Minn Kota Ulterra 80 Trolling Motor w/Wireless Remote - Dual Spectrum CHIRP - 24V - 80LB - 45"

Revolutionize Your Fishing with Effortless Control and Precision

Imagine gliding across the water, locking onto your prime fishing spot without lifting a finger, and adjusting your setup on the fly—all while keeping your eyes on the sonar screen. The Minn Kota Ulterra 80 brings this reality to serious freshwater anglers who demand reliability in rough conditions. With its re-engineered design, this 24V, 80lb thrust motor on a 45-inch shaft handles bigger boats and tougher waters, delivering hands-free operation that lets you focus on the catch.

Master the Water with Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim

Getting in and out of tight spots just got simpler. Tap a button on the wireless remote, foot pedal, or compatible app to automatically stow or deploy the motor. No more wrestling with heavy gear in choppy waves or at the dock. Pair it with power trim to fine-tune the shaft angle instantly, adapting to depth changes or waves without leaning over the bow. Anglers report saving precious minutes each trip, turning potential hassles into seamless routines.

GPS-Powered Navigation That Keeps You on the Fish

At its heart lies the Advanced GPS system, trusted by tournament pros for spot-on positioning. Activate Spot-Lock to anchor virtually anywhere with GPS accuracy that rivals a physical anchor—perfect for hovering over structure in current-heavy rivers. Need to nudge five feet left or right? Jog function uses the heading sensor for precise shifts. Record your hot routes with the path-following feature, or engage Drift Mode for intuitive control against wind and current, eliminating guesswork and gear like drift socks.

• AutoPilot: Maintains your course automatically, freeing you for casting.
• Speed and Steering Control: Dial in exact speeds via the intuitive LCD remote.
• Waypoint Marking: Save locations instantly for return trips.

Crystal-Clear Insights from Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

Everything stays hidden inside the shaft—no dangling transducers to snag lines or foul up storage. Dual Spectrum CHIRP scans wide frequencies for vivid details on fish arches, bottom contours, and cover that traditional sonar misses. In murky lakes, it separates targets better, helping you drop baits right where they count. Pro tip: Layer it with your graph for separation anxiety-free readings during multi-species hunts.

Intuitive Controls for All-Day Comfort

The heel-toe electric foot pedal isn't just responsive—it's programmable. Assign your go-to functions like Spot-Lock toggle or waypoint save to a button, with an 18-foot cord for bow-to-console reach. The wireless remote puts full command in your pocket, while One-Boat Network app integration means smartphone control for speed tweaks, software updates, and more. Works seamlessly with Apple or Android devices.

Built to Last Through Seasons of Hard Use

Flex without breaking thanks to the lifetime-guaranteed composite shaft, which flexes under impacts but rebounds stronger. Digital Maximizer tech stretches battery life up to five times longer by optimizing power output—crucial for extended days chasing bass or walleye. Variable speeds and a 56-amp max draw mean efficient runs on standard 24V setups. Weedless Wedge 2 prop sheds vegetation effortlessly in weedy bays.

Real-World Scenarios Where Ulterra Shines

On expansive lakes like those in the Great Lakes chain, Spot-Lock holds firm against 20-knot winds, letting you vertical jig without drifting off suspended schools. In skinny rivers, power trim raises the prop just enough for safe navigation. Tournament anglers love the remote's backlight for low-light launches, while casual fishers appreciate stowing at a moments notice for scenic cruises. It's not just a motor; it's a game-changer for multi-hour outings.

Maintenance Tips for Peak Performance

Rinse with freshwater after brackish exposure to protect electronics. Check prop for nicks seasonally, and store stowed to minimize shaft stress. Battery meter on the remote helps monitor charge—aim for deep-cycle groups in series for best results. Regular firmware updates via app keep GPS algorithms sharp against evolving lake conditions.
