Minn Kota Ultrex 80 Trolling Motor w/Micro Remote - MEGA Down Imaging - 24V - 80LB - 45"

Imagine gliding across the water with effortless control, your boat locked precisely on that prime fishing spot while crystal-clear images reveal fish hiding just below. The Minn Kota Ultrex 80 with Micro Remote and MEGA Down Imaging delivers this seamless experience, blending cutting-edge GPS navigation, responsive steering, and advanced sonar into one powerhouse trolling motor. Designed for serious freshwater anglers who demand precision and reliability, this 45-inch shaft model with 80 pounds of thrust and 24-volt power transforms how you chase bass, walleye, or crappie.

Effortless Power Steering for All-Day Comfort

Experience steering that feels like an extension of your foot. The heel-toe cable foot pedal incorporates power steering technology, providing smooth, instant response without the fatigue of traditional motors. When you lift your foot, the innovative steering lock keeps the motor head exactly where you want it—no drifting back or constant corrections. This means more focus on casting and less on wrestling with the controls, even during long sessions on big lakes.

Anglers praise this feature for windy conditions, where maintaining heading is crucial. Pair it with the included micro remote for quick adjustments from anywhere on the boat, giving you freedom to handle rods or gear without compromise.

GPS-Powered Precision: Spot-Lock and Beyond

At the heart of the Ultrex is its advanced GPS system, compatible with the One-Boat Network for integration with Humminbird fish finders. Activate Spot-Lock to hold your position with GPS accuracy better than most electronic anchors—perfect for hovering over submerged structure without anchor lines or constant throttle tweaks.

• Spot-Lock with Jog: Nudge your position up to five feet in any direction using the heading sensor, ideal for fine-tuning over schools of fish.
• AutoPilot: Follow contour lines or recorded paths hands-free, saving time scouting waypoints.
• One-Boat Network: Sync with your electronics to store spots, navigate automatically, and control speed/steering from the helm.

Real-world tip: Use Jog during live bait fishing to stay perpendicular to current, maximizing hooksets without repositioning the boat manually.

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging for Unmatched Visibility

The integrated MEGA Down Imaging transducer delivers hyper-detailed sonar right from the motor, scanning up to stunning resolutions that reveal bottom composition, baitfish schools, and trophy fish with lifelike clarity. No separate mount needed—it's protected and streamlined, reducing drag and clutter on your deck.

This setup shines in shallow bays or stained water, where traditional sonar falls short. Connect via the 30-foot Ethernet extension cable to your Humminbird unit for a unified display, spotting structure changes that lead to more bites.

Durable Design Built to Last

Crafted with an indestructible composite shaft—backed by a lifetime guarantee—this motor laughs off rocks, stumps, and accidental impacts. The patented Lift-Assist mechanism uses a nitrogen gas-charged stainless steel spring to make stowing and deploying feel weightless, cutting effort in half.

Variable speed control via Digital Maximizer optimizes power draw, extending battery life up to five times longer than non-optimized motors. Expect full days on the water with dual 12-volt deep-cycle batteries, drawing a max of 56 amps. The battery meter keeps you informed, preventing unexpected shutdowns.

Versatile Controls and Mobile Integration

Command everything from the responsive foot pedal, wireless micro remote, or the free mobile app on iOS or Android devices. Adjust speed, engage Spot-Lock, or tweak AutoPilot on the fly. Software updates via app ensure you're always running the latest features.

The weedless Wedge 2 prop (MKP-33) powers through vegetation effortlessly, making it a top choice for weedy lakes or lily pads.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Performance

To get the most from your Ultrex:

• Calibrate the heading sensor in calm water for pinpoint Spot-Lock accuracy.
• Rinse the shaft and prop after saltwater exposure (though optimized for freshwater) to maintain the three-year warranty.
• Experiment with app-based waypoints for tournament runs or multi-spot scouting.

This motor excels on boats 18-22 feet, where its 80 lb thrust handles wind and current with ease, outpacing lesser models in holding power and sonar detail.
