Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 80 Trolling Motor w/iPilot Link & Bluetooth 24V-80lb-72"

Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 80 Trolling Motor w/iPilot Link & Bluetooth 24V-80lb-72" Product Description

Unlock Effortless Control on the Water

Imagine gliding across salty waves, zeroed in on your prime fishing spot, without ever touching the trolling motor. The Riptide Ulterra 80 changes the game for serious saltwater anglers. With its hands-free auto stow/deploy and power trim, you command everything from the helm or your phone. Pair that with i-Pilot Link's GPS wizardry, and you're holding position against wind and current like it's nothing. This isn't just a motor—it's your edge in the toughest conditions.

Standout Features That Deliver Real Results

• Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim: One button deploys or stows the motor, and trim adjusts depth on the fly. No more wrestling with heavy gear mid-fight with a trophy fish.
• i-Pilot Link with Bluetooth: Syncs seamlessly with Humminbird units or your smartphone app. Set waypoints, follow contours, or jog your Spot-Lock in 5-foot increments—precision at your fingertips.
• Reinvented Spot-Lock: Locks you onto structure with GPS accuracy that laughs at tides and gusts. The "distance to spot" readout keeps you confident.
• AutoPilot: Point and go—handles steering corrections for smooth paths, saving battery and your sanity.
• Digital Maximizer: Squeezes up to 5x more runtime from your batteries by matching power to your speed. Fish longer, recharge less.

Built Tough for Saltwater Warriors

Saltwater eats gear alive, but not this one. Advanced corrosion protection layers grit-blasted alloys with armor plating and powder coat. A sacrificial anode takes the hits, while fully encapsulated electronics shrug off sprays. The indestructible composite shaft flexes on rocks but never quits—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Cool, quiet operation means spooked fish stay put, and your motor lasts seasons longer.

Anglers rigging for offshore reds or inshore flats rave about the Weedless Wedge 2 prop. Swept-back blades slice through grass and debris without bogging down, keeping thrust steady at 80 pounds.

Smart Tech for Smarter Fishing

The integrated battery meter on your remote spills the beans on charge levels—no guessing games. Mobile app compatibility lets you tweak settings dockside or tweak mid-day. Record tracks from hot bites, replay them tomorrow. For multi-boat crews, Ethernet integration shares data across setups. It's like having a first mate who never complains.

Pro tip: Pair with deep-cycle batteries and check connections before launches. This setup shines on bay boats or center consoles 18-24 feet, powering through chop without drama.

Fishing Tips to Maximize Performance

Drop into Spot-Lock over reefs for vertical jigging—watch stripers pile up. Use track recording to loop back to that oyster bar at dawn. In heavy weed, bump to higher speeds; the prop thrives there. Rinse post-trip to baby that anode, and you're set for years. Kayak guys modding for bigger waters? This scales up perfectly with the 72" shaft.

Stow, deploy, trim and operate your motor from anywhere on the boat. Riptide Ulterra features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, and comes with your choice of i-Pilot(R) or i-Pilot(R) Link™. Fish from anywhere. Dominate everywhere. Every Minn Kota lower unit runs cool to extend trolling motor life, and stays quiet.

Riptide Ulterra 80 Trolling Motor w/iPilot Link & Bluetooth 24V-80lb-72"

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.

Features:

• Auto a 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. Riptide Ulterra handles the busy work so you can focus on fishing.
• i-Pilot - The most popular GPS trolling system now features a larger LCD screen and more intuitive control. Get the most accurate Spot-Lock ever, plus Advanced AutoPilot, track recording, and control of speed, steering and cruise control.
• Integrated Battery Meter - In addition to showing the remote battery life, your i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link 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 Maximizer™ - 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.
• AutoPilot™ - Digitally controlled AutoPilot™ locks onto any heading you choose and delivers you there. Infinitely variable steering adjustments provide smoother course corrections and tighter heading accuracy against wind, waves and current
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Reinvented Spot - Lock with Jog - (available on i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link models) We just took our most trusted GPS feature to the next level. Spot-Lock uses GPS to lock you onto a fishing spot, and now we've re engineered it to work smarter and hold you stronger and more accurately than ever. Updated with hardware and software algorithms for better accuracy, Spot-Lock is the most accurate GPS anchor ever. You can see for yourself with the new "Distance to Spot" reading on the remote, to show you just how close you are. Plus, the new Jog feature lets you move your Spot-Lock in five-foot increments in any direction
• 2-Year Warranty - This motor is backed up with Minn Kota’s two-year warranty.
