112 LB Thrust with 36V Performance

The Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 45″ DSC and Micro Remote provides up to 112 pounds of thrust from a properly configured 36V trolling-motor electrical system. Minn Kota specifies a maximum amp draw of 52A for this configuration. (Minn Kota)

Variable-speed operation lets anglers precisely adjust motor output. Digital Maximizer regulates power delivery according to the selected speed, helping conserve battery capacity when maximum thrust isn’t necessary. (Minn Kota)

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

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

The DSC in this Ultrex model refers to Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar. Humminbird’s CHIRP transducer and wiring are integrated through the trolling motor, producing a cleaner installation than attaching a conventional external transducer and routing its cable along the shaft.

Dual Spectrum CHIRP covers a range of sonar frequencies to provide detailed 2D returns of fish, underwater structure and bottom composition when connected to compatible Humminbird equipment. (Minn Kota)

Power Steering and Steering Lock

Ultrex combines the familiar response of cable steering with Power Steering. The heel-toe pedal provides direct directional control while reducing steering effort during a long day of fishing.

Steering Lock keeps the motor head pointed in the direction it was left when the angler removes their foot from the pedal, eliminating the recoil associated with conventional cable-steer systems. (Minn Kota)

Spot-Lock, Advanced GPS and Drift Mode

The Advanced GPS Trolling System adds automated boat-control functions to the Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 45″ DSC and Micro Remote.

Spot-Lock uses GPS to help hold the boat at a selected fishing position. With the included heading sensor, Spot-Lock with Jog allows the selected position to be moved in 5-foot increments. (Minn Kota)

The current Ultrex also features Drift Mode, which automatically combines speed and course control to help manage the boat’s drift in wind and current. Integration with compatible Humminbird equipment through the One-Boat Network provides additional navigation and motor-control functionality. (Minn Kota)

Compact Micro Remote

The included Bluetooth Micro Remote provides wireless access to important trolling-motor controls without requiring a larger full-size remote.

Minn Kota identifies the current compatible Micro Remote as #1866561 and provides dedicated operating documentation for the Bluetooth version. (Minn Kota)

This gives anglers the flexibility to operate supported Ultrex functions away from the foot pedal while keeping the remote compact and easy to carry.

How to Use the Minn Kota Ultrex 112 45″

Install the Ultrex securely at the bow following Minn Kota’s model-specific instructions and use the manufacturer-specified 36V electrical configuration, marine wiring and circuit protection.

Deploy the motor manually with assistance from the Lift-Assist mechanism. Use the heel-toe foot pedal for steering and speed adjustments or the Micro Remote for supported wireless functions.

Activate Spot-Lock when GPS-assisted position holding is needed. The integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar can be connected to compatible Humminbird equipment using the appropriate supplied or manufacturer-specified connections.

For complete setup and operation information, use the official Minn Kota Ultrex manuals and installation guides.
