Minn Kota's Riptide Terrova and Riptide Instinct: Quest Technology

 Riptide Terrova and Riptide Instinct

With staple features anglers have continuously relied on, the updated motors are loaded with new features to make your time on the water more efficient and enjoyable. Drift mode, which acts as a GPS enabled drift sock, automatically adjusts speed and direction to combat currents and winds. It ensures that anglers maintain the desired speed and course, slowing down if the boat starts moving too fast or speeding up if the boat begins drifting too slow. Drift Mode Reverse even allows anglers to retrace their completed drifts, providing unmatched control and precision.

The updated “Follow the Contour” functionality integrates seamlessly with CoastMaster® mapping, allowing anglers to maintain their desired course effortlessly. By leveraging this feature, anglers can navigate with precision and optimize their fishing experience. Dodge Mode enables anglers to swiftly leave the auto navigation mode to manually steer through waves and around structures, all without resetting their route. This feature enhances navigational control, empowering anglers to navigate challenging waters with ease and confidence.

With nearly 90 years of experience, Minn Kota has built a reputation for dependability, reliability, and durability. The Riptide Instinct and Riptide Terrova trolling motors continue this legacy.
