Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest — Hands-Free Saltwater GPS Trolling with Power Trim & Extended 72" Reach
The Riptide Instinct Quest 1358561 brings the full Instinct feature set — fully automatic stow/deploy and Power Trim — to offshore boats with higher bows that the 60" shaft can’t reach. At 72", this motor is built for large center consoles, sportfishers, and deep-V platforms where proper motor depth requires extra shaft length. You get the same hands-free convenience and on-the-fly depth control as the 60" model, with the reach to deploy it correctly on bigger, taller hulls. The white finish blends cleanly with most offshore boat color schemes.
Key Features
- Auto Stow & Deploy — Fully automatic, hands-free stow and deploy — the most dependable automatic system Minn Kota has ever built. No lever press required
- Power Trim — Trim the motor up or down at the push of a button to adjust depth on the fly without stopping or reaching over the bow
- 72" Shaft — Extended reach for high-bow hulls and deep-V offshore platforms where a 60" shaft won’t achieve proper motor depth
- Quest Series Brushless Motor — Completely redesigned from the ground up: new mount, propeller, lift assist, drive motor, and software. Runs cooler and more efficiently than brushed motors for longer days offshore
- Dual 24/36V Compatibility — Run on two or three 12V batteries; scale voltage and thrust to your boat’s demands
- 90/115 lb Dual-Thrust Output — Delivers 90 lb at 24V or 115 lb at 36V automatically based on your battery configuration
- Spot-Lock® with Jog — GPS anchor holds your exact position in wind, current, and tide; use Jog to nudge the boat without breaking your presentation
- Drift Mode — Point-and-shoot navigation for superior boat control in any direction at any speed — ideal for live-bait and structure fishing
- One-Boat Network™ Compatible — Connects directly to select Humminbird® fish finders for integrated GPS and sonar control from a single display
- Mobile App Compatible — Control the motor directly from your Apple® or Android™ device via the One-Boat Network app
- Digital Maximizer™ — Draws only the power you need, delivering up to 5× longer run time per charge
- Eco Mode — Optimizes power draw at lower speeds to extend battery life on long offshore days
- Real-Time Battery Monitoring — Live charge status so you always know how much run time remains
- Indestructible Composite Shaft — Lifetime guarantee; engineered to flex and recover rather than snap
- Handheld Remote Included — Full motor control from anywhere in the boat
- White Finish — Clean, offshore-ready aesthetic that blends with most center console and sportfisher color schemes
- Saltwater-Rated Construction — Corrosion-resistant components throughout, built specifically for brackish and saltwater use

Parts Desk Insights
The 1358561 is the natural step up from the Riptide Instinct Quest 60" (1358560) for anglers whose bow height exceeds 25". It delivers the same Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim convenience on boats that need the extra reach. If you’re comparing the Instinct to the Terrova at this shaft length, the key difference is hands-free automation — the Riptide Terrova Quest 72" (1363901) has the same GPS and brushless motor but requires a manual lever to stow and deploy. If your bow height exceeds 32" and the 72" shaft still won’t reach, step up to the Riptide Terrova Quest 87" (1363902) or 100" (1363903).
