Tired of losing your spot to wind and current? The Minn Kota Riptide Instinct QUEST trolling motor keeps you locked on fish—hands-free.
Imagine this. The sun’s just coming up, your favorite playlist is humming through the boat speakers, and you’re chasing that perfect offshore fishing spot with a cooler full of ice and a full tank of excitement. But then—just when you’re on the bite—you find yourself wrestling with the anchor, drifting off course, and losing your chance at landing the fish you’ve been after.
Sound familiar?
We’ve all been there. That constant battle with wind and current, doing everything but fishing.
The Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest was built for serious saltwater anglers with larger boats. It’s available in shaft lengths from 60 inches all the way up to a massive 100 inches, giving you the reach you need—even on high bows and deep V hulls.
At its heart is Minn Kota’s QUEST brushless motor, running on dual voltage and pumping out up to 115 pounds of thrust. That’s more than enough power to keep you in position when the wind howls and the tide runs fast.
Thanks to its automatic stow and deploy system, you won’t have to lift a finger—literally. Just tap the wireless remote, and the motor stows on its own. You can also raise or lower the motor height with the push of a button, which means no more leaning over the bow or wrestling with hardware.
This setup gives you serious performance and serious convenience—all in one.






The New Standard in Spot-Holding Power
In 2024, Minn Kota leveled up. They completely reengineered their GPS system, moving beyond the old i-Pilot tech. The result? A smarter, faster, and more precise way to stay locked on the fish.
With the redesigned remote, you get better control and faster responses. The updated system includes the legendary Spot Lock feature. Tap the button, and the motor holds your position—tight and steady—no matter how strong the wind or current.
But that’s just the beginning.
Pair the Riptide Instinct with select Hummingbird fish finders, and you unlock the full power of the One Boat Network. This gives you total control and clear communication between your motor and electronics.
You’re not just fishing anymore—you’re running a precision-guided fishing platform.
