Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest Bow Mount Saltwater Trolling Motor — 90/115 lb Thrust, 100" Shaft, 24/36V, White w/Handheld Remote

Minn Kota Riptide Instinct Quest — 100" Maximum-Reach Saltwater GPS Trolling with Hands-Free Auto Stow & Power Trim

The Riptide Instinct Quest 1358563 is the ultimate bow-mount trolling motor for offshore anglers who refuse to compromise. It combines the Instinct’s fully automatic stow/deploy and Power Trim with a 100" shaft — the longest available in the Riptide Instinct Quest lineup — to put world-class GPS trolling technology on the biggest, tallest offshore platforms that have historically been out of reach for bow-mount motors. If your boat sits high in the water and you want hands-free convenience without giving up shaft length, this is the one. The white finish is designed to blend cleanly with most offshore center console and sportfisher 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
• 100" Shaft — The longest shaft in the Riptide Instinct Quest lineup; purpose-built for extreme-freeboard offshore hulls where 60", 72", and 87" shafts 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 1358563 is the top of the Riptide Instinct Quest lineup — the only model that combines the Instinct’s Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim with a 100" shaft. If you’ve worked through the 60" (1358560), 72" (1358561), and 87" (1358562) Instinct options and none of them reach, this is your motor. As a general rule, your shaft length should be at least 20" longer than your bow height above the waterline — the 100" shaft covers bows up to approximately 45–48". If you’re deciding between this and the Riptide Terrova Quest 100" (1363903), the key difference is automation: the Instinct stows and deploys hands-free and adds Power Trim; the Terrova requires a manual lever. If you’re unsure which shaft length is right for your hull, measure from the waterline to the top of your bow and contact us before ordering.
