Minn Kota Ultrex 80/MSI/IP Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot Link & Bluetooth - 24v-80LB - 60" — Product description
Imagine gliding effortlessly across the water, your boat locked precisely on that prime fishing spot while you focus solely on reeling in the big one. The Minn Kota Ultrex 80 MSI/IP trolling motor transforms this vision into reality for serious freshwater anglers. With its powerhouse 80-pound thrust and 60-inch shaft, this bow-mount beast delivers unmatched control through innovative power steering and seamless i-Pilot Link integration. Whether battling wind-swept lakes or navigating tight coves, it combines intuitive handling with cutting-edge GPS and MEGA Side/Down Imaging sonar to elevate your fishing game.
What sets this model apart isn't just the specs—it's the real-world reliability that keeps you fishing longer and smarter. Anglers rave about how the responsive foot pedal feels like an extension of their instincts, while the Bluetooth-enabled app puts command at your fingertips. Dive into why this 24-volt powerhouse deserves a spot on your bow.
Unlock Superior Control with Power Steering and Steering Lock
At the heart of the Ultrex 80 experience is its groundbreaking power steering foot pedal. Unlike traditional cable-steer motors that fight back after every adjustment, this one offers silky-smooth, instant response. Tap the pedal heel-toe style for precise maneuvers, and thanks to the steering lock feature, the motor head stays exactly where you point it—even when your foot lifts off. No more constant recalibrations during long days on the water; just pure, fatigue-free control that lets you cover more ground and react faster to schooling fish.
Pro tip for bass tournaments: Pair this with subtle jog adjustments via Spot-Lock to micro-position over structure without spooking fish.
GPS-Powered Precision: i-Pilot Link and Spot-Lock Mastery
i-Pilot Link takes boat control to pro levels by syncing your trolling motor with compatible Humminbird fish finders. Set waypoints, follow contours, or record custom paths—all from the vibrant touchscreen remote or your fish finder. The star feature? Spot-Lock with Jog. This electronic anchor uses GPS to hold your position within inches, countering wind, current, and waves. Need a tweak? Jog five feet in any direction using the heading sensor for pinpoint accuracy over submerged humps or weed edges.
Bluetooth connectivity means app-based control from your phone, perfect for quick software updates or solo missions. AutoPilot mode steers hands-free along your chosen heading, saving energy for casting.
Crystal-Clear Insights from Built-In MEGA Imaging
Forget cluttered decks and exposed transducers. This Ultrex integrates MEGA Side and Down Imaging directly into the motor housing, delivering jaw-dropping detail up to 125 feet side-to-side and crystal views below. Spot crappie suspended mid-water or bass hugging timber without drilling extra holes. Universal Sonar 2 compatibility keeps wiring hidden and protected, ensuring reliable readings even in rough conditions.
Anglers using this on walleye runs report finding bait balls and structure faster, turning average outings into limit-fillers.
Built Tough for Everyday Adventures
Minn Kota's indestructible composite shaft flexes under pressure but never breaks—backed by a lifetime guarantee. The Lift-Assist mechanism halves deployment effort with its gas-charged spring, making stow-and-go a breeze on smaller boats. Digital Maximizer tech optimizes power draw for up to five times longer battery life, while the integrated meter on the remote keeps you informed. Run variable speeds forward and reverse without draining your 24-volt setup prematurely.
Seamless Setup and Long-Term Care
Mounting this bow-mount motor is straightforward for most setups: Secure the plate to your deck, route cables cleanly, and connect to twin 12-volt deep-cycle batteries in parallel. The included stabilizer and hold-down strap prevent vibrations, ensuring quiet operation. For optimal performance, balance your battery bank and check prop clearance regularly.
Maintenance is minimal—rinse with freshwater after salty trips (though freshwater-optimized), inspect the composite shaft for nicks, and store vertically. The MKP-33 prop handles weeds well, but swap for a weedless option if fishing thick vegetation. With a three-year warranty, you're covered for peace of mind.
Why This 80-lb Thrust Model Shines for Mid-Sized Boats
Ideal for 16- to 21-foot freshwater rigs, the 80-pound thrust punches through current without overpowering smaller hulls. The 60-inch shaft reaches deeper drafts, perfect for jon boats or multispecies crafts. Compared to lesser models, the MSI/IP combo adds sonar smarts and GPS autonomy that pay dividends in productivity.
