Minn Kota Ultrex 112/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 36V-112lb-45"
Minn Kota Ultrex 112/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 36V-112lb-45" — Product description
Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, your boat holding steady over that prime fishing spot even as wind and current try to push you off. The Minn Kota Ultrex 112 with built-in MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Bluetooth redefines what a trolling motor can do, blending intuitive power steering with cutting-edge GPS automation. Anglers who demand precision without the hassle swear by its responsive foot pedal that feels like an extension of your instincts, delivering 112 pounds of thrust through a 45-inch shaft perfect for larger freshwater setups.
Experience Power Steering That Anticipates Your Every Move
The standout feature here is the power steering foot pedal, designed for marathon days on the water. Unlike traditional cable-steer motors that fight back or require constant readjustment, this one locks the motor head exactly where you point it—no recoil, no drift. Tap the heel-toe pedal for nuanced speed control in forward or reverse, and feel the instant response that keeps you focused on the fish, not the fight. It's cable and electric steer combined, offering variable speeds that adapt to your style, whether you're finesse fishing weed edges or powering through open water.
GPS-Powered Fishing: Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, and Beyond
i-Pilot with Bluetooth integration takes boat control to autopilot levels—literally. Activate Spot-Lock to anchor electronically with GPS accuracy rivaling a physical anchor, then use Jog to nudge five feet in any direction without resetting. Record your proven paths for replay, set drift alarms, or let AutoPilot steer a straight line, compensating for waves, wind, and current. Pair it with your smartphone app for on-the-fly adjustments, software updates, and battery monitoring right from your pocket. This isn't just navigation; it's fishing freedom that lets you multitask like never before.
Crystal-Clear Views with Built-In MEGA Down Imaging
Forget dangling transducers and tangled wires. The integrated MEGA Down Imaging sonar is tucked securely in the lower unit, delivering Humminbird-quality views of structure, baitfish, and trophy walleye directly below your bow. Crystal-clear megahertz imaging reveals details external units can't match, plus CHIRP sonar for broad-spectrum target separation in varied depths. Everything routes cleanly through the shaft, protected from rocks, snags, and splashes, so you spend less time rigging and more time reeling.
Built Tough for Real-World Abuse
Minn Kota's indestructible composite shaft flexes under impact but never breaks—backed by a lifetime guarantee. The patented Lift-Assist mechanism uses a nitrogen-charged stainless steel spring to make stowing and deploying feel weightless, even on bigger boats. Digital Maximizer tech squeezes up to five times more runtime from your 36-volt batteries by delivering power only where needed, while the integrated meter keeps you informed via the remote. At 52 amps max draw, it's efficient enough for all-day adventures without cutting sessions short.
Seamless Setup and Everyday Wins
Designed for bow-mount convenience on freshwater rigs, this 112-pound thrust beast shines in tournaments or family outings alike. The included heading sensor enhances Spot-Lock precision, and extras like the stabilizer, hold-down strap, and MKP-38 prop ensure rock-solid performance. Anglers report catching more fish in tough conditions thanks to the combo of stealthy operation and pinpoint positioning—think drifting weedlines hands-free or hovering over suspended crappies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the power steering on this Ultrex model different from other trolling motors?
The power steering provides ultra-responsive control with no recoil— the motor head locks in place when you lift your foot, combining cable and electric steer for all-day comfort and precision unmatched in standard models.
How does Spot-Lock with Jog work on the i-Pilot system?
Spot-Lock uses GPS to hold your position automatically, like an electronic anchor. Jog lets you shift that spot up to five feet in any direction via the remote or app, keeping you dialed in on hot bites without manual adjustments.
Is the built-in MEGA Down Imaging compatible with my Humminbird fish finder?
Yes, it plugs directly into compatible Humminbird units for seamless MEGA DI and CHIRP sonar integration, showing high-res images of what's below without extra wiring or mounting hassles.
Can I control this trolling motor from my phone?
Absolutely—Bluetooth connectivity links to the free mobile app for iOS or Android, giving command over speed, steering, Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, and battery status, plus easy firmware updates.
How long will the battery last with Digital Maximizer?
Digital Maximizer optimizes power draw for up to 5x longer runtime on a single charge compared to traditional motors, with the battery meter helping you plan full days based on your 36V setup.
What's the benefit of the Lift-Assist feature?
It halves the effort needed to stow or deploy the motor using a gas-charged spring, making it effortless even after hours of use or in rough conditions on bow mounts.
Is this motor suitable for big boats or heavy use?
With 112 lbs of thrust and a 45-inch shaft, it's ideal for larger freshwater boats, handling wind, current, and loads with the durability of a lifetime-guaranteed composite shaft.

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.
