Minn Kota Ultrex 80/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 24V-80lb-60"
Minn Kota Ultrex 80/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 24V-80lb-60" — Product description
Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, locking onto your hottest fishing spot without lifting a finger, and peering deeper into the depths than ever before. The Minn Kota Ultrex 80 with built-in MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot takes the frustration out of trolling and turns every outing into a precision strike. This 24-volt powerhouse delivers 80 pounds of thrust through a sturdy 60-inch shaft, designed specifically for freshwater bow mounts where serious anglers demand reliability and innovation.
Effortless Power Steering for All-Day Comfort
Forget the foot fatigue from traditional cable steers. This model's responsive power steering foot pedal mimics the feel of driving a high-end vehicle on the water. Tap the pedal for instant direction changes, and the innovative steering lock holds your heading steady even when you step away. It's like having an extra set of hands, letting you focus on casting and reeling rather than wrestling with the motor. Anglers report covering more ground with less effort, staying sharper as the day wears on.
Spot-Lock with Jog: Your Electronic Anchor Redefined
Drift is the enemy of productivity. Activate Spot-Lock via the i-Pilot remote or Humminbird-compatible fish finder, and GPS precision holds you within inches of your target—no anchors, no drifting. The jog function lets you nudge your position in five-foot increments any direction, adapting to wind shifts or school movements on the fly. Pair it with the heading sensor for unmatched stability, and watch your catch rate climb as you stay glued to structure or bait balls.
Built-In MEGA Down Imaging: See What's Hiding Below
Cluttered decks and exposed transducers? Not here. The integrated MEGA DI sonar is tucked securely in the lower unit, with all wiring routed through the shaft for a clean, protected setup. Humminbird's megahertz technology reveals crystal-clear images of fish, weeds, and bottom contours directly beneath your bow. Combined with CHIRP digital sonar, it cuts through noise for pinpoint accuracy at any depth. No more guessing—dial in on targets and boat right over them.
Smart GPS Features with i-Pilot and Bluetooth Control
i-Pilot brings autopilot navigation to life: point the motor head, hit the button, and it corrects for currents, wind, and waves automatically. Record and replay paths for repeat runs over honey holes. Bluetooth connectivity pairs seamlessly with your smartphone app, giving wireless command of speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and software updates. The large LCD remote and integrated battery meter keep you informed, while Digital Maximizer stretches a single charge up to five times longer by optimizing power draw.
Built Tough for Real-World Fishing
The indestructible composite shaft flexes on impact but never breaks—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Lift-Assist with its nitrogen-charged spring makes stowing and deploying feel weightless, cutting effort in half. Weedless Wedge 2 prop slices through vegetation without bogging down, and cool, quiet operation means less spooked fish. From dawn patrols to tournament chases, this setup thrives in demanding conditions.
Maximize Your Time on the Water
Variable speed forward and reverse, 56-amp efficiency, and universal sonar 2 compatibility mean versatile performance across lakes and rivers. The corded heel-toe pedal includes dedicated buttons for Spot-Lock and AutoPilot, keeping controls at your feet. Included heading sensor, stabilizer, hold-down strap, MKP-33 prop, and mounting hardware get you rigged fast. Elevate your game with a motor that anticipates your needs, delivering quiet power and smart tech where it counts.

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.

The Minn Kota ultrex traction motor is a hybrid device that combines the body of Fortress with the brain of I-pilot, and is equipped with a Spot-Lock electronic GPS anchoring device and more other functions. The motor has a power steering function, which can provide the familiar heel/toe steering function, which can more easily reduce workload and reduce foot fatigue, thereby providing an extremely smooth and sensitive driving experience. The steering wheel lock allows you to step on the pedals while the motor head is still pointing in the desired direction. It also has a reshaped point lock function, which is an extremely accurate electronic GPS anchor that can fix you on a point with unparalleled precision. The lifting aid that comes with the motor cuts the stowed weight in half and unfolds in half, while the single-arm installation provides extremely high strength, which reduces wear and tear, extends service life and reduces operating noise. The composite shaft will bend on impact, so it will not break, kink or corrode, and the digital maximizer only consumes the power you need, subtly saving energy to provide longer running time.
