Powerful 112 LB Thrust and 36V Operation

The Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 52″ MDI and Micro Remote delivers 112 pounds of maximum thrust from a properly configured 36V trolling-motor electrical system. This makes it a high-powered option for compatible freshwater fishing boats that require more propulsion than lower-thrust trolling motors.

Minn Kota’s Digital Maximizer works with the variable-speed system to deliver only the amount of power needed for the selected speed. Minn Kota says this technology can provide up to five times longer runtime on a single battery charge compared with traditional speed-control designs under applicable conditions. (Minn Kota)

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

Built-In MEGA Down Imaging

The MDI designation refers to MEGA Down Imaging. The transducer is integrated directly into the trolling motor’s lower unit, eliminating the need to clamp a separate imaging transducer and exposed cable onto the motor shaft.

When connected to compatible Humminbird electronics, MEGA Down Imaging provides detailed views of fish, structure and bottom features directly beneath the bow. The integrated transducer also provides Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar to compatible Humminbird equipment. (Minn Kota)

Fish-finder compatibility varies by Humminbird generation and model, so verify your unit with the official Minn Kota Built-In MEGA Imaging compatibility guide.

Power Steering with Cable-Steer Control

Ultrex combines traditional cable-steer response with Power Steering. Its heel-toe foot pedal provides immediate directional control while electronic assistance reduces the steering effort required throughout a day of fishing.

Steering Lock is another important Ultrex feature. When the angler removes their foot from the pedal, the trolling motor remains pointed in the selected direction instead of recoiling and requiring readjustment. (Minn Kota)

Advanced GPS and Spot-Lock

The Minn Kota Ultrex Combo 112 52″ MDI and Micro Remote includes Minn Kota’s Advanced GPS Trolling System.

Spot-Lock uses GPS positioning to automatically help keep the boat at a productive fishing location. With the included heading sensor, Spot-Lock with Jog allows the Spot-Lock position to be moved five feet in a selected direction. (Minn Kota)

Ultrex also provides Drift Mode, AutoPilot and One-Boat Network integration. When connected to compatible Humminbird equipment, supported functions can include navigation to fishing locations, recording paths, following contours and controlling the trolling motor from the fish finder. (Minn Kota)

Wireless Micro Remote

A Micro Remote is included with model 1368898. It provides compact wireless access to supported trolling-motor functions while the heel-toe foot pedal remains available for direct steering.

Minn Kota lists the Bluetooth Micro Remote as compatible with current brushed Ultrex motors. (Minn Kota)

52-Inch Composite Shaft

The 52-inch shaft provides seven inches of additional length compared with the 45-inch version. The additional reach can benefit compatible boats with greater bow-to-waterline measurements or boats frequently operated in conditions where bow movement requires more shaft depth.

Minn Kota also provides a lifetime guarantee on its composite trolling-motor shaft. (Minn Kota)
