Minn Kota Ulterra 112/MSI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot Link & Bluetooth - 36v-112LB - 72"
Minn Kota Ulterra 112/MSI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot Link & Bluetooth - 36v-112LB - 72" — Product description
Imagine gliding across a misty lake at dawn, your boat holding steady over a school of walleye without lifting a finger. That's the effortless power of the Minn Kota Ulterra 112 trolling motor with i-Pilot Link and Bluetooth. Designed for serious freshwater anglers tackling big waters and heavy loads, this 36-volt beast delivers 112 pounds of thrust through a robust 72-inch shaft. It's not just a motor—it's your on-water autopilot, freeing you to focus on the fight rather than the fight to stay on station.
What sets this Ulterra apart is its seamless integration of cutting-edge tech and rugged build quality. Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim mean one-touch operation from the remote, foot pedal, or compatible fish finder—no more wrestling with the bow in choppy conditions. Pair that with Built-In MEGA Side and Down Imaging sonar, and you're scanning structure with crystal-clear detail right from the motor, keeping wiring tidy and protected.
Key Features That Redefine Trolling
Smart Navigation with i-Pilot Link
Link your Humminbird fish finder to the i-Pilot Link system for total command. Set Spot-Lock to anchor GPS-precisely, then Jog five feet any direction if the bite shifts. Record trails to replay hot runs, follow contours effortlessly, or engage AutoPilot to maintain headings against wind and current. Bluetooth connectivity lets you control it all via a mobile app on your phone—speed tweaks, software updates, and battery checks at a glance.
Superior Sonar Integration
The built-in MEGA Down and Side Imaging transducer paints vivid pictures of the bottom and nearby cover. No external mounts cluttering your hull; everything routes cleanly through the shaft with shielded connections for interference-free reads. Spot suspended crappie or bottom-hugging bass like never before.
Heel-Toe Precision and Convenience
The electric heel-toe foot pedal offers intuitive control with an 18-foot cord. Tap for Spot-Lock, heel for reverse, toe for forward—plus stow, deploy, and trim functions. It's responsive even in rough water, giving you pro-level steering without constant adjustments.
Endurance Engineering
- Digital Maximizer: Sips power for up to 5x longer runtime, dialing exact speed to match conditions and stretch every charge.
- Integrated Battery Meter: Real-time voltage on the remote keeps you informed, avoiding dead-battery surprises mid-day.
- Weedless Wedge 2 Prop: Swept-back blades slice through vegetation without stalling, perfect for weedy bays or lily pads.
- Composite Shaft: Flexes under extreme stress but rebounds unbreakable—backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Why Anglers Swear by the Ulterra 112
For tournament pros or weekend warriors on larger bass boats and multi-species rigs, this bow-mount electric-steer motor shines. Its variable speeds handle everything from finesse jigging to powering against wind on expansive reservoirs. Users rave about the time saved—no manual lifting means more casts, less hassle. In real-world tests on lakes like Erie or Champlain, it holds position through 2-foot rollers, letting you drift baits precisely or vertical jig without drift.
Maintenance is minimal: freshwater-rated components resist corrosion, and the power trim adapts to load or depth changes instantly. Pair it with deep-cycle batteries, and you're set for 8+ hour days. It's a game-changer for solo anglers too—deploy from the console and fish confidently.
Effortless Setup for Peak Performance
Mounting is straightforward on most bow configurations. Secure the plate, route cables neatly, and connect to three 12-volt batteries in series for 36 volts. Calibrate the heading sensor once, sync with your app or finder, and you're trolling. Pro tip: Position batteries amidships for balance, and use marine-grade wiring to handle the 52-amp draw at full tilt.
