COMPLETING THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST INSTALLATION
The Riptide Instinct QUEST is an advanced trolling motor. To maximize its performance, mechanical and electrical systems should be
set and calibrated to fit every user's installation. This portion of the installation will cover how to verify power, install the Bow-mount
Stabilizer, and more. The installation will conclude with connecting the Ethernet Cable and setting motor preferences for ease of use.
Minn Kota recommends connecting the trolling motor to the One-Boat Network app to assist in these steps. Find more information in the
One-Boat Network App document included with the trolling motor or the One-Boat Network Owner’s Manual found online at
minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.
Verifying Power
Each time the trolling motor is powered "on," the control board will auto-detect the power supplied from the battery system and adjust
the thrust output based on a 24V or 36V battery system. To verify power to the trolling motor, connect the Riptide Instinct QUEST to
power. At specific points in the installation, power will be disconnected or turned "o" to ensure a safe environment for installation.

Installing the Bow-Mount Stabilizer
Riptide Instinct QUEST motors with a 72", 87”, or 100” shaft length come with an MKA-60 Bow-Mount Stabilizer Kit (Assembly #C
and #D). This accessory stabilizes the shaft and control head when the motor is stowed for transport. Motors with shaft lengths under
72" may purchase the MKA-60 separately as an optional accessory (1862060). For instructions on installing the MKA-60 to the Riptide
Instinct QUEST, refer to the document provided with the Bow-Mount Stabilizer Kit.
NOTICE: In instances where the trolling motor is updating, the System Status LED will flash blue while the update is
performed. Once the update is complete, the system will self-reboot and perform the normal start-up sequence. If a standard
power-up sequence is not experienced, please see the Troubleshooting section of the Riptide Instinct QUEST Owner’s Manual
to identify any errors. To learn more about software updates, please see the Owner’s Manual for the One-Boat Network or
Advanced GPS Navigation Wireless Remote.
