Minn Kota Ulterra 80 Trolling Motor w/iPilot & Bluetooth - 24V-80lb-60" — Product description
Imagine heading out on the water, casting lines without ever bending down to wrestle with your trolling motor. The Minn Kota Ulterra 80 changes the game for serious anglers who demand effortless control and pinpoint precision. This bow-mount powerhouse delivers 80 pounds of thrust on a 24-volt system with a robust 60-inch shaft, perfect for larger freshwater boats chasing bass, walleye, or musky in weeds, currents, or choppy conditions. What sets it apart? Hands-free automation that lets you focus on the fish, not the gear.
Seamless Auto Stow and Deploy for Effortless Launches
Launch and retrieve have never been simpler. With Auto Stow/Deploy, a single button press on the i-Pilot remote, foot pedal, or compatible Humminbird fish finder stows or deploys the motor automatically. No more heavy lifting or awkward maneuvers at the dock—especially welcome after a long day when fatigue sets in. Pair it with Power Trim to fine-tune depth on the fly, adapting to deeper channels or shallow flats without touching the shaft. Anglers report saving precious minutes each trip, keeping momentum on prime fishing windows.
i-Pilot GPS: Your Boat's Brain for Spot-On Fishing
At the heart is the redesigned i-Pilot system with Bluetooth connectivity. Take command via the intuitive remote's larger LCD screen or pair it to your smartphone app for seamless updates and controls. Set Spot-Locks to hover over honey holes with GPS accuracy better than traditional anchors—jog five feet any direction if fish slide. Record custom paths for replaying hot runs, engage AutoPilot to hold headings against wind and waves, or dial exact speeds for trolling lures perfectly. It's like having a first mate who never tires, revolutionizing how you position for casts or drifts.
Intuitive Foot Pedal and Remote Combo
The heel-toe electric foot pedal extends 18 feet for flexible cockpit placement, handling stow, deploy, trim, Spot-Lock activation, speed, and steering. Meanwhile, the wireless i-Pilot remote keeps essentials at your fingertips, including a real-time battery meter that displays your trolling batteries' charge level. No more guessing—plan your day confidently, knowing exactly when to head back.
Power Efficiency and Durability Built to Last
Digital Maximizer technology squeezes up to five times more runtime from your batteries by optimizing power draw to match your speed. Variable speed control means precise lure presentation without waste. The Weedless Wedge 2 propeller (MKP-33) slices through thick vegetation with swept-back blades, avoiding clogs that drain juice. Backed by an indestructible composite shaft—guaranteed for life—plus cool-running, whisper-quiet operation from oversized windings and low-friction bearings. It's engineered for seasons of abuse in freshwater battlegrounds.
Integrated Universal Sonar 2 for Hidden Wiring
Clean installs are key. Universal Sonar 2 routes your transducer through the shaft, shielding wires and connectors for a sleek, protected setup. Compatible with major brands, it delivers reliable bottom contour, structure, and fish arches without cluttering your deck.
