Minn Kota Ultrex 112/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 36V-112lbs-52"
Minn Kota Ultrex 112/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 36V-112lbs-52" — Product description
Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, anchoring precisely on that honey hole without lifting a finger, and letting advanced GPS handle the hard work while you focus on reeling in the big ones. The Minn Kota Ultrex 112 with i-Pilot and Bluetooth takes trolling to a new level, blending intuitive power steering with cutting-edge automation that's designed for serious anglers who demand precision and reliability on every trip.
Effortless Power Steering and Responsive Control
What sets this trolling motor apart is its innovative power steering system paired with a heel-toe foot pedal that's incredibly comfortable for long days on the water. Unlike traditional cable-steer motors that fight you every turn, the Ultrex delivers smooth, instant responsiveness. Remove your foot from the pedal, and thanks to the steering lock feature, the motor head stays exactly where you pointed it—no drifting back or unwanted readjustments. This means less fatigue and more focus on spotting fish.
Anglers often rave about how this setup feels natural, almost like an extension of your boat. Whether you're maneuvering through tight weed beds or making subtle adjustments in current, the cable and electric steer combo provides variable speeds in both forward and reverse, giving you pinpoint control at 112 pounds of thrust.
GPS-Powered Fishing Revolution with i-Pilot and Spot-Lock
At the heart of the Ultrex is the i-Pilot GPS system, now enhanced with Bluetooth connectivity for seamless smartphone integration. Set a Spot-Lock, and the motor uses GPS to hold your position automatically, even against wind or waves—accurate to within feet. The jog function lets you nudge your anchor point up to five feet in any direction from the remote or app, perfect for dialing in on schooling fish.
AutoPilot takes it further by locking onto a heading and maintaining it autonomously, correcting for drifts. Record custom paths for repeating productive routes, like along a drop-off or through a river channel. With the mobile app, you can tweak settings, check battery levels, and update software right from your phone, making it a game-changer for solo anglers or tournament pros.
Integrated Sonar and Battery-Smart Tech
Universal Sonar 2 runs cleanly through the shaft, keeping transducers protected and wiring hidden for a sleek setup. Pair it with your favorite fish finder for real-time down and side imaging without cluttering your deck. The Digital Maximizer technology optimizes power draw, squeezing up to five times more runtime from your 36V batteries by only using what you need—crucial for all-day sessions without recharging worries.
An integrated battery meter on the remote keeps you informed, so you're never caught off guard. The 52-amp draw at max thrust handles larger boats effortlessly, while the indestructible composite shaft flexes on impacts from logs or rocks and comes with a lifetime guarantee against breaks or corrosion.
Built Tough for Real-World Fishing
The bow-mount design with patented Lift-Assist makes stowing and deploying feel light—half the effort of standard motors, thanks to the nitrogen gas-charged spring. A mono-arm bracket and counter-tension stabilizer eliminate play and noise, ensuring quiet operation that won't spook fish. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop powers through vegetation without clogging, ideal for freshwater lakes choked with milfoil or hydrilla.
Cool-running motors with oversized windings mean longer life and sustained performance, even in hot summer bites. This 52-inch shaft suits boats with higher freeboards, providing the reach needed for optimal prop depth.
Practical Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Ultrex
- Battery Setup: Use deep-cycle marine batteries in a 36V configuration (three 12V in series). Monitor with the built-in meter and charge fully between trips to maximize Digital Maximizer efficiency.
- Maintenance: Rinse with freshwater after brackish use, inspect the prop for nicks, and check shaft for flex tests annually. The composite material shrugs off most abuse, but gentle care extends prop life.
- Fishing Scenarios: Excel in bass tournaments for Spot-Lock precision, walleye drifting with AutoPilot, or musky trolling paths you replay daily.
- Customization: Sync with Humminbird units for deeper integration, or use the app for quick Spot-Lock activation without reaching for the remote.

The solid, one-piece construction of Ultrex's Mono-Arm bracket gives it strength that's unmatched by any other, for less wear, longer life and quieter operation.
Counter-Tension Stabilizer

Digital Maximizer
Motors with Digital Maximizer provide up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.

Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life.
Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.

The Ultrex traction motor combines Minn Kota's most sensitive and intuitive steering with GPS-driven autopilot control. It has a new generation of power steering pedal designed for all-day comfort and precise control. Gently step on the "lock point" button of the foot pedal to stay in the fishing area without touching the trolling motor. When your feet are removed from Ultrex's pedals, the motor head stays pointing in the direction you are away-no recoil or readjustment. The i-Pilot Link system uses GPS to lock the fishing point through Spot-Lock, record the path and command speed. Through the i-Pilot Link system, you can control the motorized hummingbird fish finder (sold separately) from the touch screen remote control or the virtual remote control. The built-in Universal Sonar 2 has the best sonar performance and can help you find fish, keep the sensors and wires completely hidden and protected, and make all components run through the towed motor shaft with shielded connectors. The Minn Kota Ultrex has a shaft length of 52 inches and a thrust of 112 pounds (36 volts). It includes a multifunctional foot pedal, heading sensor, mounting hardware and cables, and an i-Pilot GPS system.
