The ICAST award-winning Ultrex is now available in Australia! Minn Kota® introduces the trolling motor anglers have only dreamed of - a hybrid that merges the body of a Fortrex® with the brains of i-Pilot®, complete with Spot-Lock electronic GPS anchoring and more.

Now available in Australia, Minn Kota's Ultrex™ gives anglers the control and responsiveness of a Fortrex, plus effortless Power Steering and i-Pilot features, like Spot-Lock. Paired with Steering Lock, which allows you to take your foot off the pedal without losing motor heading, Ultrex will change the way you fish.

"We continue to set the bar high for break-through innovations to help anglers catch fish. Ultrex is no exception," says Shaun Clancy, Minn Kota Product Manager. "We've combined the reliability and responsive 'wired-to-the-water' feel of our tournament-proven Fortrex with the GPS technologies of i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, and Spot-Lock electronic anchoring. It's the best of both worlds."

Ultrex Features:

  • Power Steering: Ultra-responsive control and reduces steering effort and foot fatigue
  • Steering Lock: Take your foot off the pedal and keep your motor heading
  • Ultrex Foot Pedal: Power steering with Spot-Lock and AutoPilot Buttons
  • Lift-Assist
  • Fortrex Mono Arm bracket
  • Coated stainless steel stow/deploy adjustable cable
  • Bluetooth-enabled i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link
  • Digital Maximizer
  • Universal Sonar 2
  • Composite Shaft
  • Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
The Minn Kota Ultrex product line-up will consist of numerous i-Pilot- or i-Pilot Link- and US2-enabled combos, including 24-volt 80 lbs. thrust and 36-volt 112 lbs. thrust versions in 45", 52" and 60" shaft lengths.

RRP: From $4,599
