Minn Kota Terrova QUEST 90/115 Trolling Motor

Description

During punishing windward walleye tournament blast-offs, the Minn Kota Terrova QUEST Trolling Motor delivers brushless direct-drive propulsion to maneuver heavy deep-V hulls through rolling reservoir whitecaps. Operating on dual 24V or 36V DC systems with a 60-inch carbon-fiber reinforced shaft, this motor delivers up to 115 lbs of thrust to pin tournament boats onto offshore structures.

A heavy-duty cast aluminum pivot bracket supports an upgraded carbon-fiber composite shaft designed to withstand extreme wave impacts without flexing. The brushless motor pod eliminates commutators and carbon brushes, transferring rotational torque directly to the heavy-duty propeller. Weighing 62 lbs dry, this motor pulls 60A at peak 36V throttle, fitting a stowed deck boundary measuring 72 inches long by 14 inches wide.

Key Features of Minn Kota Terrova QUEST

Tournament professionals who buy Minn Kota Terrova QUEST trolling motor packages acquire brushless commercial power equipment built for extreme freshwater conditions. Its brushless motor design operates without electrical brush friction, eradicating sonar clutter on high-frequency side-scan chartplotters while optimizing onboard lithium battery endurance.

• 115 lbs of peak thrust on 36V power holds heavy multi-species hulls over deep structure against ripping currents.
• 60-inch carbon-fiber composite shaft maintains propeller immersion through deep waves without surface cavitation blowout.
• Brushless direct-drive lower unit operates without carbon brushes, delivering silent propulsion and cooler running temperatures.
• Dual-voltage capability allows operation on 24V systems at 90 lbs thrust or 36V systems at 115 lbs thrust.
• Terrova QUEST freshwater motor platform links directly with Humminbird fishfinders via One-Boat Network integration.
• Enhanced Spot-Lock GPS virtual anchor incorporates drift-monitoring software to hold coordinates in rolling swells.
• Heavy-duty prop chops through dense floating vegetation without thermal motor cutoffs.
• Reinforced lift-assist bracket uses high-torque gas springs to cushion stowage on elevated bow decks.

Thrust Curves Battery Amp Draw

Producing 90 lbs of thrust at 24V and 115 lbs at 36V, this brushless lower unit draws 60A at wide-open throttle with exceptional thermal efficiency. Powered by a 36V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, it delivers over 18 continuous hours of boat control at 45 percent throttle. The high-torque direct-drive motor chops through dense weed patches without motor bogging, emitting under 32 dB(A).

Bow Deck Installation Geometry Clearances

Fasten the cast aluminum base through the forward deck using six stainless machine bolts and backing plates, allowing 4 inches of rubrail overhang. Connect the main power cable to a 60A waterproof marine circuit breaker using heavy 6 AWG tinned copper wire. The base fits standard heavy-duty freshwater mounting profiles.

Deck Usability Rigging Inspection Tasks

Deploying the shaft requires releasing the master stow lever and guiding the lower unit into vertical position until the mechanical latch seats firmly. This 60-inch brushless motor is not engineered for low-freeboard aluminum jon boats, small canoes, or vessels displacing under 1200 lbs.

• Inspect the prop drive pin and remove wrapped monofilament behind the hub after each outing.
• Wipe down the composite shaft, remote screen, and mount hinges with freshwater after each outing.
• Inspect remote battery charge and verify power harness terminal torque every 50 runtime hours.
