Minn Kota’s New Ulterra Trolling Motor Simplifies Boat Control With Auto Stow and Deploy, and Power Trim
OutdoorHub 07.14.14
Continuing its legacy of innovation, Minn Kota announces Ulterra, the next evolution of trolling motors. Ulterra can be seen at Minn Kota’s ICAST booth, #1041, starting Wednesday, July 16.
The revolutionary Ulterra bow-mount trolling motor features fully automated stow and deploy. In addition, Ulterra includes power trim, which raises and lowers the depth of the motor with the push of a button. These innovative functions, controlled wirelessly with either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote control or foot pedal, make boat control easier than ever.
All Ulterra motors come with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link, and a new multi-function, corded foot pedal with a dedicated Spot-Lock button.
“Ulterra was designed and engineered to enhance the angler’s time on the water,” Minn Kota Senior Product Manager Dave Maryanov said. “The new automated features set the standard for ease of use in a trolling motor. And by including i-Pilot technology, we not only have a motor that provides automatic boat control and automatic anchoring, but now, automated stow, deploy and power trim. The motor truly does all the work.”
Ulterra will be available Fall 2014 with manufacturer’s suggested retail pricing between $1,989.99 and $2,549.99, and will come in 80- and 112-pound thrust models with 45- and 60-inch shafts. Ulterra will also come standard with Universal Sonar 2.
