Minn Kota Ulterra 112/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot Link & Bluetooth- 36V-112lb-72" — Product description

Imagine gliding across the water, effortlessly holding position over a school of bass while your eyes stay locked on the graph screen. The Minn Kota Ulterra 112 with i-Pilot Link and built-in MEGA Down Imaging turns that vision into reality for serious freshwater anglers chasing trophy fish in bigger bays or open lakes. This bow-mount powerhouse delivers 112 pounds of thrust on a 36-volt system, paired with a 72-inch shaft that reaches deep for boats handling choppy conditions or deeper drafts. It's not just a motor—it's your on-water co-pilot, blending cutting-edge GPS navigation, crystal-clear sonar, and hands-free convenience to keep you fishing longer and smarter.

Revolutionary Auto Stow, Deploy, and Trim

Wave goodbye to wrestling with heavy gear at the dock or mid-lake. With Ulterra's Auto Stow/Deploy, a single button press on the foot pedal, remote, or compatible Humminbird unit seamlessly raises or lowers the motor. Power Trim lets you fine-tune the shaft angle on the fly, adapting to waves, wind, or depth changes without leaning over the bow. Anglers report saving precious minutes each trip, turning potential frustration into more time casting lures into strike zones.

Master Your Boat's Position with i-Pilot Link

i-Pilot Link integrates your trolling motor directly with Humminbird fish finders via Ethernet, unlocking pro-level control. Record exact paths back to hot spots, follow contour lines at precise depths, or engage Spot-Lock with Jog—GPS accuracy holds you within feet of structure, and a quick jog shifts five feet any direction without resetting. AutoPilot maintains headings against current and wind, perfect for drifting weed edges or parallel structure runs. Bluetooth connectivity pairs with the mobile app for speed tweaks, steering, and software updates straight from your phone, even when the remote's stowed.

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging for Unmatched Clarity

Forget exposed transducers dangling off the transom. This Ulterra packs a MEGA Down Imaging transducer right into the lower unit, channeling wiring cleanly through the shaft for a streamlined setup protected from rocks and spray. Humminbird's MEGA frequencies reveal fish, bait schools, and bottom details in hyper-realistic views directly beneath your boat—think individual walleye hugging cribs or subtle rock piles hiding crappies. It doubles as CHIRP sonar for broad-coverage scanning, cutting through clutter for reliable arcs on everything from suspended stripers to bottom-hugging perch. No more guessing; see the fish before they see your bait.

Proven Power and Efficiency for All-Day Runs

Variable speed control forward and reverse, powered by Digital Maximizer, squeezes up to five times more runtime from your batteries by delivering only the juice you need—no wasteful spikes. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through thick vegetation without stalling, its swept-back blades shedding milfoil and hydrilla effortlessly. An integrated battery meter on the remote keeps you informed, preventing surprise power-downs during a bite. The indestructible composite shaft flexes under impacts but bounces back, backed by a lifetime guarantee that speaks to Minn Kota's build quality trusted by tournament pros.

Heel-Toe Foot Pedal for Intuitive Control

The included 18-foot corded heel-toe pedal feels natural, like an extension of your boot. Rock your heel for speed, toe for steering, with buttons for stow, trim, and Spot-Lock activation. It's rugged for rough-water days, giving precise command when hands-free remotes aren't enough—like maneuvering tight to docks or fighting wind in skinny water.

Setup and Maintenance Made Simple

Mounting to the bow is straightforward with included hardware, fitting most flat decks—double-check your boat's 20- to 26-foot range for optimal performance. Pair batteries in a 36-volt series for balanced power; deep-cycle groups deliver best results. Routine checks? Rinse after saltwater exposure (though optimized for fresh), inspect prop for nicks, and update firmware via app for peak GPS precision. Anglers love how the sealed design shrugs off spray, minimizing corrosion headaches.

Real-World Edge for Tournament and Everyday Anglers

On big-water bass tournaments, Ulterra's combo of thrust, imaging, and GPS locks in advantages—hold over hydrilla points while graphing separated cover. Walleye guides praise Spot-Lock for precise trolling speeds over reefs, and musky hunters dig the power to punch current. It's overkill for small ponds but transforms multi-species outings on reservoirs, letting you focus on patterns, not boat control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boats is the Minn Kota Ulterra 112 best suited for?

Ideal for freshwater boats 20 to 26 feet long, especially those in deeper water or facing wind and current, thanks to its 112-pound thrust and 72-inch shaft.

Does this trolling motor work with Humminbird fish finders?

Yes, i-Pilot Link connects via Ethernet to compatible Humminbird units, enabling shared control, waypoint syncing, and enhanced sonar integration.

How does Spot-Lock with Jog function?

Spot-Lock uses GPS to anchor your position automatically. Jog lets you nudge the hold spot up to five feet in any direction using the remote or pedal, keeping you on fish without manual adjustments.

What batteries power this 36-volt motor?

Three 12-volt deep-cycle batteries wired in series provide reliable 36-volt power. Marine or trolling-specific batteries with high amp-hour ratings extend runtime.

Is the built-in sonar compatible with other brands?

The MEGA Down Imaging transducer outputs standard signals viewable on Humminbird units. Check your fish finder's specs for full MEGA compatibility.

Can I control the motor from my smartphone?

Bluetooth pairs with the Minn Kota app on Apple or Android devices for speed, steering, Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, and firmware updates.

What's the warranty on the composite shaft?

The indestructible composite shaft carries a lifetime guarantee, with the motor covered by a two-year limited warranty.

Only Ulterra (R) features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, as well as your choice of i-Pilot (R) or i-Pilot Link ™, and a multi-function foot pedal. You can stow, deploy and trim Ulterra from the remote or the foot pedal, meaning you never have to touch your motor again - unless you want to high-five it.

Now with Built In MEGA-DI:

You can’t mark fish if you can’t see fish. And the best view of what’s below comes from Humminbird’s  MEGA Imaging™. So get a Humminbird’s eye view with a MEGA DI transducer built right into the  lower unit of our most powerful, trusted motors.

No cluttered wires, no clamps and a transducer that’s protected from the elements. Just plug your fish finder into your motor to see what’s down there. Then go catch it. 

No External Transducer - Messy wiring on an externally mounted transducer doesn’t just look bad: the transducer and wires are more susceptible to damage. With Built-In MEGA DI, the transducer is housed in the indestructible lower unit and all wiring runs through the shaft, for a clean, uncluttered look that’s protected from the elements.

Humminbird MEGA Imaging opened the eyes of anglers everywhere by taking fish finding into the megahertz frequency for the first time. Now your Minn Kota® motor can deliver crystal clear MEGA Down Imaging of what’s directly below the bow, just the way it was meant to be seen. 

In addition to MEGA Down Imaging, the Built-In MEGA DI transducer will also provide CHIRP Digital Sonar, for precise, crystal-clear returns of fish, structure and the bottom at all water levels. Sweeping multiple frequencies across a broad spectrum, this powerful tool eliminates noise for precisely defined targets.
