Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor with Wireless Remote – 24/36V, 90/115 lb Thrust, 72” Shaft

Premium QUEST Brushless Power for Larger Saltwater Boats

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® QUEST™ 90/115 with Wireless Remote and 72-inch shaft is built for serious saltwater anglers running larger bay boats, center consoles, hybrid boats, and offshore-capable fishing platforms. Combining Minn Kota’s advanced QUEST brushless motor technology, Spot-Lock® GPS anchoring, AutoPilot™ navigation, and the flexibility to run either a 24V 90 lb or 36V 115 lb configuration, this motor is engineered for anglers who need maximum control in wind, current, rough water, and demanding saltwater conditions.

The 72-inch shaft is the key advantage for larger boats and elevated bow heights, helping keep the propeller submerged in heavy chop, offshore swell, tidal current, and bridge fishing conditions. If you need a GPS trolling motor that delivers premium brushless performance with long-shaft stability, the Riptide Terrova QUEST 90/115 72” is one of the most capable saltwater trolling motors in the Minn Kota lineup. Also available: Terrova QUEST 90/115 with 60” shaft.

Whether you’re targeting tarpon around bridges, snapper on offshore structure, redfish on expansive flats, or striped bass in tidal rivers, the Riptide Terrova QUEST gives you the precision, power, and control to stay on fish with confidence. See our trolling motor sizing guide to confirm the right model for your boat.

For anglers comparing traditional electric-steer trolling motors to next-generation brushless systems, the QUEST series represents a major step forward in power delivery and long-term performance. Also compare the Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest for another top-tier GPS option.

Spot-Lock® GPS Anchoring

Spot-Lock is one of the most valuable tools available to modern anglers.

Using advanced GPS positioning, Spot-Lock automatically keeps your boat locked onto a productive fishing location without deploying a traditional anchor.

Why Spot-Lock Changes the Way You Fish

✔ Hold position in wind and current
✔ Stay precisely on reefs, wrecks, bridges, and structure
✔ Eliminate constant boat repositioning
✔ Improve casting accuracy
✔ Spend more time fishing and less time managing the boat
✔ Fish offshore structure, passes, docks, and shorelines more effectively

For many saltwater anglers, Spot-Lock is the single most important trolling motor feature available.

Wireless Remote Control

The included wireless remote gives you complete trolling motor control from virtually anywhere onboard.

Functions include:

• Steering control
• Speed adjustments
• Spot-Lock activation
• AutoPilot control
• Propeller operation
• Advanced GPS navigation functions

Whether you’re fishing from the bow, stern, cockpit, or tower, you remain in complete control of the motor.

Built Specifically for Saltwater

The Riptide Terrova QUEST is engineered for harsh saltwater environments and heavy-duty use.

Saltwater-ready features include:

• Advanced corrosion-resistant materials
• Sacrificial anodes
• Powder-coated lower unit
• Marine-grade hardware
• Protected electronics
• Saltwater-rated construction

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

Why Choose a 72-Inch Shaft?

The 72-inch shaft is designed for larger boats and more demanding conditions where shaft length directly impacts trolling motor performance.

Benefits of a 72-Inch Shaft

✔ Better propeller depth in rough water
✔ Improved Spot-Lock performance in chop and swell
✔ Better control on larger center consoles and bay boats
✔ Reduced propeller ventilation
✔ More consistent thrust in changing conditions
✔ Better performance around bridges, passes, reefs, and offshore structure
✔ Ideal for boats with higher bow heights

If you regularly fish larger center consoles, hybrid boats, offshore-capable bay boats, or rough open-water conditions, the 72-inch shaft offers a major performance advantage over shorter shaft models. See our shaft length guide for help choosing.
