✔ Spend more time fishing and less time managing the boat

Many anglers consider Spot-Lock the single most valuable feature available on a modern trolling motor. Also consider the Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest for the latest GPS platform with One-Boat Network integration.

Wireless Remote Convenience

The included wireless remote gives anglers complete control from virtually anywhere onboard.

Functions include:

• Steering control

• Speed adjustments

• Spot-Lock activation

• AutoPilot navigation

• Propeller operation

Whether you’re fishing from the bow, stern, casting platform, or cockpit, you’ll always have complete control of your trolling motor.

Built Specifically for Saltwater

The Riptide Terrova is engineered specifically for harsh marine environments.

Saltwater-ready features include:

• Advanced corrosion-resistant materials

Whether you fish Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, Florida Keys backcountry, Chesapeake Bay, Gulf Coast waters, or Atlantic coastal fisheries, the Riptide Terrova is built to perform season after season.

Why Choose a 60-Inch Shaft?

The 60-inch shaft is one of the most versatile and popular shaft lengths available.

Compared to shorter shaft models, the additional length provides:

✔ Better propeller depth in rough water

✔ Better boat control in chop and swell

✔ Reduced propeller ventilation

✔ Improved performance on boats with higher bows

✔ Greater versatility in changing conditions

For many bay boats, center consoles, hybrid boats, and pontoons, the 60-inch shaft provides the ideal combination of performance and versatility. See our shaft length guide for help selecting the right size.
