Advanced GPS navigation
Spot-Lock, route recording, speed control, and precise steering are all managed through the same GPS system. The system holds the boat in position, follows saved routes, and automatically compensates for the effects of wind and current.
Auto-Stow/Deploy & Power Trim
Lifting, lowering, and trimming the engine are fully automatic with a single button press. Auto-Stow/Deploy handles the engine for you, and Power Trim precisely adjusts the depth according to changing conditions—without you having to touch the engine.
Wireless remote control
The lightweight, easy-grip remote control gives you full control over all engine functions. Four fully programmable One‑Boat Network buttons let you customize key functions—such as Spot‑Lock, AutoPilot, or anchor control—to suit your specific fishing style.
Carbon-fiber-reinforced shaft
The carbon-fiber-reinforced composite shaft withstands twisting, impacts, and continuous stress without risk of breaking. Available in shaft lengths up to 72", and the flexible design protects the motor in rough waves. This is Minn Kota’s most durable shaft—and it comes with a lifetime warranty
QUEST technology
24/36 V dual-voltage brushless motor, with a redesigned mount, propeller, drive motor, and software logic to deliver more torque, better efficiency, and smoother performance in all conditions.
Advanced corrosion protection
Designed to provide maximum corrosion protection in demanding saltwater conditions and for long-term use
Never lower the motor manually again
Ulterra motors handle lifting and lowering automatically with a single push of a button—no manual labor or extra reaching required.
Built to last as hard as you fish
Completely redesigned QUEST motors feature sturdier mounts, reinforced swivel mechanisms, and a robust construction that withstands even the toughest fishing conditions.
Control always at your fingertips
As part of the One-Boat Network system, you can control all engine functions using a physical remote control, a foot pedal, the digital controller in the One-Boat Network App, or directly from the Humminbird sonar interface.
Connect and go
The Riptide Instinct features an advanced GPS steering system that enables features such as Drift Mode and provides a direct connection to Humminbird fishfinders without additional setup.
Lock in your fishing spot with a single press
Spot-Lock keeps your boat exactly where you want it, freeing you up to focus on the fishing.
Controlled course in wind and current
Drift Mode works like a GPS-controlled drift sock: it compensates for wind and current to keep the boat’s speed and course steady, so you can focus on casting rather than steering.
Select a depth and follow the bottom contour
In Follow mode, anglers can select a bottom contour—depth, bottom hardness, or vegetation—from the Humminbird fishfinder, and the motor will automatically follow it.
Avoid obstacles without losing your route
Dodge Mode lets you pause automatic navigation briefly and steer the boat manually. Once the obstacle has been avoided, you can resume auto-navigation on exactly the same route without having to reset it.
