Minn Kota Trolling Motors

Minn Kota Trolling Motors: Setting the Standard Since 1934

Minn Kota has spent over 90 years earning its reputation as the world's leading manufacturer of electric trolling motors. Whether you're chasing bass in a shallow freshwater lake or battling wind and waves in open saltwater, Minn Kota's lineup of trolling motors is engineered to keep you on the fish longer, with less effort and more confidence.

A Lineup Built for Every Angler

Minn Kota offers one of the most comprehensive trolling motor lineups in the industry, covering everything from entry-level bow-mounts to high-performance brushless motors designed for demanding conditions. Key product families include:

• Terrova – The brand's best-selling freshwater bow-mount series, available in 55, 80, and 112 lbs of thrust with shaft lengths up to 72". Re-engineered from the ground up, the latest Terrova models feature Advanced GPS, Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar, and a redesigned wireless remote.
• Ultrex & Ulterra – Premium freshwater bow-mount motors known for rugged construction, lift-assist deployment, and available QUEST brushless technology for serious tournament anglers.
• Riptide Terrova & Riptide Instinct – Minn Kota's dedicated saltwater series, built to thrive in harsh marine environments with available shaft lengths up to 100" and the same Advanced GPS suite found on freshwater models.
• PowerDrive – A dependable, accessible entry point into the Minn Kota ecosystem, available in foot-pedal or Advanced GPS configurations in fresh and saltwater variants.

QUEST Brushless Technology

The most significant recent advancement in Minn Kota's trolling motor lineup is the introduction of QUEST technology. QUEST motors feature a dual 24V or 36V brushless lower unit, a carbon fiber-infused upgraded shaft, and reinforced brackets and pivot points. These motors deliver 30% longer runtime and up to 50% more torque compared to a 24V brushed motor at maximum speed — a game-changer for anglers who fish hard in wind, waves, and current.

Advanced GPS & One-Boat Network

Minn Kota's Advanced GPS Trolling System is the backbone of its modern motor lineup, replacing the previous i-Pilot platform. It introduces standout features like Spot-Lock, which holds your boat in place automatically adjusting for wind and current; Drift Mode, which automatically manages speed and course to keep you on a true drift without the need for drift socks; and Dodge Mode, which lets you briefly exit auto-navigation to maneuver around obstacles before resuming your route. All new Advanced GPS motors also come ready to integrate with compatible Humminbird fish finders via the One-Boat Network, letting you control your trolling motor, shallow water anchor, and electronics from a single app on your smartphone or Humminbird display.

Built to Last

At the core of many Minn Kota trolling motors is an indestructible composite shaft — a Minn Kota exclusive that is guaranteed for life. Combined with real-time battery monitoring and the brand's Digital Maximizer technology, these motors are designed to maximize every amp-hour in your batteries and withstand the rigors of seasons on the water.
