Minn Kota Instinct Quest Install – Senator RH770 (Mayor Island Ready)

Ready for the Mayor Island missions.

We’ve just completed the install of a Minn Kota Instinct Quest 87” trolling motor on this wicked Senator RH770, turning an already capable rig into a serious offshore fishing weapon.

This setup will make holding on the Mayor Island pins an absolute breeze — lock in, drop the gear, and get stuck into the action.
With Spot-Lock precision and plenty of shaft length for offshore conditions, the Instinct Quest is perfectly suited to fishing the Bay of Plenty.

A big shout-out to Steve at Fusion Fabrication for the custom aluminium mount — tidy, strong, and built right for the job.
Quality fabrication makes all the difference when it comes to offshore trolling motor installs, and this mount fits the RH770 perfectly.

Another clean and functional upgrade on a boat built to fish hard here in the Bay.
