Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - 24/36V - 90/115LBS - 60" - Black
Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - 24/36V - 90/115LBS - 60" - Black — Product description
Imagine navigating choppy saltwater bays or battling offshore swells with a trolling motor that anticipates your every move. The Riptide Instinct QUEST series redefines reliability for serious anglers tackling big water on larger vessels. This dual-voltage powerhouse combines brushless efficiency with cutting-edge GPS smarts, ensuring you stay locked on fish-rich spots even when conditions turn brutal. Built for those who fish hard and expect gear to match their grit, it transforms challenging outings into precision hunts.
Engineered for Extreme Conditions
Crafted specifically for saltwater environments, this 60-inch shaft model delivers 90 pounds of thrust at 24 volts or 115 pounds at 36 volts, giving you flexible power options for varying boat sizes and loads. The reinforced mount and motor housing shrug off corrosion and impacts, while the lifetime-guaranteed composite shaft flexes under stress without breaking—proven in real-world tests from Florida flats to Great Lakes gales.
Seamless Stow and Deploy
Forget wrestling with heavy gear. Auto Stow and Deploy activates with a single button press via the wireless remote, foot pedal, mobile app, or compatible fish finder. It smoothly raises or lowers the motor, saving time and reducing wear during quick transitions between trolling and trailering.
Effortless Power Trim
Adapt to depth changes or waves instantly. Power Trim lets you adjust the motor angle electronically from multiple controls, keeping your prop in the strike zone without leaning over the bow. Ideal for solo anglers or when waves make manual adjustments risky.
GPS Precision That Keeps You on Fish
- Spot-Lock with Jog: Anchors your boat virtually with GPS accuracy better than traditional anchors. Nudge your position up to five feet in any direction using the heading sensor—perfect for dialing in over structure.
- Drift Mode: Point and steer through wind and current like a pro. No more drift socks or kicker motors; maintain control at any speed for natural presentations.
- Advanced AutoPilot: Follows contour lines, records custom paths, and holds course automatically, freeing you to focus on casting and fighting fish.
Integrated Tech for Smarter Fishing
Seamlessly joins the One-Boat Network, pairing out-of-the-box with select Humminbird units via included Ethernet and adapter cables. Access enhanced navigation without extra hassle. The wireless remote's LCD screen provides at-a-glance stats, while real-time battery monitoring predicts runtime and prompts Eco Mode to stretch charge life—crucial for all-day tournaments.
Battery-Smart Design
Digital Maximizer technology optimizes power delivery, extending runtime up to five times versus traditional motors. Variable speeds mean you sip power at trolling pace, not guzzle it. Pair with deep-cycle batteries for marathon sessions, and use the app's Eco Mode to throttle back when reserves dip low.
Built to Outlast the Toughest Days
Saltwater demands ruggedness—this motor delivers. The Power Prop (MKP-40) slices through weeds and maintains thrust under load. Electric steering responds crisply, and the heel-toe/electric foot pedal offers intuitive control. No lift-assist needed thanks to the robust design, but bowguard compatibility is available for extra protection.
Pro anglers swear by its quiet operation, minimizing spooks in shallow waters. In user scenarios from bass tournaments to redfish chases, it consistently outperforms in 4-6 foot seas, holding position where competitors drift off.

Riptide Instinct QUEST™ 90/115 Trolling Motor with Wireless Remote - 24/36V - 90/115LBS - 60" - Black
Big water, bigger boats – that’s where Instinct comes in. A motor is designed not just to handle the elements but to thrive in them. With the most dependable automatic stow and deploy ever built, Instinct comes ready to go where other trolling motors won't. The new QUEST series of dual 24/36 volt brushless trolling motors were designed for anglers who demand the best from their equipment – even in the harshest environments. With a reinforced motor and mount, more advanced GPS functionality than ever, and even an eco mode to extend battery life, Instinct is ready to tackle the elements where the waves are high – and so are the stakes.
QUEST Series
These 24/36V dual-voltage brushless motors have been completely re-imagined from the ground up with updates to mounts, propellers, lift assist systems, drive motors, and software – taking the world’s greatest trolling motors and redesigning them to outperform everything else on the water for years to come.
Auto Stow & Deploy
Stow or deploy Instinct just by pushing a button on your wireless remote, foot pedal, the One-Boat Network App, or Humminbird fish finder.

Advanced GPS Trolling System
The most-trusted navigation system in fishing. Instinct uses GPS to control your trolling motor with unrivaled features that keep you on the fish.
