80 LB Thrust with 24V Power

The Minn Kota Ulterra 80 60″ DSC Wireless Remote produces up to 80 pounds of thrust from a 24V trolling-motor electrical system. Its 60-inch shaft provides additional reach for compatible fishing boats requiring more shaft length than the 45-inch configuration.

Minn Kota specifies variable-speed operation, a maximum amp draw of 56A, and Digital Maximizer. Digital Maximizer regulates power delivery according to the selected speed, helping anglers conserve battery capacity when full power isn’t necessary. (Minn Kota)

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar is one of the key features of this Ulterra configuration. Humminbird’s CHIRP sonar covers a range of frequencies to provide detailed 2D returns for identifying fish, structure and bottom composition. (Minn Kota)

Integrating sonar into the trolling motor also creates a cleaner installation than mounting a separate external 2D sonar transducer on the motor shaft.

Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim

A standout advantage of Ulterra is its Auto Stow/Deploy system. Anglers can stow or deploy the trolling motor electronically using the wireless remote, foot pedal, One-Boat Network App, or a compatible Humminbird fish finder.

Power Trim also lets the angler raise or lower the motor electronically to adjust operating depth as fishing and water conditions change. (Minn Kota)

These features distinguish Ulterra from trolling motors that require the angler to manually deploy and adjust the shaft.

Advanced GPS and Spot-Lock

The Ulterra includes Minn Kota’s Advanced GPS Trolling System. It supports functions such as Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, speed and steering control, route-related functions, and other automated boat-positioning features. (Minn Kota)

Spot-Lock uses GPS positioning to help keep the boat near a selected location, making it particularly useful when anglers want to concentrate on fishing instead of continuously correcting boat position.

Advanced Wireless Remote

The included wireless remote provides access to the Ulterra’s major navigation and motor-control features. Minn Kota’s Advanced GPS Navigation remote includes a 2.1-inch LCD display and customizable One-Boat Network buttons. (Minn Kota)

With Ulterra, the remote can also control Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, giving anglers control of the trolling motor from elsewhere in the boat. (Minn Kota)

What’s Included?

Minn Kota lists the package with the Ulterra 80 lb 60″ trolling motor with Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar, heading sensor, wireless remote, remote lanyard, corded foot pedal, propeller, 30-foot Ethernet cable, Humminbird HELIX cables for Ethernet and built-in sonar, and mounting hardware. (Minn Kota)

How to Use the Minn Kota Ulterra 80 60″

Mount the Ulterra securely at the bow according to Minn Kota’s installation instructions and connect it to the manufacturer-specified 24V trolling-motor electrical system.

Once powered, pair and configure the wireless remote as required. Use Auto Stow/Deploy to place the motor into the water, Power Trim to establish the proper operating depth, and the remote or foot pedal for steering and speed adjustments.

GPS features such as Spot-Lock can then be activated when you want the motor to automatically assist with boat positioning. Connect the Built-In DSC sonar to compatible Humminbird equipment using the appropriate supplied or manufacturer-specified cables.

For detailed setup and operating instructions, see the official Minn Kota Ulterra manuals and installation guides.
