Minn Kota Ultrex 80 Trolling Motor w/Micro Remote - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 24V - 80LB - 52"

Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, anchoring precisely on your honey hole without dropping a single weight, and scanning the depths for structure and fish activity—all from one powerhouse unit. The Minn Kota Ultrex 80 redefines bow-mount trolling motors for serious freshwater anglers who demand precision, power, and reliability in every outing. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow coves or drifting deep edges, this 80-pound thrust, 52-inch shaft motor with 24V power delivers unmatched performance that keeps you focused on the bite, not the boat.

Effortless Steering That Feels Natural

Power Steering transforms how you handle your boat. The responsive heel-toe foot pedal offers the smoothest cable-steer operation, mimicking the feel of a tiller outboard. No more fighting torque or readjusting after every turn—Steering Lock holds your heading steady when you lift your foot. Anglers report all-day comfort on long tournaments, reducing fatigue so you can stay sharp from dawn till dusk.

GPS Precision: Spot-Lock and Beyond

Spot-Lock acts like an electronic anchor, using GPS to hold your position within inches, even in wind or current. Add Jog functionality with the included heading sensor, and you can nudge your spot 5 feet in any direction without resetting. The Advanced GPS system integrates seamlessly with Humminbird fish finders via One-Boat Network, letting you store waypoints, follow contours, or autopilot to saved locations. It's a game-changer for pattern fishing or multi-rod setups.

Integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

Everything's hidden in the shaft—no dangling transducers or exposed cables. This sonar sweeps wide frequencies for crystal-clear images of fish arches, bottom hardness, and cover. Crisp 2D sonar reveals bait schools and ledges, while CHIRP detail helps separate targets from clutter. Pair it with your Humminbird for a clutter-free console, and you'll spot fish holding tight to brush or submerged timber faster than ever.

Built Tough for Real-World Fishing

The indestructible composite shaft flexes under impacts but won't break—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Lift-Assist makes stowing and deploying a breeze, halving the effort with its gas-charged spring. Digital Maximizer squeezes up to 5x more runtime from your batteries by optimizing power output at variable speeds. The included micro remote and mobile app put control in your pocket, perfect for quick adjustments from the deck.

Maximize Your Time on the Water

• Battery Life Hack: Run at 30-50% speed for scouting; Digital Maximizer conserves amps for high-thrust bursts when needed.
• Windy Days Pro Tip: Use Spot-Lock Jog to reposition over schools without drifting off structure.
• Tournament Edge: Record paths with GPS to replay proven drifts, saving hours of trial and error.
• Maintenance Made Simple: Rinse with freshwater after brackish trips; inspect prop for weeds to keep thrust optimal.

Fishermen love how the Weedless Wedge 2 prop sheds vegetation, powering through lily pads and hydrilla without fouling. Mono-arm mount provides rock-solid stability on bass boats or walleye rigs up to 28 feet.
