Start Here: Is the 60" Shaft Right for Your Boat?

My Boat Is…	60" Shaft?
18–24 ft with a moderate-to-high bow profile	✅ Yes — this is your shaft
Under 18 ft or a smaller bass boat	Consider the 45" shaft
Over 24 ft with a high bow profile or rough-water use	Consider the 72" shaft
Prefer Dual Spectrum CHIRP over MEGA Imaging	See the Ulterra QUEST Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60"

Why Choose Built-In MEGA Down/Side Imaging?

MEGA Down/Side Imaging delivers the highest-resolution sonar imaging available in a trolling motor — providing a near-photographic view of structure, timber, brush piles, and bottom composition to both sides and directly below the boat. It's the best choice for anglers who need to locate fish and structure quickly across a wide area, scan flats and shallow cover, or identify specific targets before making a cast.

Why Built-In MEGA Imaging Matters

• High-resolution Side Imaging — scan wide areas to both sides of the boat to locate fish, structure, and cover quickly
• MEGA Down Imaging — near-photographic detail of what's directly below the boat
• Identify specific targets — distinguish individual fish, brush piles, timber, and rock piles with precision
• Scan flats and shallow cover — ideal for bass fishing in shallow water where Side Imaging reveals hidden structure
• Protected transducer integrated into the lower unit — no exposed transducer to snag weeds or damage on launch
• Cleaner installation — motor and sonar share a single cable run to your Humminbird display

MEGA Imaging vs. Dual Spectrum CHIRP — Which Is Right for You?

If You Want…	Best Choice
Side Imaging of structure, timber, and flats	✅ MEGA Down/Side Imaging (this product)
Maximum imaging detail and wide-area scanning	✅ MEGA Down/Side Imaging (this product)
Scanning brush piles, standing timber, offshore structure	✅ MEGA Down/Side Imaging (this product)
Traditional sonar performance with superior depth detail	Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60"
Lower overall system cost	Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60"
Already own Live Sonar (MEGA Live, LiveScope)	Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60"
Deep water vertical jigging and suspended fish	Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60"

Note: MEGA Down/Side Imaging requires a compatible Humminbird fish finder to display sonar. Contact us if you need help confirming compatibility with your existing electronics.

Why Choose the Ulterra QUEST Instead of the Instinct QUEST?

Both the Ulterra QUEST and the Riptide Instinct QUEST share Auto Stow & Deploy, Power Trim, and the QUEST brushless platform. The key differences are environment and sonar integration.

Feature	Ulterra QUEST	Riptide Instinct QUEST
Water type	Freshwater	Saltwater (Riptide-rated)
Integrated sonar	MEGA Down/Side Imaging or Dual Spectrum CHIRP	No integrated sonar
Auto Stow & Deploy	Yes	Yes
Power Trim	Yes	Yes
QUEST brushless motor	Yes	Yes
Spot-Lock with Jog	Yes	Yes
One-Boat Network	Yes	Yes
Best for	Tournament bass, walleye, muskie, deep structure, Great Lakes	Saltwater inshore, offshore center consoles, coastal fishing

If you fish freshwater and want integrated MEGA imaging sonar, the Ulterra QUEST is the correct motor. If you fish saltwater, see the Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MEGA Down/Side Imaging and Dual Spectrum CHIRP?

MEGA Down/Side Imaging provides high-resolution, wide-area scanning to both sides of the boat — ideal for locating fish and structure quickly across a large area, scanning flats, timber, and brush piles. Dual Spectrum CHIRP delivers superior 2D sonar target separation at depth, making it better for deep water vertical fishing and anglers who already run Live Sonar. If you scan structure and cover, choose MEGA. If you fish deep water vertically or already run Live Sonar, see the Dual Spectrum CHIRP — 60" version.

Does this model include a foot pedal?

Yes. The Ulterra QUEST includes both a programmable heel-toe electric foot pedal and a wireless remote, giving you multiple control options from anywhere on the boat.

Can this motor run on both 24V and 36V?

Yes. The Ulterra QUEST 90/115 is a dual-voltage platform — 90 lbs on 24V, 115 lbs on 36V. For boats over 20 ft, we recommend 36V for maximum thrust and runtime.

What size boat is the 60" shaft best suited for?

The 60" shaft is ideal for 18–24 ft tournament bass boats, deep-V fishing boats, and walleye rigs with moderate-to-high bow profiles. It's the most popular shaft length in the Ulterra QUEST lineup.

Is this motor saltwater-rated?

No. The Ulterra QUEST is a freshwater motor. For saltwater use, see the Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST lineup.

What quick-release bracket fits this motor?

The Minn Kota RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket is compatible with the Ulterra QUEST.
