Minn Kota Ultrex 112/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 36V-112lb-52"
Minn Kota Ultrex 112/MDI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth- 36V-112lb-52" — Product description
Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, your boat holding steady over that prime honey hole while you focus on reeling in the next big one. That's the game-changing experience the Minn Kota Ultrex delivers, blending human-like power steering with cutting-edge GPS automation. Designed for serious anglers tackling larger freshwater setups, this 112-pound thrust beast with a 52-inch shaft powers through wind, current, and chop without breaking a sweat. It's not just a trolling motor—it's your unfair advantage on the water.
Power Steering That Feels Natural, Not Robotic
Traditional cable-steer motors demand constant foot pressure, leading to fatigue on long days. The Ultrex flips the script with its innovative power steering foot pedal. Responds instantly to the slightest nudge, mimicking the feel of a tiller outboard. Lift your foot, and the motor head locks in place—no drifting back or unwanted recoil. Anglers report staying comfortable from dawn patrol to dusk, making it ideal for tournament pros or casual weekend warriors chasing bass in weedy shallows or walleye on open lakes.
GPS-Powered Precision: i-Pilot Takes the Wheel
At the heart is the i-Pilot GPS system with Bluetooth connectivity, turning your boat into a self-parking machine. Spot-Lock anchors you within inches of your position, even in swirling currents—perfect for dialing in on schools of crappie or suspended stripers. Need to nudge over 5 feet? Jog function handles it via heading sensor. Record your milk run routes, replay them hands-free, or engage AutoPilot to hold a compass heading against the elements. Pair it with the mobile app for smartphone control, updating software or tweaking settings dockside. It's like having a first mate who never complains.
Crystal-Clear Views Below: Built-In MEGA Down Imaging
Forget wrestling with external transducers that snag lines or dangle precariously. This model integrates Humminbird MEGA Down Imaging directly into the lower unit, routing all wiring cleanly through the shaft. See fish, structure, and bottom detail in stunning megahertz clarity—far sharper than standard sonar. CHIRP digital sonar sweeps broad frequencies for noise-free targets at any depth. Plug straight into your compatible fish finder for a clutter-free deck, protected from spray, rocks, and accidental kicks.
Stowing Made Simple with Lift-Assist
Deploying or stowing a heavy bow-mount motor solo can be a backbreaker. Ultrex's nitrogen gas-charged stainless steel spring halves the effort, letting you flip it up with one hand. Pair that with the indestructible composite shaft—flexible yet unbreakable, backed by a lifetime guarantee—and you've got bombproof durability for rocky shores or trailer mishaps.
Run All Day on Fewer Batteries
Digital Maximizer tech intelligently rations power, squeezing up to five times more runtime from your 36-volt batteries. The integrated battery meter on the remote keeps you informed, preventing surprise dead batteries mid-fight. Variable speeds forward and reverse mean precise control without wasting juice, whether finesse drifting shiners or powering to the next spot.
Built for Bigger Boats and Deeper Challenges
With 112 pounds of thrust, this 52-inch shaft model shines on 20- to 26-foot multi-species rigs or heavy jon boats in depths up to 8 feet. Bow-mount design keeps your deck clear for casting, fighting fish, or rigging. Freshwater tough, it's ready for everything from murky reservoirs to clear northern lakes.
What's Your Edge on the Water?
Anglers upgrading from basic electric-steer units rave about the Ultrex's blend of analog feel and digital smarts. It's not the cheapest setup, but for those prioritizing precision positioning and fish-finding prowess, it pays dividends in bigger limits and fewer headaches. Pair it with live bait or reaction baits, and watch your catch rates climb.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the power steering on the Ultrex differ from other trolling motors?
Unlike rigid cable systems, Ultrex power steering provides smooth, responsive control with instant feedback and steering lock, reducing fatigue during extended use.
What is Spot-Lock and how accurate is it?

Does the built-in MEGA Down Imaging work with all fish finders?
It's optimized for Humminbird units but provides CHIRP sonar compatible with many brands. Check your graph for MEGA Imaging support.
How long does the battery last with Digital Maximizer?
Up to 5x longer than non-Maximizer motors, often a full day on quality deep-cycle batteries at moderate speeds. Monitor via the remote meter.
Is the shaft really indestructible?
Minn Kota's composite shaft flexes under impact but won't snap, backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes, Bluetooth i-Pilot pairs with Apple or Android apps for speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and software updates.
What's included for easy setup?
Motor, i-Pilot remote, heading sensor, stabilizer, hold-down strap, prop, and mounting hardware—ready for your bow mount.

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.
