Minn Kota Ulterra Trolling Motor | Brushed & QUEST Brushless
Minn Kota Ulterra & Ulterra QUEST Trolling Motors
The Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor puts boat control, automatic stowing and deployment, and push-button depth adjustment at your fingertips. Choose dependable brushed performance or the dual-voltage brushless power of Ulterra QUEST. When conditions change, adjust the motor's trim from your remote or foot pedal without reaching over the bow, then return your attention to the next cast. Available thrust, shaft length, and sonar combinations vary by motor configuration. Select your preferred setup using the product options above.
Choose Your Motor Type & Power Configuration
- Ulterra brushed: Available in 80 lb thrust at 24V or 112 lb thrust at 36V.
- Ulterra QUEST brushless: Dual-voltage operation delivers 90 lb thrust at 24V or 115 lb thrust at 36V.
- QUEST battery management: Real-time battery monitoring and Eco Mode help you monitor remaining power and manage current draw. These features apply to QUEST models, not the brushed lineup.
Match your selected motor's voltage requirements to your boat's battery system before ordering.
Auto Stow/Deploy & Power Trim
- Auto Stow/Deploy: Stow or deploy Ulterra at the push of a button from the wireless remote or foot pedal.
- Power Trim: Raise or lower the motor to adjust running depth as fishing conditions change, without manually repositioning the shaft.
- Connected controls: Compatible Humminbird fish finders and supported mobile-app connections offer additional control options. Availability depends on your motor model, software, and connected equipment.
Steering & GPS Fishing Features
Ulterra combines electric steering with GPS boat positioning. Feature availability varies by motor model, generation, and software. The connected features below require a supported motor and compatible electronics or accessories; they are not a guarantee that every brushed and QUEST configuration supports every function. Confirm compatibility for your selected setup before ordering.
- Spot-Lock with Jog: Hold your fishing position with GPS, then move the Spot-Lock location five feet in a chosen direction using Jog with the required heading-sensor setup.
- Improved Spot-Lock: On configurations supporting the improved system, up to a 50% tighter hold helps maintain your fishing position.
- Heel-Toe Programmable Electric Foot Pedal: Steer, stow, deploy, and adjust trim from the pedal. Supported programmable functions depend on the selected model and connected accessories. Ulterra uses electric steering; the Ultrex foot-pedal power-steering description is not applied to this motor.
- Intelligent Depth Control: On supported connected setups, detects depth changes, provides alerts, and can engage Spot-Lock or deploy compatible connected shallow-water anchors.
- Draw & Navigate: On supported setups, draw a course on compatible connected electronics and let the motor navigate it.
- Follow Mode: On supported setups, automatically follows depth contours or weed lines using compatible connected electronics.
- Drift Mode: Uses GPS-assisted speed and course control to help manage your drift in wind and current on supported models.
- Advanced GPS Trolling System: Control boat positioning, supported path recording, speed, and steering through the wireless remote. App-based functions depend on model and software compatibility.
Built-In Sonar Choices
Choose the sonar configuration that works with your compatible fish finder. Available combinations depend on your selected motor type, thrust, and shaft length.
- Dual Spectrum CHIRP: Built-in sonar for detailed views of fish, structure, and the bottom.
- MEGA Down Imaging: Built-in imaging for a detailed view beneath the motor.
- MEGA Down/Side Imaging: An imaging option for viewing beneath and beside the boat on equipped configurations.
Built-in transducers and wiring are concealed and protected through the motor's shaft. Confirm fish finder compatibility and any required adapters before ordering.
Shaft Construction & Battery Efficiency
- Composite shaft: Durable shaft construction backed by a lifetime composite shaft guarantee.
- Digital Maximizer: Variable-speed power management helps conserve battery power by delivering the power needed for your selected speed.
- QUEST brushless design: The QUEST series features redesigned motor and mount components, with battery monitoring and Eco Mode for managing power on the water.
