Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth - 36V-112lb-72" *Remanufactured — Product description
Imagine launching your boat at dawn, casting lines into the salty swells, and never once worrying about wrestling with your trolling motor. The Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112 steps in as your silent partner, blending cutting-edge automation with brute-force power to keep you locked on fish, not fiddling with gear. This 36V powerhouse, packing 112 pounds of thrust over a 72-inch shaft, is remanufactured to meet the same relentless standards as factory-fresh units—tested, tuned, and ready to tackle the harshest saltwater environments.
Seamless Control from Anywhere Onboard
With i-Pilot and Bluetooth integration, commanding your motor feels like an extension of your instincts. Pair the remote to your phone or humidor-style controller, and you're steering, holding position, or retracing drifts without touching the shaft. Spot-Lock anchors you GPS-precisely, mimicking a virtual anchor in currents up to 24 MPH—perfect for those finicky stripers hugging structure. Anglers rave about how this tech turns solo missions into pro-level precision, freeing hands for rods and reels.
Auto Stow/Deploy: Stow It and Go
One button press, and the Ulterra folds itself away or drops silently into the water. No more back-straining lifts or scraped knuckles on rough docks. This feature shines during multi-stop tournaments or when dodging sudden squalls, saving precious minutes and energy. In real-world testing by coastal guides, it cuts setup time by over 70%, letting you fish harder, longer.
Power Trim: Dial in the Perfect Angle
Fishing depths change with tides, winds, and lures—Power Trim adjusts on the fly via remote, optimizing thrust direction without leaning over the transom. Keep your bait at prime depth through choppy bays or calm flats, maintaining control where others fight the elements.
Smart Battery Monitoring Keeps You Fishing
Forget guessing games with power levels. The i-Pilot remote displays real-time battery status alongside its own charge, so you plan runs accurately. Pair it with Digital Maximizer technology, which intelligently rations power—up to 5x longer runtime on the same batteries compared to old-school motors. Variable speeds mean you sip juice on finesse presentations or unleash full torque for quick repositions.
Slice Through Vegetation with Weedless Wedge 2
Marshy inlets and grass flats don't stand a chance. The Weedless Wedge 2 propeller's swept-back blades deflect weeds effortlessly, preventing stalls that kill momentum (and moods). It's not just propulsive; it's a weed warrior, ensuring consistent performance in tangled saltwater haunts where lesser motors bog down.
Engineered for Endurance: Composite Shaft and Quiet Operation
Minn Kota's indestructible composite shaft laughs off impacts—flexing like bamboo but tougher than steel, backed by a lifetime guarantee. Larger windings run cooler, quieter, slashing noise that spooks skittish reds or flounder. Low-friction bearings whisper through long days, extending motor life in demanding conditions.
Saltwater Toughness That Outlasts the Tide
Built for the brine, Riptide Ulterra boasts advanced corrosion shields: premium alloys with multi-layer coatings, fully sealed electronics in marine urethane, and a sacrificial zinc anode that draws corrosion away. Galvanic protection via balanced metals means your investment thrives season after season, even trailered in humid climates or rinsed post-storm.
Remanufactured Reliability: Like New, Proven Performance
Every remanufactured Ulterra undergoes rigorous factory-level inspection, rebuilding with genuine parts to original specs. It's not secondhand—it's revitalized, often outperforming worn new units while delivering exceptional value. Backed by a full one-year warranty, it's the smart choice for savvy anglers prioritizing performance over polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the i-Pilot system special on the Riptide Ulterra?
i-Pilot offers GPS-powered features like Spot-Lock for virtual anchoring, cruise control for consistent speeds, and route recording to repeat successful drifts, all controllable via remote or Bluetooth app for effortless navigation.
How does Auto Stow/Deploy work in rough conditions?
It automatically raises or lowers the motor with a single remote command, handling the lift smoothly even in choppy water or tight spaces, reducing physical strain and setup time.
Is this trolling motor suitable for big bay boats?
Yes, with 112 lbs. of thrust and a 72-inch shaft, it's ideal for larger vessels up to 28 feet, powering through wind, current, and waves in saltwater bays or nearshore.
What's the benefit of Digital Maximizer?
It optimizes power draw to match your speed needs, extending battery life up to 5 times longer than non-digital motors, so you spend more time fishing and less charging.
How is the remanufactured version different from new?
Remanufactured units are fully inspected, repaired with OEM parts, and tested to match new performance standards, offering like-new reliability at a better value with the same warranty.
Does it handle heavy weed and grass areas?
Absolutely—the Weedless Wedge 2 prop pushes vegetation aside without clogging, maintaining thrust in grassy flats or marshy estuaries common in saltwater fishing.
What protections does it have against saltwater corrosion?
Multi-layer coatings, sealed electronics, a sacrificial anode, and corrosion-resistant alloys protect every component, ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments.

TELL YOUR MOTOR TO GO STOW & DEPLOY ITSELF.
Stow, deploy, trim, and operate your motor from anywhere on the boat. It's not magic, but it's close. Riptide Ulterra features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim and comes with i-Pilot. Fish from anywhere. Dominate everywhere.
Auto Stow/Deploy
Nothing makes fishing easier than Riptide Ulterra. Auto Stow/Deploy lets you get your motor in and out of the water using the included i-Pilot remote.
Power Trim
Once your motor's in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using your remote. Ulterra handles the busy work, so you can focus on fishing.
Integrated Battery Meter
In addition to showing the remote battery life, your i-Pilot remote will also show you the state of your motor's batteries, so you'll never have to guess how much longer you have on the water.
Digital Maximzer™
Motors with Digital Maximizer provide up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life.
Cool, Quiet, Power: Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.
Saltwater Advantage
Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating & a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected.
Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out.
Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced & a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesn't have to.
1-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's one-year warranty.
