MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline or keel of the boat as possible. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and install hardware. The mounting surface for the Riptide Instinct QUEST must be flat. Rubber washers can be used to shim the base extrusion flat before hardware is tightened.
The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat when stowed and deployed. When stowed, ensure that there is enough room for the Shaft and Control Head and that they do not extend off the side of the boat.

View accessories available for your trolling motor at minnkota. johnsonoutdoors.com.

All six mounting holes must be used when securing the Riptide Instinct QUEST to the boat deck. If the desired mounting location does not allow for all six mounting holes and mounting bolts, a Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit (1854058) should be used or a new mounting location selected. Consider a quick release bracket with the installation of your motor.
Mounting options for the Riptide Instinct QUEST include:
1. Installing the motor directly to the boat deck 2. Mounting the motor with an MKA-58 Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit (1854058) 3. Mounting the motor with an MKA-56/RTA-55 composite quick release bracket (1854056 – black/1854055 – white) or an MKA-57
sliding quick release bracket (1854057) 4. Combining an MKA-58 Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit and an MKA-56/RTA-55 Quick Release Bracket with the Riptide Instinct QUEST
When mounting the Riptide Instinct QUEST directly to the boat, follow the installation instructions outlined in this manual.

BATTERY & WIRING INSTALLATION

BOAT RIGGING & PRODUCT INSTALLATION
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician. The following specifications are for general guidelines only:
CAUTION
These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Minn Kota motor. Powering multiple motors or additional electrical devices from the same power circuit may impact the recommended conductor gauge and circuit breaker size. If you are using wire longer than that provided with your unit, follow the conductor gauge and circuit breaker sizing table below. If your wire extension length is more than 25 feet, we recommend that you contact a qualified marine technician.

CAUTION

An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used. Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The type (voltage and current rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the trolling motor used. The table below gives recommended guidelines for circuit breaker sizing.

CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE
This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:

1. No more than 2 conductors are bundled together inside of a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces. 2. Each conductor has 105° C temp rated insulation. 3. No more than 3% voltage drop allowed at full motor power based on published product power requirements.

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES

QUEST series motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12, 24 or 36-volt battery/batteries and have been optimized for use with

LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery cells. Lithium-ion batteries maintain higher voltages for more extended periods than lead-acid batteries and

will provide the best performance in powering the trolling motor.
QUEST series trolling motors may also be powered with leadacid (flooded, AGM, or GEL) deep-cycle marine 12-volt battery/ batteries. For best results, Minn Kota recommends using a

charge. Proper care will ensure battery power when needed and

significantly improve battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery

failure. Use a multi-stage charger to avoid overcharging. When using Lithium Ion batteries, manufacturers may recommend storing in a

semi-charged state and charging fully prior to use.

If using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, Minn Kota recommends using a separate battery/batteries for your Minn Kota trolling motor. Always check with the battery manufacturer for specific maintenance, care and storage instructions. Minn Kota also offers a wide selection of chargers to fit your charging needs. For more information on battery selection, rigging, and chargers, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

WARNING

Never connect the (+) and the () terminals of the same battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and extreme fire danger.

CAUTION
Refer to “Conductor Gauge and Circuit Breaker Sizing Table” in the previous section to find the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse for your motor. For motors requiring a 60-amp breaker, the Minn Kota MKR-27 60-amp circuit breaker (1865115) is recommended.

CAUTION
Please read the following information before connecting your motor to your batteries in order to avoid damaging your motor and/or voiding your warranty.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Using DC or Alternator Chargers
Your Minn Kota trolling motor may be designed with an internal bonding wire to reduce sonar interference. Most alternator charging systems do not account for this bonding wire, and connect the negative posts of the trolling motor batteries to the negative posts of the crank/starting battery. These external connections can damage connected electronics and the electrical system of your trolling motor, voiding your warranty. Review your charger’s manual carefully or consult the manufacturer prior to use to ensure your charger is compatible.
Minn Kota recommends using Minn Kota brand chargers to recharge the batteries connected to your Minn Kota trolling motor, as they have been engineered to work with motors that include a bonding wire. Learn more about Minn Kota chargers online at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES IN SERIES

Additional Accessories Connected to Trolling Motor Batteries
Significant damage to your Minn Kota motor, your boat electronics, and your boat can occur if incorrect connections are made between your trolling motor batteries and other battery systems. Minn Kota recommends using an exclusive battery system for your trolling motor. Where possible, accessories should be connected to a separate battery system. Radios and sonar units should not be connected to any trolling motor battery systems as interference from the trolling motor is unavoidable. If connecting any additional accessories to any trolling motor battery system, or making connections between the trolling motor batteries and other battery systems on the boat, be sure to carefully observe the information below.
The negative (-) connection must be connected to the negative terminal of the same battery that the trolling motor negative lead connects to. In the diagrams below this battery is labeled “Low Side” Battery. Connecting to any other trolling motor battery will input positive voltage into the “ground” of that accessory, which can cause excess corrosion. Any damage caused by incorrect connections between battery systems will not be covered under warranty.
Automatic Jump Start Systems and Selector Switches
Automatic jump start systems and selector switches tie the negatives of the connected batteries together. Connecting these systems to the “High Side” Battery or “Middle” Battery in the diagrams below and will cause significant damage to your trolling motor and electronics. The only trolling motor battery that is safe to connect to one of these systems is the “Low Side” Battery.

STRAIGHT ON DEPLOY

STRAIGHT ON DEPLOY
Minn Kota recommends setting the Keel Offset when the position of the Lower Unit is parallel with the Keel. Save the Keel Offset before exploring the Straight on Deploy feature. Straight on Deploy uses the position recorded in Keel Offset to know where to position the Lower Unit to be parallel with the Keel.
When Straight on Deploy is engaged, the lower unit will automatically rotate to the Keel Offset position when deployed. By default, the Lower Unit will be parallel to the Keel when the Mount is parallel to the Keel. If the Keel Offset was programmed to another angle, the Straight on Deploy feature will correct the position to match the Keel Offset angle when turned “on.” If Straight on Deploy is turned “off,” the trolling motor will not correct the position in any direction.

BOAT SCALE

BOAT SCALE
Trolling motor performance can be impacted by factors including, but not limited to, wind, water conditions, boat specifications, battery health, wiring, etc. Boat Scale provides a method of adjusting how the trolling motor will perform to account for these and other variables. The Riptide Instinct QUEST comes from the factory with Boat Scale set to zero. Boat Scale can be adjusted up (+2) or down (-2) to increase or decrease how the motor control software applies power while using a navigation mode like Spot-Lock.
An example showing the need to reduce Boat Scale would be while using Spot- Lock and the motor is over-correcting or making frequent adjustments. In this case, try reducing Boat Scale -1 to reduce this behavior. If the behavior continues, reduce Boat Scale to -2. An example showing the need to increase Boat Scale while using Spot-Lock would be the motor is drifting away from its target location frequently or needs help to make corrections. Try increasing Boat Scale to +1 to help improve the trolling motor accuracy in this case. If the behavior continues, increase Boat Scale to +2.

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST
The Riptide InstinctTM QUESTTM gives you push-button command from anywhere on the boat. Stow, deploy or trim the motor up and down by using the buttons on your Advanced GPS Navigation Wireless Remote, Foot Pedal, One-Boat Network app, or a connected Humminbird® fish finder. It’s instant. Effortless. And it makes Riptide Instinct QUEST the easiest-to-use motor on the water.
Use the following procedures to stow and deploy the motor. If the motor stalls when attempting to stow, the motor may be encountering an error. Check for obstructions or low motor batteries. If the batteries are too low to fully stow the motor, re-engage power, deploy the motor, trim the lower unit to its highest setting, and turn power off until batteries can be recharged. Once batteries are charged, attempt to stow the motor again.
BATTERY MONITORING
Minn Kota understands the importance of maximizing time on the water to gain a competitive edge. Minn Kota QUEST Series trolling motors provide real-time battery and runtime readings of the trolling motor battery system when connected to a compatible Humminbird fish finder. Compatible Humminbird fish finders include HELIX G3N and newer and all SOLIX and APEX models. Answer a few easy questions on the Humminbird to set the battery chemistry and system type, then let the system monitor the batteries connected to the trolling motor while the prop is running. The fish finder will display the remaining battery in 1% increments, giving essential data about the trolling motor battery system, including time remaining and time at empty – all displayed on an intuitive dashboard on the Humminbird fish finder. Please see the Humminbird fish finder Owner’s Manual online at humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com to learn more about Minn Kota Battery Monitoring.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH (TRIM) OF THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST

Once the boat is on the water, it may be necessary to adjust the trim of the Lower Unit up or down to achieve an optimum depth for motor performance. When setting the depth of the motor, be sure the top of the Lower Unit is submerged at least 12″ below the surface of the water to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. It may be necessary to trim the motor up or down, depending on how the boat is responding. Trim up to avoid hitting underwater objects and trim down if the Prop is coming out of the water.

The Prop will temporarily stop while trimming the motor and resume once trimming is stopped. The motor is programmed to operate safely and limit Prop rotation when the Lower Unit is trimmed within certain limits. Trim limits are in place to avoid damage to the unit. A Lower Trim Limit is set approximately 3″ from the bottom of the Control Head to the top of the Trim Housing. An Upper Trim Limit is set 131/2″ from the bottom of the Mount to the center of the Lower Unit. A Prop Lockout Region, defined as 16″ from the bottom of the Mount to the center of the Lower Unit, is used to eliminate the possibility of the motor contacting the boat hull. All functions, except for manual steering and recording an iTrack, are canceled upon trimming into this region.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
· After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater. · The composite shaft requires periodic cleaning and lubrication for proper retraction and deployment. A coating of an aqueous-based
silicone spray will improve operation. · The Prop must be inspected and cleaned of weeds and fishing line after every use. Fishing line and weeds can get behind the Prop,
damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor. · The Prop is designed to provide weed-free operation with very high efficiency. To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of
the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smoothness by sanding with fine sandpaper. · Verify that the Prop Nut is secure each time the motor is used. · To prevent accidental damage during transportation or storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is off the water. For
prolonged storage, lightly coat all metal parts with an aqueous-based silicone spray. · When using lithium batteries, it is best to charge them right before using them. Storing lithium batteries in a fully charged state for long
periods of time may cause damage to the batteries. Check with the battery manufacturer for specifics on the battery. · For maximum battery life of all other batteries except lithium, recharge the battery(s) as soon as possible after use. For maximum
motor performance, restore the battery to full charge prior to use. Check with the battery manufacturer for specifics on the battery. · Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or emery cloth. · Stow the motor after each use to allow water to drain from the Steering Housing. Water that sits in the steering housing when the motor
is not in use may cause damage. · When the motor is deployed, periodically check that the area between the Mount and Steering Housing is clean and free of debris. The
Mount contains a Stow Pad that contacts the Steering Housing when stowed. If debris such as dirt, gravel, weeds, or fishing line enters this space, it may create an obstruction on the Stow Pad and prevent a secure stow. Periodically clean this space to ensure a secure stow. · Periodically check the motor for loose hardware and damaged components.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Motor fails to run or lacks power: · Check the state of the batteries and replace if necessary. Low battery voltage will cause an error. · Check battery connections for proper polarity. · Make sure the battery is charged. · Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion-free. Use fine sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals. · Check circuit protection devices. · Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time: · Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge, or replace.
3. You experience Prop vibration during normal operation: · Remove and rotate the Prop 180°. See removal instructions in the “Prop Replacement” section. Replace Prop if worn.
4. Experiencing interference with your fish finder: · You may, in some applications, experience interference in your fish finder display. We recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine battery system for your trolling motor. If problems still persist, call our service department at 1-800-227-6433.

62 | minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com

TROUBLESHOOTING
5. Motor contacts an object while trimming, causing an audible tone: · Reverse the direction of trimming to clear motor from obstruction.
6. Motor contacts an object while stowing, causing an audible tone: · Reverse the current cycle to clear the motor from the obstruction. Reverse the stow/deploy action with the wireless remote or One-Boat Network app.
7. Motor fails to trim: · Check main lift-belt tension per the “Motor Adjustments” section. · Conduct a Trim Reset procdure using the Indicator Panel at the base of the mount. a. To conduct a Trim Reset, press the Power button on the Indicator Panel three times consecutively within a two-second period. b. The blue System Status LED and orange Stowed LED will flash continuously while the Riptide Instinct QUEST goes through an automated sequence. c. The motor will rotate into the Stow Orientation position. d. The motor will trim up to the Mount and then trim down approximately six inches. e. The flashing blue orange Stowed LED will turn off, and the flashing blue System Status LED will become solid blue.
WARNING
During the Trim Reset procedure, the motor will go into an automated sequence. Keep fingers clear of all hinges, pivot points and all moving parts. Ensure that the motor or parts of the motor do not contact the boat, trailer, persons, or any other obstruction.
8. Motor fails to stow or deploy: · Check for obstructions preventing the motor from deploying or stowing. · Check charge state of trolling motor batteries. If trolling motor battery icon on remote is flashing, battery charge is too low for operation. · If unable to stow by any other method, see the “Emergency Stow Procedures” section for details on manually stowing the motor.
9. Prop will not turn on: · Ensure batteries are sufficiently charged. · For safety reasons, there is a Prop Lockout Region (approx. 16″ from bottom of Mount to center of Lower Unit). Ensure that the Lower Unit is not in this region.
10. Experiencing flashing red System Status LED on the Indicator Panel: SYSTEM STATUS · The trolling motor is communicating that there is an error. Check the Wireless Remote Diagnostic menu for an error code, then refer to the Wireless Remote owner’s manual for information on error codes and solutions. Correct the error and cycle power to the trolling motor. If the LED continues to flash red, please contact the Minn Kota service department.
