Minn Kota Riptide Terrova® 80 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - 24V - 80LB - 54"

Master Saltwater Fishing with Unmatched Boat Control

Imagine drifting precisely over a school of redfish in choppy bays or holding steady against strong tidal currents without constantly adjusting your position. The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova 80 delivers that level of control, tailored for the relentless demands of saltwater environments. Anglers swear by its GPS-guided features that let you focus on casting and reeling rather than fighting the elements. With powerful 80-pound thrust and a 54-inch shaft, it handles everything from flats boats to larger center consoles, giving you the edge in tournaments or casual outings.

What sets this trolling motor apart is its seamless integration of technology and rugged build. No more manual repositioning—let smart systems do the work while you enjoy the hunt. Saltwater pros appreciate how it combines intuitive wireless operation with app-based commands, making long days on the water less exhausting.

GPS Precision That Keeps You on the Fish

At the heart of the Riptide Terrova 80 lies an advanced GPS system designed for real-world fishing scenarios. Spot-Lock anchors your boat virtually, using GPS to maintain position within inches, even as winds shift or currents pull. Add Jog functionality, powered by the included heading sensor, to nudge your hold spot up to five feet in any direction—perfect for dialing in on structure without resetting.

Record your proven paths across oyster beds or reefs, then retrace them effortlessly on future trips. Control speed and steering directly from the wireless remote's clear LCD display, putting command at your fingertips. This isn't just navigation; it's a fishing advantage that saves time and battery life.

Intuitive Controls for Hands-Free Operation

Forget foot pedals clashing with your casting space. The wireless remote offers full throttle, steering, and GPS mode access from anywhere on deck. Pair it with the Minn Kota mobile app on your smartphone for even more convenience—adjust settings, engage Spot-Lock, or check battery status on the fly. Compatible with both iOS and Android, the app also handles software updates, ensuring you're always running the latest enhancements.

A quick push-to-test battery meter on the motor head gives instant feedback, so you're never caught short during prime bite windows. Variable speeds via Digital Maximizer optimize power draw, stretching a single charge up to five times longer than traditional motors.

Engineered for Saltwater Durability

Salt spray, corrosion, and impacts are no match for this motor's defenses. The lower unit undergoes grit-blasting, aluminum undercoating, and marine-grade powder coating for superior rust resistance. An indestructible composite shaft flexes under pressure but won't snap—backed by a lifetime guarantee.

The Weedless Wedge 2 propeller slices through grass, kelp, or debris with swept-back blades, minimizing drag and preserving thrust. Bolt-on bow mount secures firmly, while electric steering delivers smooth, responsive turns.

Real-World Performance Tips from Seasoned Anglers

Pair this 24V setup with deep-cycle batteries for all-day reliability—users report running full tournaments without recharge. In heavy weed areas, drop to mid-speeds for max efficiency. For offshore wrecks, leverage Spot-Lock to hover perfectly while vertical jigging. Maintenance is simple: rinse with fresh water after each use to extend the two-year warranty coverage.

Compared to basic electric-steer models, the GPS integration shines in dynamic conditions, reducing fatigue and boosting catch rates. It's a favorite for inshore species like trout, snook, and flounder where positioning is everything.
