Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor with Wireless Remote

Professional Brushless Performance for Higher Bows and Demanding Saltwater Conditions

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® QUEST™ 90/115 with a 72-inch shaft is designed for anglers who need the advantages of Minn Kota’s premium brushless platform while maintaining consistent propeller depth on boats with higher bow heights or in rougher coastal conditions. Whether wired for 24V (90 lb thrust) or 36V (115 lb thrust), it delivers exceptional control, torque, and runtime for demanding saltwater applications.

The QUEST platform delivers up to 50% more torque and up to 30% longer runtime than previous-generation brushed motors — making it particularly well suited for larger boats, heavier loads, and the kind of conditions where a standard Terrova reaches its limits.

Should I Choose the 60" or 72" QUEST?

Both models share the same QUEST brushless platform, dual-voltage flexibility, and Advanced GPS features. The shaft length is the differentiator.

Shaft	Best For
60"	Medium bay boats, lower-to-moderate bow heights, protected and moderate conditions
72" (this model)	Higher bow heights, larger bay boats, inshore center consoles, wind and chop

If you’re unsure which shaft is right for your boat, contact us before ordering. Bow height and fishing conditions matter more than overall boat length.

Is This the Right Trolling Motor for You?

The QUEST 72" may be the right choice if you:

✅ Run a larger bay boat, hybrid bay boat, or inshore center console with a higher bow.

✅ Want brushless efficiency and dual-voltage flexibility on a longer shaft.

✅ Fish heavy wind, strong tidal current, or open coastal waters regularly.

✅ Fish long tournament days or professional guide trips.

✅ Want real-time battery monitoring and Eco Mode for all-day performance.

✅ Want to future-proof your system with a motor that supports both 24V and 36V.

Boat Match Guide

Boat Type	Recommendation
Bay Boat (Higher Bow)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Hybrid Bay Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Inshore Center Console	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Guide Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match
Offshore-Capable Center Console	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match
Bay Boat (Standard Bow)	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match — 60" may also work

QUEST Platform Features

QUEST Brushless Motor

The QUEST platform uses a brushless motor design that delivers up to 50% more torque and up to 30% longer runtime than previous-generation brushed 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-large bay boats, moderate conditions
36V	115 lb	3 x 12V in series	Larger boats, heavy current, demanding conditions

Start with a 24V setup today and add a third battery to upgrade to 36V in the future — without replacing the motor.

Real-Time Battery Monitoring

The QUEST platform 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.

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. Improved rigidity, reduced flex, and a lifetime guarantee make it one of the most durable shaft options in the Minn Kota lineup.

Advanced GPS with Spot-Lock® with Jog

Spot-Lock® electronically holds 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 and a 72-inch shaft, Spot-Lock holds more effectively in stronger wind and current than shorter or less powerful motors 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

Should I choose the 60-inch or 72-inch QUEST?

Both models share the same QUEST brushless platform and dual-voltage flexibility. The 72-inch shaft is the better choice for boats with higher bow heights or anglers who regularly fish rougher coastal conditions where the 60-inch shaft may not maintain adequate propeller depth. Bow height and fishing conditions matter more than overall boat length. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help you choose the right configuration.

---

Why choose QUEST over the standard Terrova?

The QUEST platform uses a brushless motor that delivers up to 50% more torque and up to 30% longer runtime than previous-generation brushed motors. 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.

---

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.

---

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 translate to longer battery runtime — which matters on a full day of fishing.

---

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 (72") is the right motor for anglers who want everything the 60" QUEST offers — brushless efficiency, dual-voltage flexibility, real-time battery monitoring — plus the additional shaft length needed for larger boats and more demanding conditions.

If you’re comparing the 60" and 72" QUEST, the decision comes down to bow height and where you fish. If your bow regularly rises in chop or your trolling motor loses propeller depth in rough conditions, the 72-inch shaft can dramatically improve boat control and GPS performance. If you’re on a standard-bow bay boat fishing primarily protected waters, the 60" is likely the better fit.

Contact us if you’re unsure. We’d rather help you choose correctly than have you order the wrong configuration for your boat.
