Minn Kota Ultrex 112/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 36V-112lb-45" — Product description
Transform Your Fishing Game with Unmatched Precision and Power
Imagine gliding silently across the water, locking onto that prime spot where the big ones hide, without ever touching the pedal again. The Minn Kota Ultrex 112 delivers that reality for serious anglers chasing bass, walleye, or panfish in freshwater lakes and rivers. With its blistering 112 pounds of thrust and a rugged 45-inch shaft, this bow-mount beast handles larger boats up to 28 feet with ease, powering through wind, current, and weeds like they're not even there.
What sets it apart? It's not just raw power—it's the seamless blend of intuitive controls and smart GPS tech that lets you focus on the fight, not the boat. Anglers rave about how it cuts hours off setup time and multiplies productive fishing windows, turning good days into epic ones.
Power Steering: Effortless Control for All-Day Comfort
Feel the difference the moment you step on the heel-toe foot pedal. Unlike traditional cable-steer motors that fight back after long sessions, Ultrex's Power Steering slashes effort by up to 50%, reducing foot fatigue on marathon days. The innovative Steering Lock keeps the motor head exactly where you point it—no drifting or reset needed. Pair that with the responsive cable design, and you've got steering so smooth it feels like an extension of your instincts.
Pro tip: In choppy waters, this setup shines, maintaining heading without constant corrections, saving battery and your sanity.
i-Pilot GPS: Your On-Water Autopilot and Anchor
Loaded with i-Pilot and Bluetooth connectivity, this motor redefines boat control. Set Spot-Lock to hover over structure with GPS accuracy better than most electronic anchors—holding within a few feet even against 10-15 mph winds or strong currents. Jog function lets you nudge five feet in any direction from the remote or app.
Record custom paths for repeating runs along weedlines or drop-offs. AutoPilot points the bow and corrects for drift automatically. Bluetooth pairs with your smartphone for quick tweaks to speed, steering, or software updates—no fumbling with wires. Integrated battery meter keeps you informed, preventing surprise cutouts mid-bite.
Real-world edge: Pair it with compatible fish finders via Universal Sonar 2 for clean, concealed wiring that pipes live sonar data without cluttering your deck.
Built Tough for Seasons of Hard Use
Ultrex's Mono-Arm bracket and Counter-Tension Stabilizer eliminate flex and noise, even after thousands of cycles. Lift-Assist makes stowing lighter than lifting a cooler—thanks to the gas-charged spring. The indestructible composite shaft laughs off rocks and stumps, backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Digital Maximizer tech squeezes up to 5x more runtime from your 36V batteries by matching power draw to your speed. Weedless Wedge 2 prop powers through thick vegetation without bogging down, keeping you moving when others stall.
Cool, quiet operation means less spooking fish and more hookups. Extra-large windings shed heat fast, extending motor life in hot tournaments or extended drifts.

Fishing Tips to Maximize Performance
Charge batteries fully before trips and use Digital Maximizer's variable speeds for trolling at 1-2 mph—ideal for crankbaits or live bait rigs. In weeds, bump to medium thrust to shed debris. Regularly rinse the shaft after salty exposure (though optimized for freshwater), and check prop for dings. App updates keep i-Pilot features cutting-edge, unlocking new navigation tricks seasonally.

The Minn Kota Ultrex traction motor is a hybrid car that combines the body of Fortrex with the brain of i-Pilot. It is equipped with Spot-Lock electronic GPS anchoring equipment and so on. 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 lock allows you to step on the pedal while the motor head is still pointing in the desired direction. It also has a reshaped point lock function, which is a very precise electronic GPS anchor that can fix you on a point with unparalleled precision. The lifting assist device that comes with the motor cuts the stowed weight by half and unfolds it in half, while the single-arm device provides extremely high strength, thereby reducing wear and tear, extending service life and reducing 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.
