Minn Kota Ultrex 80/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 24V-80lb-45" — Product description
Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, locking onto your hottest fishing spot without lifting a finger, and letting advanced GPS handle the rest. The Minn Kota Ultrex 80 with i-Pilot and Bluetooth redefines bow-mount trolling motors for serious anglers who demand precision and reliability on every outing. This 24-volt powerhouse delivers 80 pounds of thrust through a sturdy 45-inch shaft, blending cable-steer tradition with electric precision for unmatched responsiveness.
Effortless Power Steering for All-Day Comfort
Experience the game-changing feel of Power Steering right at your heel and toe. Unlike traditional pedals that tire you out after hours on the water, this system minimizes effort while maximizing control. Remove your foot, and the Steering Lock keeps the motor head exactly where you want it—no drifting back or unwanted adjustments. It's like having an extension of your instincts, perfect for targeting structure in windy conditions or maneuvering through tight cover.
Spot-Lock and Advanced GPS: Fish Smarter, Not Harder
Spot-Lock with Jog is your electronic anchor, using GPS to hold position with pinpoint accuracy—even against currents or waves. Jog function lets you nudge five feet in any direction from the remote or app. Paired with i-Pilot's AutoPilot, it steers your boat on a chosen heading automatically, freeing you to focus on casting. Bluetooth connectivity means seamless pairing with your smartphone for quick commands, software updates, and battery monitoring via the mobile app. No more guesswork; just automated paths to waypoints and recorded routes for replaying proven patterns.
Universal Sonar 2: Clean Setup, Crystal-Clear Reads
Integrated Universal Sonar 2 runs wiring and transducer cleanly through the shaft, keeping your deck clutter-free and protected. Shielded connectors ensure reliable performance, delivering side and down imaging without extra hassle. Combine this with your existing fish finder for comprehensive underwater intel, spotting schools and bottom details that turn good days into limits.
Built Tough for Real-World Fishing
The patented Lift-Assist halves the effort for stowing and deploying, using a gas-charged spring that feels as light as possible. Mono-arm design and Counter-Tension Stabilizer eliminate slop and noise, while the indestructible composite shaft flexes on impact without breaking. Digital Maximizer stretches battery life up to five times by optimizing power draw, and the integrated meter keeps you informed. Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through vegetation without bogging down, ideal for weedy bays or lily pads.
Why Anglers Choose This Setup
For bass tournaments, walleye runs, or family outings, this freshwater bow-mount shines with variable speeds forward and reverse, 56-amp draw efficiency, and corded heel-toe pedal plus wireless remote. It's not just a motor—it's a fishing partner that adapts to your style, saving time, energy, and frustration. Backed by Minn Kota's reputation for cool, quiet operation and longevity, it handles season after season of hard use.
Simple Setup for Quick Wins
Mounting is straightforward on most bow configurations. Secure the bracket, route cables neatly, connect to dual 12-volt deep-cycle batteries in parallel for 24 volts, and pair the i-Pilot remote. Fine-tune sonar and GPS via the app for immediate results. Regular maintenance like prop checks and freshwater rinses keeps it running flawlessly.

The Minn Kota Ultrex traction motor is a hybrid car that combines the body of Fortrex with the brain of i-Pilot. It is equipped with Spot-Lock electronic GPS anchoring equipment and so on. The motor has a power steering function, which can provide the familiar heel/toe steering function, which can more easily reduce workload and reduce foot fatigue, thereby providing an extremely smooth and sensitive driving experience. The steering wheel lock allows you to step on the pedals while the motor head is still pointing in the desired direction. It also has a reshaped point lock function, which is an extremely accurate electronic GPS anchor that can fix you on a point with unparalleled precision. The lifting aid that comes with the motor cuts the stowed weight in half and unfolds in half, while the single-arm installation provides extremely high strength, which reduces wear and tear, extends service life and reduces operating noise. The composite shaft will bend on impact, so it will not break, kink or corrode, and the digital maximizer only consumes the power you need, subtly saving energy to provide longer running time.
