Riptide Terrova QUEST Full Details
Recommended for:
Medium to large saltwater or freshwater Center Console, Deep-V, Pontoon, Fish N' Ski, Bay Boats and general fishing boats.
- When wired for 24v, you'll have 90 lbs of max thrust on tap which provides enough power for boats weighing up to 4,500 lbs.
- When wired for 36v, you'll have 115 lbs of max thrust which provides enough power for boats weighing up to 10,000 lbs.
However, fishing conditions, hull design/shape and intended use all have a significant impact on calculating the appropriate amount of thrust for your boat. For more help determining the right thrust for your boat please refer to our Trolling Motor Thrust Guide.
How It's Unique
The Riptide Terrova QUEST is a more advanced and powerful version of the "brushed" (aka "permanent magnet") Riptide Terrova lineup which has been Minn Kota's most popular line of saltwater trolling motors for many years.
The most significant difference between the Riptide Terrova and the Riptide Terrova QUEST is the actual motor itself. The Riptide Terrova is available with 55 lbs thrust (12v), 80 lbs thrust (24v) and 112 lbs thrust (36v). The Riptide Terrova QUEST motor is a brushless "dual voltage" (24v/36v) motor. Dual voltage motors offer you a choice between wiring the motor for 24v which produces 90 lbs max thrust OR 36v which produces 115 lbs. of max thrust.
Brushless motors such as the QUEST series motors are quieter, more efficient and more powerful than traditional permanent magnet motors. Brushless motors also produce less friction and heat when running which will typically prolong the lifespan of the motor.
The Riptide Terrova QUEST also has a unique "Lift Assist" mechanism, a model with 100" shaft, integrated Heading Sensor and is available in white and black color schemes.
If perhaps you do not need brushless technology, higher available thrust and a 100" shaft length or require a 12v 55 lbs thrust motor, we still highly recommend the less expensive Riptide Terrova 55/80/112 brushed motors. The Riptide Terrova is still a very popular choice for saltwater anglers who want a tried and true motor with top of the line features.

Available Upgrades:
Mounting Details:
This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware, and requires drilling 6 bolts into the hull for installation. Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware.
Due to the weight and torque of the Riptide Terrova QUEST motors, deck reinforcement may be required. If reinforcement is necessary, Minn Kota makes a Deck Reinforcement Kit or you can have a qualified fabricator install an alternative.
If you wish to take the motor on and off your boat, you can also opt for a quick release bracket which is a very popular choice. This Riptide Terrova QUEST requires the more heavily reinforced RTA-55 Quick Release Bracket
Motor Mount Dimensions:
23 1/2" length x 9 1/2" width
Motor Voltage and Batteries:
The Riptide Terrova QUEST is a dual voltage (24v/36v) motor. Depending on the thrust requirements of your boat and fishing conditions you can wire this motor for 24v or 36v. When wired to 2 x 12v deep cycle batteries (24v), the Riptide Terrova QUEST will provide up to 90 lbs max thrust. When wired to 3 x 12v deep cycle batteries, this motor will provide up to 115 lbs max thrust. For more information on the proper batteries to purchase for your trolling motor, see our Trolling Motor Battery Selection Guide.
Motor Wiring Details:
The Riptide Terrova QUEST can be wired directly to the batteries or it can be used in conjunction with a plug and receptacle for a cleaner, more professional installation. If using a quick release bracket, a plug and receptacle like the Minn Kota MKR-28 will allow you to plug and unplug the motor for easy removal and re-mounting.
To protect your motor from control board damage installing a 60amp circuit breaker is highly recommended.
Shielded, marine grade wiring should be used to connect the motor to the power source (aka batteries!). To determine the appropriate gauge wiring download this circuit breaker and wiring table.
If you are using lead acid or AGM batteries, they must be wired "in series" to create the proper voltage for this motor. For instructions on how to properly wire 12v batteries in series, take a look at our 24v-36v trolling motor wiring diagram.
Power Lead Length:
Two 5' power leads (red and black) ending in terminal rings (aka lugs). Minn Kota motors do not come from the factory with trolling motor power plugs. A new power plug can be crimped or heat shrunk onto the power leads; make sure to have a matching receptacle installed in the hull. If you are replacing an existing motor that has a plug already installed, you can transfer it to the new motor's power leads.
NOTE: Although most power plugs and receptacles are universally compatible regardless of voltage, make sure that they are rated at 60amps or more. Minn Kota and Marinco offer high-quality, reliable plug and receptacle sets.
Pedal Cord Length:
18' Cord (Purchased Separately)

Amperage Draw:
60 amps at maximum speed
Motor Run Time:
Important Note: Calculating run time is very difficult due to the many factors involved. As you likely won't be running your trolling motor 100% of the time, the actual amount of on-the-water time will be longer than continuous motor run times listed below. Trolling motor run time can vary depending on the boat, operating conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated batteries. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time.
- 20+ Hours: At slow, trolling speeds that draw 5 amps or less
- 4.8 Hours: Approx. run time with throttle 50% open
- 2.4 Hours: Approx. run time with the motor at full throttle
Stow and Deploy Method:
The Riptide Terrova QUEST has a unique Lift Assist mechanism which is similar to a pendulum and make the stow and deploy process a lot easier. A foot lever on the base of the motor unlocks the lift assist mechanism in order stow or deploy.
Motor Steering Method:
The motor is steered via the included Advanced GPS remote control and/or multi-function foot pedal. The Riptide Terrova QUEST can also connect (aka network) to compatible Humminbird fishfinders via an ethernet connection. This networking feature is part of Minn Kota's "One Boat Network" and allows you to control your motor directly from the Humminbird and tap in to additional auto-navigation and mapping features.
Download Minn Kota's One Boat Network smartphone app to control your motor directly from your phone and sync up with your Humminbird for mapping and numerous additional auto-navigation features.
