Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 52″ DSC and Micro Remote

The Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 52″ DSC and Micro Remote is a premium freshwater bow-mount trolling motor designed for serious anglers who want high thrust, responsive foot control, integrated sonar and GPS-assisted boat positioning. Combining 112 lb of thrust, a 52-inch shaft, 36V power, Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP (DSC) sonar, Power Steering, Spot-Lock and a wireless Micro Remote, Ultrex brings modern navigation technology to the familiar feel of a cable-steer motor.

The 52-inch shaft provides seven additional inches of shaft length compared with the 45-inch Ultrex, making this configuration a strong choice for compatible boats requiring greater motor depth.

112 LB Thrust and 36V Performance

With 112 pounds of maximum thrust, the Ultrex 112 is designed for compatible freshwater fishing boats that need substantial trolling power. The motor operates from a properly configured 36V trolling-motor battery system.

Variable-speed control gives anglers precise adjustment of motor output rather than limiting operation to several predetermined speeds.

Minn Kota’s Digital Maximizer manages power delivery based on the selected speed. This can help extend battery runtime when anglers spend significant portions of the day operating below maximum thrust.

For general educational information about this type of propulsion, see the Wikipedia overview of trolling motors.

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

The DSC designation means this Ultrex includes Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar.

The sonar transducer and wiring are integrated into the trolling motor rather than requiring a traditional external 2D transducer mounted to the lower unit.

When connected to compatible Humminbird fish finders, Dual Spectrum CHIRP provides detailed sonar returns that can help anglers identify fish, structure and bottom composition.

This integrated design also provides a cleaner installation with less exposed sonar cabling around the trolling-motor shaft.

For Humminbird compatibility information, see Minn Kota’s official Built-In Sonar compatibility guide.

Power Steering with Cable-Steer Response

Ultrex is designed to combine cable-steer response with Power Steering.

The heel-toe foot pedal provides the familiar steering feel many anglers prefer while electronic assistance reduces the physical effort needed to turn the motor.

Ultrex also features Steering Lock, which keeps the motor pointed in the direction it was left when the angler removes their foot from the pedal instead of allowing the motor to recoil like a conventional cable-steer system.

This combination makes the Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 52″ DSC and Micro Remote particularly well suited to anglers who want traditional foot-pedal control without giving up modern trolling-motor technology.

Spot-Lock and Advanced GPS

Ultrex incorporates Minn Kota’s GPS trolling technology, including Spot-Lock.

Spot-Lock uses GPS to help keep the boat at a selected fishing location without requiring continuous steering and throttle corrections.

With a compatible heading sensor, Spot-Lock with Jog allows anglers to reposition the selected Spot-Lock location in small increments.

AutoPilot and other supported GPS functions can further reduce the amount of manual boat control required while fishing.

Wireless Micro Remote

The included Micro Remote provides compact wireless access to key trolling-motor functions.

Rather than carrying a larger full-size remote, anglers can keep the Micro Remote nearby for supported functions while continuing to use the foot pedal as their primary steering control.

This combination is useful when moving around the boat or when another person needs access to basic trolling-motor controls.

52-Inch Shaft

The 52-inch shaft provides more reach than the popular 45-inch Ultrex configuration.

That additional seven inches can be useful on boats with greater bow-to-waterline measurements or in conditions where bow movement makes it more difficult for a shorter motor to remain sufficiently submerged.

Correct shaft length should always be selected according to boat dimensions, mounting location and typical fishing conditions.

Weedless Wedge 2 Prop

The Ultrex 112 uses Minn Kota’s Weedless Wedge 2 propeller.

Its swept-back blade design is intended to help move through vegetation while reducing unnecessary weed chopping and fouling, making it useful when fishing around grass and other aquatic vegetation.

How to Use the Minn Kota Ultrex 112 52″ DSC

Install the motor securely at the bow following the instructions for the exact Ultrex model. Connect it to the manufacturer-specified 36V electrical system using appropriate marine wiring and circuit protection.

Deploy the motor using its Lift-Assist system and set the 52-inch shaft to an appropriate operating depth.

Use the heel-toe foot pedal for steering and speed control. The Micro Remote can operate supported wireless functions, while Spot-Lock can be activated when GPS-assisted position holding is needed.

Connect the integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer to a compatible Humminbird fish finder using the appropriate manufacturer-specified connection.

For detailed installation and operating instructions, consult the official Minn Kota Ultrex manuals and support documentation.
