Automatic Stow, Deploy & Power Trim
The Riptide Instinct QUEST Q2 features automatic stow and deploy, allowing you to raise or lower the trolling motor at the push of a button.
This is particularly useful on larger center consoles and high-freeboard boats where manually reaching the trolling motor can be difficult.
Power Trim allows you to adjust the motor's running depth electronically as conditions change, helping maintain proper propeller submersion without manually adjusting the shaft.
Both functions can be operated through the included wireless remote or supported connected controls.
Advanced GPS Boat Control
The Riptide Instinct QUEST Q2 uses Minn Kota's advanced GPS navigation system for precise positioning and automated boat control.
Improved Spot-Lock automatically maintains your boat's position without requiring constant steering corrections.
Drift Mode combines speed and course control to help maintain a consistent drift in changing wind and current.
Draw and Navigate allows you to create a route on a compatible connected fish finder and have the trolling motor follow it automatically.
Intelligent Depth Control works with compatible connected equipment to provide shallow-water alerts and supported protective actions.
Certain navigation features require compatible electronics, mapping, or additional connected equipment.
QUEST Q2 Brushless Performance
Minn Kota's QUEST Q2 Series combines brushless motor technology with advanced navigation and control features for demanding fishing applications.
The dual-voltage design allows the motor to operate on either a 24V or 36V trolling motor battery system.
At 24V, the motor produces up to 90 lbs of thrust. At 36V, it delivers up to 115 lbs of thrust.
Real-Time Battery Monitoring provides information about remaining battery capacity and estimated runtime, while Eco Mode helps conserve power when battery levels are low.
Saltwater-Ready Construction
The Riptide Instinct QUEST Q2 is engineered for harsh marine environments.
Its corrosion-resistant construction, reinforced mounting system, and durable composite shaft provide dependable performance for saltwater fishing.
The extra-long 100" shaft is particularly beneficial on boats with higher freeboards, helping keep the propeller properly submerged when operating in waves and rough conditions.
