Minn Kota Ultrex 80/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 24V-80lb-45" *Remanufactured — Product description
Step up your angling game with the Minn Kota Ultrex 80, a trolling motor that blends effortless control, cutting-edge GPS tech, and rugged reliability. Designed for serious freshwater anglers chasing bass, walleye, or panfish, this 24V, 80lb thrust model with a 45-inch shaft delivers precise positioning and quiet operation. Whether you're working a windy flat or holding steady in current, its intuitive features let you focus on the fish, not the fight against your motor.
Effortless Power Steering for All-Day Comfort
Experience steering that feels natural yet amplified. The heel-toe pedal responds instantly to subtle inputs, slashing fatigue during long sessions. No more wrestling the motor head back into place—Steering Lock keeps it pointed exactly where you want, eliminating recoil and drift. Anglers report cruising miles without sore feet, making it ideal for tournament days or family outings.
GPS Precision That Anchors Your Success
Reinvented Spot-Lock uses advanced GPS to hold your boat within inches of your chosen spot, even in shifting winds or currents up to 30% stronger than before. Pair it with i-Pilot's AutoPilot for hands-free navigation along contours or recorded paths. The Bluetooth-enabled remote syncs seamlessly with your phone app, letting you tweak settings, update firmware, or trigger Spot-Locks from the deck. Universal Sonar 2 integration means cleaner transducer readings without extra clutter.
Sturdy Build for Rough Waters
The mono-arm design flexes under impact but stays rock-solid, backed by an indestructible composite shaft that's lifetime warranted. Counter-Tension Stabilizer eliminates slop in the mount, ensuring whisper-quiet runs that won't spook skittish fish. Lift-Assist makes stowing as simple as popping a tailgate, perfect for solo launches.
Efficiency That Extends Your Day
Digital Maximizer tech optimizes power draw at every speed, squeezing up to 5x more runtime from your batteries. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through milfoil and hydrilla without bogging down, maintaining thrust where others chop and stall. Max amp draw of 56 keeps things cool, quiet, and reliable from dawn patrol to dusk.
Why Anglers Swear by Ultrex on the Water
In real scenarios, this motor shines. Picture flipping jigs around laydowns on a breezy reservoir—the Spot-Lock button freezes you in place, letting you cast confidently. Or drift-sock free on a river run; record the path once, and i-Pilot repeats it flawlessly. Remanufactured units undergo rigorous testing, often performing like new at a fraction of the cost, with a full 1-year warranty for peace of mind. Bass boaters love the 45-inch shaft for higher freeboards, while multi-species hunters appreciate the variable speed control for finesse presentations.
Maintenance Tips for Peak Performance
Keep it humming by rinsing the shaft after salty trips (though optimized for fresh), checking prop nuts pre-launch, and storing with the tension spring engaged. Update i-Pilot via Bluetooth for the latest algorithms that enhance tracking. Pair with deep-cycle batteries rated for 24V to maximize those long days.
