Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - 24/36V - 90/115LBS - 87" - Black
Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - 24/36V - 90/115LBS - 87" - Black — Product description
Imagine navigating choppy saltwater bays or expansive coastal waters with pinpoint precision, never losing your prime fishing spot to wind or current. The Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST series redefines reliability for serious offshore anglers chasing trophy catches on larger vessels. This dual-voltage powerhouse combines cutting-edge brushless technology with seamless GPS integration, delivering effortless control that adapts to the toughest marine conditions.
Engineered for Demanding Saltwater Adventures
Built specifically for big-water challenges, this model features a reinforced composite shaft that's virtually unbreakable—backed by a lifetime guarantee. The 87-inch shaft length suits deeper hulls common on bay boats and center consoles, ensuring optimal propeller depth even in rough seas. Switch effortlessly between 24V and 36V setups to match your battery configuration, unleashing up to 115 pounds of thrust when conditions demand maximum power.
What sets it apart? The brushless motor design runs cooler, quieter, and more efficiently than traditional brushed motors. You'll notice less vibration during long drifts and extended runtime on deep-cycle batteries, perfect for multi-day trips without recharging hassles.
Effortless Operation with Smart Automation
Auto Stow and Deploy transforms setup and takedown into a one-touch process. From the wireless remote's intuitive LCD screen, foot pedal, or connected app, simply command the motor to rise or lower—no manual cranking required. Pair it with Power Trim to fine-tune blade angle on the fly, optimizing performance for shallow flats or deep-water trolling without leaning over the bow.
- Seamless Control Options: Wireless remote for hands-free adjustments, heel-toe electric foot pedal for precise maneuvering, or app-based commands via Bluetooth.
- Power Steering: Instant directional response keeps you locked on structure or following bait schools with minimal effort.
GPS Precision That Keeps You on the Fish
At the heart lies an advanced GPS system rivaling the best in marine electronics. Activate Spot-Lock to anchor virtually in place—GPS holds your position within inches, even against 2 mph currents or gusty winds. Need to nudge closer to that school? Jog function shifts your hold spot 5 feet in any direction using the built-in heading sensor.
Drift Mode shines in windy scenarios, letting you point and steer at constant speeds without drift socks or kicker motors. Record custom paths with AutoPath, replay drifts over reefs, or engage AutoPilot for hands-off navigation back to waypoints. Integration with the One-Boat Network means instant syncing with compatible fish finders—no extra cables or setup headaches.
Smart Battery Management for All-Day Power
Real-time monitoring displays voltage, remaining runtime, and amps drawn directly on the remote. When levels dip to 20%, it prompts Eco Mode to slash power consumption, potentially doubling your fishing time. Digital Maximizer technology further stretches battery life by delivering precise power on demand, eliminating waste at partial throttles.
Versatile Connectivity and Customization
Connect to your smartphone via the One-Boat Network app for full control: tweak speeds, engage Spot-Lock, or update firmware over-the-air. Out-of-the-box compatibility with select fish finders unlocks shared waypoints and heading data, creating a unified boating ecosystem. The included MKP-40 Power Prop excels in weeds and heavy loads, maintaining thrust where others bog down.

- Trolling motor assembly with 87-inch shaft
- Wireless remote with LCD display and lanyard
- MKP-40 propeller
