Riptide Terrova 80 Full Details
Recommended for:
Medium saltwater v-hull, flats, center console, Carolina skiffs, Deep-V and general fishing boats. The 80 lbs thrust motor is recommended for boats with a fully laden weight up to 4,000lbs and length up to 20'. However, fishing conditions, hull design/shape and intended use all have a significant impact on calculating the appropriate amount of thrust for your boat. For more help determining the right thrust for your boat please refer to our thrust guide.
How It's Unique
The Riptide Terrova is a step-up from Minn Kota's entry-level Riptide PowerDrive line of motors. Compared to Riptide PowerDrive, the latest Riptide Terrova is available with a more powerful 36v 112 lbs thrust and shaft lengths up to 87". It's also easier to stow and deploy with a more rugged construction, standard Heading Sensor (enables the popular Jog Feature) and comes standard with the full size Advanced GPS remote. The Riptide PowerDrive is available with either the Micro Remote or with the full size Advanced GPS remote as an option.
The Riptide Terrova comes standard with Advanced GPS technology; the Riptide PowerDrive wireless control with Advanced GPS. For models with Advanced GPS, both are compatible with One Boat Network functionality and integration and compatibility with select Humminbird fishfinders. However, the Riptide Terrova lineup enables simultaneous operation with wireless remote and optional foot pedal. Its unique mount also enables easier one-hand stow and deploy relative to the PowerDrive. For a comparison between the Riptide Terrova and Riptide PowerDrive motors please review our Comparison Guide.
We recommend the Riptide PowerDrive trolling motor for fishermen who are looking for a no frills, value-priced motor with wireless control and Advanced GPS (including Spot Lock). The Riptide PowerDrive is available in 55 lbs and 70 lbs thrust levels and a choice between Micro remote or full size Advanced GPS Remote. If you need a motor with higher thrust levels, longer available shaft lengths, one-hand stow/deploy and more available features the Riptide Terrova is the motor for you.

Mounting Details:
This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware, and requires drilling 4-6 bolts into the hull for installation. Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware. However, if accessing the underside is impossible you can use No Access Bolts to secure the motor from the top. For more information see our compatibility and mounting guides or download this motor's installation instructions and User Manuals.
If you wish to take the motor on and off your boat, you can also opt for a quick release bracket. The Riptide Terrova 80 with 54" and 60" shaft lengths would be compatible with the Minn Kota RTA-17 Quick Release Bracket. Due to the weight and longer shaft length, the 72" model would require the slightly thicker RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket
Mount Dimensions:
13.94" length x 8.52" width
Motor Voltage and Batteries:
The Riptide Terrova 80 is a 24 volt motor and requires two (2), 12-volt marine batteries or (1) 24v LiFePO4 lithium battery (min 50AH rating). For more information on the proper batteries to purchase for your trolling motor, see our Trolling Motor Battery Selection Guide.
Motor Wiring Details:
The Riptide Terrova 80 can be wired directly to the batteries or it can be used in conjunction with a plug and receptacle for a cleaner, more professional installation. If using a quick release bracket, a plug and receptacle like the Minn Kota MKR-28 will allow you to plug and unplug the motor from the batteries for easy removal and re-mounting.
To protect your motor from control board damage installing a 60amp circuit breaker is highly recommended.
Shielded, marine grade wiring should be used to connect the motor to the power source (aka batteries!). To determine the appropriate gauge wiring download this circuit breaker and wiring table.
If using 2 - 12v, lead acid or AGM batteries, they must be wired "in series" to create the proper voltage for this 24v motor. For instructions on how to properly wire 12v batteries in series, take a look at our 24v-36v trolling motor wiring diagram.
Power Lead Length:
Two 5' power leads (red and black) ending in terminal rings (aka lugs). Minn Kota motors do not come from the factory with trolling motor power plugs. A new power plug can be crimped or heat shrunk onto the power leads; make sure to have a matching receptacle installed in the hull. If you are replacing an existing motor that has a plug already installed, you can transfer it to the new motor's power leads.
NOTE: Although most power plugs and receptacles are universally compatible regardless of voltage, make sure that they are rated at 60amps or more. Minn Kota and Marinco offer high-quality, reliable plug and receptacle sets.
Pedal Cord Length:
The Riptide Terrova does not include a foot pedal but a Terrova foot pedal with an with 18' cord can be purchased separately

Amperage Draw:
56 amps at maximum speed
Motor Run Time:
Important Note: Calculating run time is very difficult to due to the many factors involved. As you likely won't be running your trolling motor 100% of the time, the actual amount of on-the-water time will be longer than continuous run times listed below. Trolling motor run time can vary depending on the boat, operating conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated battery. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time.
- 20+ Hours: At slow, trolling speeds that draw 5 amps or less
- 4.8 Hours: Approx. run time with throttle 50% open
- 2.4 Hours: Approx. run time with the motor at full throttle
Stow and Deploy Method:
The Riptide Terrova's manual stow and deploy system is activated by a foot lever and employs weight distribution which works like a pendulum and helps carry the weight of the motor. Simply depress the lever and the motor stows/deploys easily. The "Auto-Park" feature automatically lines up the lower unit with the mounting ramp for easy stowing.
Motor Steering Method:
The motor is steered via the included Advanced GPS remote control or a foot pedal (purchased separately). The Riptide Terrova 80 can also connect (aka network) to compatible Humminbird fishfinders via an ethernet connection. This networking feature is part of Minn Kota's "One Boat Network" and allows you to control your motor directly from the Humminbird.

What fishermen are saying…
i-Pilot is like magic. Like a magician in a black cape standing next to me in my boat sprinkling pixie dust and saying, “Abracadabra! More fish!” Thanks TrollingMotors.net for making this magical purchase so easy and fun. You guys are the best.
Phil in Arcadia, FL
Why buy from Bass Pro or Cabelas when you can buy from these guys? From start to finish this was one of the best, if not the best, online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. The owner answered all my questions, the prices were great, and the motor arrived in two days. Don’t buy anywhere else.

Not only did they have the motor I was looking for, but I also saved a lot of money. Oh, and the motor arrived the next day. Keep up the great work, guys!”
