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

Maximum Shaft Length. Brushless QUEST Performance. Built for High-Bow Boats and Demanding Saltwater Conditions.

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® QUEST™ 90/115 with an 87-inch shaft is built for anglers who need the QUEST brushless platform’s full performance advantage on boats where shorter shafts simply can’t maintain propeller depth. Whether wired for 24V (90 lb thrust) or 36V (115 lb thrust), it delivers exceptional control, torque, and runtime in the conditions that push standard trolling motors to their limits.

The QUEST platform delivers up to 50% more torque and up to 30% longer runtime than previous-generation brushed motors. Combined with an 87-inch carbon-fiber infused shaft, this motor is purpose-built for larger boats, heavier loads, high bow heights, and the kind of rough coastal conditions where propeller depth is the difference between staying on fish and losing control.

Who Should Buy This Motor?

✅ Professional guides who fish long days in demanding conditions.

✅ Serious tournament anglers who need maximum performance and runtime.

✅ Owners of large bay boats, hybrid bay boats, or inshore center consoles with high bow heights.

✅ Anglers who carry heavy fishing loads, multiple clients, or large amounts of gear.

✅ Customers who want premium brushless performance rather than simply adequate performance.

✅ Anglers planning to keep their boat for years and want a motor that can grow with them.

Why Choose an 87-Inch Shaft?

The 87-inch shaft is not just longer — it exists to solve a specific problem: keeping the propeller submerged when it matters most.

On boats with high bow heights, heavy loads, or in rough coastal conditions, shorter shafts can lose propeller depth as the bow rises in chop or swell. When the propeller loses depth, you lose steering authority, Spot-Lock performance, and overall boat control. The 87-inch shaft is designed to prevent that.

Condition	Why 87" Matters
High bow height	Maintains propeller depth that shorter shafts can’t reach
Heavy fishing loads	Keeps prop engaged as the boat sits lower in the water
Heavy chop and swell	Prop stays submerged as the bow rises and falls
Strong tidal current	More consistent thrust and Spot-Lock holding power
Bridge and pass fishing	Better control in current-driven environments

---

QUEST Shaft Comparison

Shaft	Best For
60"	Medium bay boats, lower-to-moderate bow heights, protected and moderate conditions
72"	Larger bay boats, higher bow heights, inshore center consoles, wind and chop
87" (this model)	High-bow boats, guide boats, heavy loads, demanding coastal conditions

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.

Boat Match Guide

Boat Type	Recommendation
Large Bay Boat (High Bow)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Hybrid Bay Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Inshore Center Console (High Bow)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Guide Boat	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match
Offshore-Capable Center Console	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Good Match
Bay Boat (Standard Bow)	⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Consider 72" QUEST
Flats Boat	⭐☆☆☆☆ Not Recommended

Dealer Tip: The 87" QUEST is the most specialized motor in the QUEST Terrova lineup. If you’re comparing the 72" and 87", the decision comes down to bow height and conditions. If your bow regularly rises in chop or your trolling motor loses propeller depth, the 87-inch shaft can dramatically improve boat control and GPS performance. Contact us if you’re unsure.

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.

Dual Voltage — One Motor, Two Configurations

Configuration	Thrust	Batteries Required	Best For
24V	90 lb	2 x 12V in series	Large bay boats, moderate-to-heavy conditions
36V	115 lb	3 x 12V in series	Largest boats, heavy current, most 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

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

Automatically optimizes motor efficiency to extend battery runtime without sacrificing boat control. Reduces power draw while maintaining your selected speed and GPS functions.

Carbon-Fiber Infused Shaft

Stronger and lighter than the composite shafts used on standard Terrova models. Improved rigidity, reduced flex, and a lifetime guarantee — critical on an 87-inch shaft where leverage and flex resistance matter most.

Advanced GPS with Spot-Lock® with Jog

Spot-Lock® electronically holds your boat’s position using GPS — no anchor required. With 90–115 lb of brushless thrust and an 87-inch shaft, Spot-Lock holds more effectively in stronger wind and current than any shorter QUEST configuration.

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

Is the 87-inch shaft worth it?

If your boat has a high bow or you regularly fish in rough coastal conditions, yes. The additional shaft length helps keep the propeller submerged as the bow rises in chop or swell — improving steering authority, Spot-Lock performance, and overall boat control. The right shaft depends on your boat’s bow height, load, and typical fishing conditions. If you’re unsure whether the 72" or 87" is right for your boat, contact us before ordering.

---

Should I choose the 60", 72", or 87" QUEST?

All three share the same QUEST brushless platform and dual-voltage flexibility. The 60" is best for medium bay boats with standard bow heights. The 72" is better for larger bay boats and higher bows. The 87" is for boats where bow height, heavy loads, or rough conditions require maximum shaft length to maintain propeller depth. Bow height and fishing conditions matter more than overall boat length.

---

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.

---

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.

---

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 (87") is the most specialized motor in the QUEST Terrova lineup — and for the right angler, it’s the best choice available before stepping into the Instinct platform.

If you fish a large bay boat, guide boat, or inshore center console with a high bow, and you regularly encounter wind, tidal current, or rough coastal conditions, the 87-inch shaft provides the propeller depth and boat control that shorter shafts simply can’t match in those conditions.

If you’re on the fence between the 72" and 87" shaft, contact us. We’d rather help you choose correctly than have you order the wrong configuration for your boat.
