QUEST Brushless Motor Performance

The biggest difference between this model and the traditional brushed Ultrex is its QUEST brushless motor.

Minn Kota says QUEST motors are designed to provide up to 50% more torque and 30% longer runtime, while reinforced brackets and pivot points are intended to withstand demanding fishing conditions. (Minn Kota)

The dual-voltage design is another important advantage. The Minn Kota Ultrex QUEST 90/115 45″ DSC and Micro Remote produces 90 lb of maximum thrust when operated at 24V and 115 lb when configured for 36V. This provides more flexibility than an Ultrex model designed around only one voltage configuration. (Minn Kota)

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar

The DSC designation stands for Dual Spectrum CHIRP.

Its transducer is integrated into the trolling motor, eliminating the need for a separately clamped 2D transducer and exposed sonar cable along the shaft. Dual Spectrum CHIRP provides detailed 2D sonar information for identifying fish and improving target separation beneath the boat. (Minn Kota)

The system is optimized for compatible Humminbird electronics, but Minn Kota also lists adapters for certain Lowrance and Garmin units. Humminbird XPLORE, SOLIX and APEX models support Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP without an adapter, while compatibility and adapter requirements vary for other displays. (Minn Kota)

Power Steering with Cable-Steer Control

Ultrex QUEST maintains one of the defining features of the Ultrex platform: heel-toe cable steering combined with Power Steering.

This design gives anglers the immediate feel of a cable-steer trolling motor while power assistance reduces the effort required to steer. The foot pedal therefore remains a major part of the control experience instead of relying entirely on wireless or electric steering.

Minn Kota also equips this model with Lift-Assist to make manual deployment and stowing easier. Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim are not included on this Ultrex QUEST configuration. (Minn Kota)

Advanced GPS and Spot-Lock

The Minn Kota Ultrex QUEST 90/115 45″ Shaft 24/36V DSC and Micro Remote incorporates Minn Kota’s GPS-based trolling technology.

Spot-Lock allows the trolling motor to use GPS to help maintain a selected fishing position. AutoPilot provides heading control, while Drift Mode is designed to manage speed and direction against wind and current. (Minn Kota)

The motor is also compatible with Minn Kota and Humminbird’s One-Boat Network, allowing supported trolling-motor functions to interact with compatible Humminbird electronics. Minn Kota highlights functions including Follow Mode and Dodge Mode within the current Ultrex QUEST platform. (Minn Kota)

Two Propellers Included

A useful feature of this QUEST configuration is that Minn Kota includes two propeller options:

MKP-39 Weedless Wedge 2 is designed to work effectively around vegetation, while the MKP-40 Power Prop provides an alternative propeller configuration.

Both are listed as included equipment for model #1368900. (Minn Kota)

Micro Remote

The included Micro Remote gives anglers compact wireless access to supported trolling-motor controls while retaining the Ultrex corded heel-toe foot pedal as the primary steering interface.

Minn Kota lists the Bluetooth Micro Remote as compatible with Ultrex QUEST models manufactured from 2024 onward. (Minn Kota)

What’s Included?

Minn Kota lists the factory package as including the Ultrex QUEST trolling motor, Ultrex corded foot pedal, Micro Remote, remote lanyard, Ethernet cable, Humminbird HELIX adapter cable, stabilizer, MKP-39 Weedless Wedge 2 prop, MKP-40 Power Prop and mounting hardware. (Minn Kota)

How to Use the Ultrex QUEST 90/115

Install the motor securely on a compatible bow according to Minn Kota’s model-specific instructions. Because this QUEST motor supports both 24V and 36V configurations, its electrical system, marine-grade wiring and circuit protection should follow Minn Kota’s requirements for the chosen configuration.

Use Lift-Assist for manual deployment and stowing. Once deployed, the heel-toe foot pedal provides steering and variable-speed control, while the Micro Remote provides supported wireless functions.

Connect Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP to compatible sonar equipment using the manufacturer-specified connection or adapter.
