112 LB Thrust with 36V Power

With 112 pounds of maximum thrust, this Ulterra is one of Minn Kota’s higher-powered freshwater trolling motor configurations. It operates from a properly configured 36V trolling-motor battery system, making it suitable for compatible larger or heavier freshwater fishing boats where additional trolling power is required.

Variable-speed operation allows precise adjustments to boat speed. Minn Kota’s Digital Maximizer technology manages power delivery according to the selected speed, helping improve battery efficiency during lower-output operation.

For general information on electric trolling propulsion, see the Wikipedia overview of trolling motors.

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging Sonar

A major feature of the Minn Kota Ulterra 112 60″ BT MEGA DI Sonar i-Pilot Link is its integrated MEGA Down Imaging transducer.

Built-In MEGA DI allows compatible Humminbird fish finders to receive detailed Down Imaging sonar from the trolling motor without requiring a conventional external transducer mounted to the motor shaft.

This helps create a cleaner installation while reducing exposed transducer cables around the trolling motor. Exact Humminbird compatibility depends on the fish finder generation and connection hardware.

Minn Kota provides current compatibility information through its Built-In MEGA Imaging compatibility guide.

i-Pilot Link and Bluetooth Connectivity

The Bluetooth-enabled i-Pilot Link system combines GPS trolling-motor control with integration between compatible Minn Kota and Humminbird equipment.

Spot-Lock uses GPS positioning to help maintain the boat near a selected fishing location. AutoPilot can assist with maintaining a heading, while other navigation functions can automate portions of boat positioning and movement.

i-Pilot Link’s major advantage is communication with compatible Humminbird fish finders and mapping. Depending on the connected equipment and mapping, anglers can access integrated navigation features such as controlling the trolling motor through the fish finder and following supported contour information.

Minn Kota provides additional compatibility details through the official i-Pilot Link compatibility information.

Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim

Auto Stow/Deploy is one of the defining features of the Ulterra series. Instead of manually lowering and raising the trolling motor every time you change locations, the Ulterra can electronically stow and deploy using supported controls.

Power Trim electronically adjusts trolling-motor depth. This can be particularly useful when moving between deeper and shallower areas or when water conditions require adjustments to motor depth.

Together, these technologies distinguish Ulterra from more conventional manually deployed trolling motors.

60-Inch Shaft

The 60-inch shaft provides substantial reach below the bow and can be advantageous on compatible fishing boats with higher bow-to-waterline measurements.

Correct shaft selection remains important. The motor should operate deep enough to maintain effective propulsion while avoiding unnecessary shaft depth. Boat dimensions, mounting position, loading and typical water conditions should be considered before selecting a shaft length.

How to Use the Minn Kota Ulterra 112 60″

Install the Ulterra securely at the bow according to the instructions for its exact model number. Connect the trolling motor to the manufacturer-specified 36V electrical system with appropriate marine wiring and circuit protection.

Once powered, use the wireless remote or compatible control to deploy the motor automatically. Power Trim can then be used to establish the correct operating depth.

Use the wireless remote or foot pedal to control steering and speed. Spot-Lock can be activated when GPS-assisted position holding is required.

For sonar operation, connect the integrated MEGA DI system to a compatible Humminbird fish finder using the appropriate Minn Kota/Humminbird connection hardware.

Use the official Minn Kota Ulterra manuals and installation guides for model-specific installation and operation.
