Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-60"
Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-60" — Product description
Imagine gliding across open saltwater without the hassle of manually wrestling your trolling motor into position. The Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra steps in as your ultimate fishing companion, blending cutting-edge automation with raw power to keep you locked on fish longer. With 112 pounds of thrust and a robust 60-inch shaft, this bow-mount beast handles big bays, coastal inlets, and rough conditions where precision matters most.
Seamless Control That Puts You in Command
Picture this: you're mid-fight with a trophy redfish, waves kicking up, and you need to adjust depth or direction instantly. No leaning over or fumbling with pedals. This motor's electric steering and i-Pilot system with Bluetooth connectivity let you command everything from a wireless remote or your smartphone app. Variable speeds in forward and reverse give you feather-light control for finesse presentations or brute force to punch through wind and current.
Automation Features That Save Time and Energy
- Auto Stow/Deploy: One button press, and the motor lifts itself in or out of the water—perfect for quick transitions between spots or stowing at day's end without strain.
- Power Trim: Fine-tune the running angle on the fly to match water depth or choppy seas, keeping your prop submerged and efficient.
- Spot-Lock with Jog: GPS anchors you precisely over structure or bait schools. Jog function lets you nudge position by feet without resetting, ideal for drifting edges.
- AutoPilot: Set a heading, and it holds course against crosswinds or tides, freeing you to focus on rods and reels.
Engineered for Saltwater Dominance
Salt spray and corrosion are no match here. Advanced multi-layer protection coats the lower unit, while fully sealed electronics shrug off moisture. The sacrificial anode draws away galvanic action, preserving components season after season. Pair that with an indestructible composite shaft—flexible yet unbreakable—and you've got gear built to thrive in harsh marine environments, from flats to nearshore reefs.
Power Efficiency for All-Day Adventures
- Digital Maximizer: Smart power management stretches a single 36-volt battery charge up to five times longer by delivering only the juice you need, not wasting it on full throttle when low speed suffices.
- Integrated Battery Meter: Real-time voltage readout on the remote keeps you informed, preventing surprise cutouts far from the ramp.
- Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Swept-back blades slice through grass, hydrilla, or kelp without clogging, maintaining thrust where others bog down.
Bluetooth and i-Pilot: Tech That Feels Intuitive
Sync with your phone for app-based steering, speed tweaks, and software updates—no cables, no fuss. The i-Pilot's large LCD remote is rugged and sunlight-readable, with intuitive menus for recording routes or replaying successful drifts. It's like having a virtual deckhand who never tires, especially handy for solo anglers chasing pelagics or bottom dwellers.
Anglers rave about how this setup transforms fishing efficiency. Tournament pros use Spot-Lock to hover over honey holes while working multiple lines; weekend warriors appreciate the hands-free operation during family outings. Cool-running motor stays whisper-quiet, too, so spooked fish stay put.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Auto Stow/Deploy feature so useful on this trolling motor?
Auto Stow/Deploy automates lifting the motor in and out of the water with a single button press from the remote or app, saving physical effort and time—especially valuable in rough conditions or when switching spots frequently.
Is this trolling motor designed specifically for saltwater use?
Yes, it features advanced corrosion protection, sealed electronics, and a sacrificial anode to withstand saltwater exposure, making it ideal for coastal and offshore fishing.
How does i-Pilot with Bluetooth enhance the fishing experience?
i-Pilot offers GPS features like Spot-Lock and AutoPilot for precise positioning, plus Bluetooth app control for steering, speed, and updates from your phone—keeping you hands-free and on the fish.
What kind of boats is the 60-inch shaft best suited for?
The 60-inch shaft works great on larger bay boats, center consoles, or offshore vessels with higher freeboards, providing ample depth for the prop in choppy water while maintaining control.
Does the Digital Maximizer really extend battery life?
Absolutely—by intelligently varying power output to match your speed needs, it can provide up to five times longer runtime on the same 36-volt battery charge compared to traditional motors.
How does the Weedless Wedge 2 prop perform in vegetation?
Its swept-back, flared blades push weeds aside rather than chopping them, reducing drag and battery drain while powering through thick grass or algae without stalling.
What's the benefit of the composite shaft?
The indestructible composite shaft flexes on impact to absorb shocks from logs or rocks, resists corrosion, and comes with a lifetime guarantee for unmatched durability.

Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-60"
TELL YOUR MOTOR TO GO STOW & DEPLOY ITSELF.
Stow, deploy, trim and operate your motor from anywhere on the boat. It's not magic, but it's close. Riptide Ulterra features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, and comes with i-Pilot. Fish from anywhere. Dominate everywhere.
Auto Stow/Deploy
Nothing makes fishing easier than Riptide Ulterra. Auto Stow/Deploy lets you get your motor in and out of the water using the included i-Pilot remote.
Power Trim
Once your motor's in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using your remote. Ulterra handles the busy work, so you can focus on fishing.
Integrated Battery Meter
In addition to showing the remote battery life, your i-Pilot remote will also show you the state of your motor's batteries, so you'll never have to guess how much longer you have on the water.
Digital Maximzer™
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.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
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.
Saltwater Advantage
Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating & a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected.
Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out.
Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced & a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesn't have to.
2-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.
