112 LB Thrust with 36V Power

The Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 45″ MDI and Micro Remote delivers up to 112 pounds of thrust from a properly configured 36V trolling-motor system. The combination provides substantial propulsion for compatible freshwater fishing boats.

Its variable-speed control lets anglers fine-tune motor output rather than choosing only from fixed speeds. Digital Maximizer regulates power delivery based on the selected speed, helping conserve available battery capacity when full output isn’t necessary. Minn Kota rates this model at a maximum amp draw of 52A. (Minn Kota)

For general educational information, see the Wikipedia overview of trolling motors.

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging

The MDI designation means this Ultrex features Built-In MEGA Down Imaging.

Instead of attaching an external imaging transducer and routing exposed sonar cables down the trolling-motor shaft, the MEGA DI transducer is integrated into the lower unit. Minn Kota describes the system as providing detailed views directly underneath the boat when connected to compatible Humminbird equipment. (Minn Kota)

This makes the Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 45″ MDI and Micro Remote particularly attractive for anglers already using compatible Humminbird fish finders.

Power Steering and Heel-Toe Foot Pedal

Ultrex combines the familiar response of cable steering with Minn Kota Power Steering.

The heel-toe cable foot pedal provides precise directional control while Power Steering reduces the effort required to turn the motor. This maintains the responsive feel many bass anglers prefer while adding electronic assistance. (Minn Kota)

The motor also includes Lift-Assist, which helps reduce the effort required when manually stowing or deploying the trolling motor. (Minn Kota)

Spot-Lock and Advanced GPS

The current Ultrex platform combines cable steering with an advanced GPS trolling system. Spot-Lock uses GPS to help hold the boat at a selected fishing position automatically.

Minn Kota also includes Drift Mode, which can manage speed and course while compensating for wind and current. The motor’s One-Boat Network compatibility enables integration with compatible Humminbird fish finders for additional control and navigation features. (Minn Kota)

Wireless Micro Remote

The included Micro Remote provides compact wireless control of supported trolling-motor functions, allowing anglers to control key features without remaining at the foot pedal.

Minn Kota’s current Bluetooth-compatible Micro Remote documentation applies to remotes manufactured from 2017 onward. (Minn Kota)
