Boat Match Guide

Boat Type	Recommendation
Bay Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Hybrid Bay Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Inshore Center Console	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Guide Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Multi-Species Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match
Heavy Center Console	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match — consider 72" or 87" shaft
Flats Boat	⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Consider Terrova 80 (54")

Dealer Tip: The QUEST 90/115 is not just a more powerful Terrova — it’s a fundamentally different platform. If you’re comparing it to the standard Terrova 112, the QUEST wins on efficiency, runtime, and flexibility. If you’re comparing it to the Instinct, the Instinct adds auto stow/deploy and a more advanced GPS platform. Contact us if you’re unsure which is right for your boat.

QUEST Platform Features

QUEST Brushless Motor

The QUEST platform uses a brushless motor design that delivers more torque, quieter operation, and improved long-term durability compared to traditional brushed trolling motors. Brushless motors have fewer moving parts, generate less heat, and maintain consistent performance over more hours on the water — making them the preferred choice for serious anglers who fish frequently and demand more from their equipment.

Dual Voltage — One Motor, Two Configurations

One of the most significant advantages of the QUEST platform is the ability to run the same motor on either a 24V or 36V electrical system.

Configuration	Thrust	Batteries Required	Best For
24V	90 lb	2 x 12V in series	Medium bay boats, moderate conditions
36V	115 lb	3 x 12V in series	Larger boats, heavy current, demanding conditions

This flexibility means you can start with a 24V setup today and upgrade to 36V in the future without replacing the motor.

Real-Time Battery Monitoring

The QUEST platform includes advanced real-time battery monitoring that goes beyond a simple charge indicator. The system displays remaining battery percentage, estimated time remaining at current speed, and Eco Mode notifications — giving you the information needed to manage your battery system throughout a full day on the water.

Eco Mode

Eco Mode automatically optimizes motor efficiency to extend battery runtime without sacrificing boat control. When conditions allow, Eco Mode reduces power draw while maintaining your selected speed and GPS functions — keeping you on the water longer on a single charge.

Carbon-Fiber Infused Shaft

The QUEST uses a carbon-fiber infused shaft that is stronger and lighter than the composite shafts used on standard Terrova models. The carbon-fiber infused construction provides improved rigidity, reduced flex, and a lifetime guarantee — making it one of the most durable shaft options available in the Minn Kota lineup.

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 90–115 lb of brushless thrust behind it, Spot-Lock holds more effectively in stronger wind and current than standard Terrova models can manage.

Drift Mode

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

Wireless Remote Control

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

One-Boat Network Compatible

Integrates with Humminbird fish finders and other One-Boat Network compatible electronics for a fully connected fishing platform.

Built for Saltwater

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose QUEST over the standard Terrova?

The QUEST platform uses a brushless motor that delivers more torque, longer runtime, quieter operation, and improved durability. It also adds dual-voltage flexibility, real-time battery monitoring, Eco Mode, and a carbon-fiber infused shaft — features not available on the standard Terrova lineup. For anglers who fish frequently and demand more from their equipment, QUEST is the stronger long-term investment.

---

How does dual voltage work?

The QUEST 90/115 can be configured to run on either a 24V system (2 batteries, 90 lb thrust) or a 36V system (3 batteries, 115 lb thrust). The voltage is determined by how you wire your battery system — the motor itself supports both configurations.

---

Can I start with 24V and upgrade to 36V later?

Yes. Because the QUEST motor supports both voltages, you can start with a 24V/90 lb setup and add a third battery to upgrade to 36V/115 lb in the future without replacing the motor. This makes the QUEST one of the most future-proof trolling motors available.

---

Is a brushless trolling motor worth it?

For anglers who fish frequently, fish long days, or fish demanding conditions, yes. Brushless motors deliver more consistent torque, run quieter, generate less heat, and are more durable over time than brushed motors. The efficiency gains also translate to longer battery runtime — which matters on a full day of fishing.

---

Does QUEST run quieter than a brushed motor?

Yes. Brushless motors have fewer moving parts and generate less mechanical noise than brushed motors. For anglers fishing shallow water or targeting noise-sensitive species, the quieter operation of the QUEST platform can be a meaningful advantage.

---

What batteries are required?

For 24V/90 lb: two 12-volt batteries wired in series. For 36V/115 lb: three 12-volt batteries wired in series. We recommend ABYSS lithium battery systems for maximum runtime and reduced weight.

---

Is this motor compatible with Humminbird electronics?

Yes. The QUEST is One-Boat Network compatible and integrates with Humminbird fish finders and other compatible electronics.

---

Dealer Insight

The Riptide Terrova QUEST 90/115 is one of the most compelling trolling motors in the Minn Kota saltwater lineup because it solves a problem that the standard Terrova can’t: what do you buy when you want more than a brushed motor but don’t need the full Instinct platform?

The dual-voltage design is genuinely useful. Anglers who aren’t sure whether they need 24V or 36V can start with two batteries and add a third later. That flexibility is rare in this category and worth paying for.

If you’re comparing the QUEST to the standard Terrova 112, the QUEST wins on efficiency, runtime, and future-proofing. If you’re comparing it to the Instinct, the Instinct adds auto stow/deploy and a more advanced GPS platform. The QUEST sits in a strong middle position — and for many serious inshore anglers, it’s exactly the right motor.
