Key Features

QUEST Series Brushless Motor

Auto Stow & Deploy

Press a button on the wireless remote, the One-Boat Network app, or a compatible Humminbird. The motor handles the rest. Launch and land without leaving the helm.

Power Trim

Raise or lower the motor depth instantly to match chop, tide, or flats. No lifting. No hassle.

Technical Specifications

Sizing and Boat Fit Tips

• 72 in shaft is ideal for high bows, offshore center consoles, and big bay boats. On most hulls, the motor head should sit 12–18 in under the waterline at rest.

• Running 24V gives you 90 lbs thrust; step up to 36V for 115 lbs when you fish heavy wind, current, or longer days offshore.

• Use dedicated deep-cycle lithium or AGM batteries, matched and balanced, with appropriately sized breakers and cabling.

FAQs

Does the Instinct QUEST integrate with my Humminbird?
Yes. It’s One-Boat Network ready, and this kit includes the Ethernet and HELIX adapter cables.

Can I switch between 24V and 36V later?
Yes. The QUEST platform supports both. You’ll need the proper battery bank and breaker for each configuration.

Is the 72 in shaft too long for me?
If your bow rides high or you fish rough water, 72 in is the right call. It keeps the prop buried so Spot-Lock holds better in chop.

What batteries work best?
Quality lithium or AGM deep-cycle marine batteries with the correct amp-hour rating. Follow Minn Kota’s breaker and wire gauge charts for your total run length.

Freshwater OK?
Absolutely. The Riptide finish is overbuilt for salt, which means excellent durability anywhere.
