Minn Kota Riptide Terrova 80 lb Saltwater Bow Mount Trolling Motor – 60" Shaft, 24V

Saltwater-Rated. Versatile Reach. 24V GPS Precision.

The Minn Kota Riptide Terrova 80 lb with a 60" shaft is the most versatile configuration in the Riptide 80 lb saltwater family. The 60" shaft fits the widest range of inshore and nearshore boat bow heights, while multi-layer corrosion protection keeps the motor performing in saltwater environments. Spot-Lock® GPS anchoring and AutoPilot™ heading control give you precise boat positioning in tidal current and coastal wind — without the complexity of a 36V system.

Key Features

• 80 lbs of Thrust / 24V: Reliable power for mid-size saltwater boats in tidal current, wind, and coastal conditions
• 60" Indestructible Composite Shaft: The most versatile shaft length in the Riptide 80 lb family, suited to a wide range of bow heights; lifetime guarantee against breakage
• Spot-Lock® with Jog: GPS anchor holds your exact position; micro-adjust with the push of a button
• AutoPilot™: Automatically steers a straight heading so you can focus on fishing
• Advanced Corrosion Protection: Lower unit housings are grit-blasted, aluminum-coated to prevent oxidation, then finished with a powder coat layer — built to handle saltwater exposure
• Digital Maximizer™: Extends battery run time up to 5× compared to conventional motors
• Weedless Wedge™ 2 Prop: Swept-back blades power through grass and debris without bogging down
• Push-to-Test Battery Meter: Instant battery status at the motor head
• Mobile App Compatible: Full control from your Apple® or Android™ device
• Includes: Handheld remote

Compatible Applications

• Flats boats, bay boats, and aluminum or fiberglass hulls in the 17–22 ft range in tidal and coastal environments
• 24-volt dual battery systems
• Anglers who need 24V GPS anchor control in current and wind without integrated sonar

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The Riptide Terrova 80 lb / 60" / 24V is the default recommendation in the Riptide 80 lb lineup — the 60" shaft fits the broadest range of saltwater boat bow heights (approximately 22"–28" from the waterline), making it the right choice when you’re not certain which shaft length suits your hull. It’s well-matched to flats boats, bay boats, and similar inshore or nearshore hulls in the 17–22 ft range where 12V thrust is insufficient but a 36V / 112 lb system is more than needed.

Shaft Selection Tip: A general rule is to add 16" to your bow height to determine the minimum shaft length needed. Measure from the waterline to the top of the bow mount before ordering. If your bow is below 22", consider the 54" shaft model; if it’s above 28", step up to the 72" shaft model.

No Integrated Sonar: The Riptide Terrova line does not include a built-in sonar transducer. If integrated MEGA Down Imaging is a priority, consider the freshwater Terrova 80 lb / 60" with MEGA Down Imaging — noting it is not saltwater-rated.

Saltwater Maintenance: Rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water after every saltwater use. The corrosion protection is robust, but consistent rinsing significantly extends service life.

24V Battery Setup: Requires two 12V batteries wired in series. Use matched batteries of the same age, type, and capacity. AGM or lithium in the 100–120 Ah range recommended.
