Why Choose Riptide Instinct QUEST
Instinct is for the boats that are too big for Riptide Terrova. If you need a 100" shaft, Auto Stow/Deploy on saltwater, or the most powerful saltwater trolling motor available, this is the only option. It's the saltwater equivalent of Ulterra QUEST — same Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, same QUEST brushless platform, but with Riptide corrosion protection and shaft lengths up to 100".
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 100" shaft for?
The 100" shaft is designed for the largest saltwater boats — offshore center consoles, sportfishing boats, and vessels with very high bows where shorter shafts can't maintain proper prop submersion in rough seas.
Is Riptide Instinct QUEST available in black?
Yes — Minn Kota makes black versions (SKUs 1358580-1358583), but CSO currently carries the white finish models shown above.
