Minn Kota Ultrex 112 Trolling Motor

Carve through dense hydrilla grass beds through the Minn Kota Ultrex 112 Trolling Motor, engineered with Power Steering cable-feel mechanics and built-in MEGA Down Imaging for competitive bass fishing. Supplying 112 lbs of thrust on a 36V DC electrical architecture with a 52-inch composite shaft, this motor delivers instant foot pedal response with GPS virtual anchoring.

A patented Mono-Arm bracket made from extruded aircraft-grade aluminum features a single hinge point that eliminates structural rattle and deck flex. The lower unit houses an integrated MEGA Down Imaging transducer protected by an indestructible composite shaft that flexes upon timber impact. Weighing 62 lbs dry, this 36V motor pulls 52A at full throttle, occupying a stowed boundary measuring 62 inches long by 14 inches wide.

Key Features of Minn Kota Ultrex 112

Professional competitors who buy Minn Kota Ultrex 112 trolling motor platforms secure hybrid cable-feel power steering for freshwater bass boat rigging. Its Power Steering foot pedal provides the immediate tactile response of a traditional mechanical cable motor while eliminating physical steering torque in heavy waves.

- 112 lbs of thrust provides massive power to maneuver 21-foot fiberglass tournament rigs through wind.
- 52-inch composite shaft keeps the propeller submerged during choppy waves on windy main lake points.
- Built-in MEGA Down Imaging transducer delivers high-frequency sonar clarity straight to Humminbird displays.
- Power Steering foot pedal combines traditional cable-steer feel with effortless electronic power assist.
- Ultrex 112 tournament bass motor platform features Spot-Lock GPS virtual anchoring directly from the foot pedal.
- Extruded aluminum Mono-Arm mount creates a rock-solid foundation that eliminates metal-on-metal rattles.
- Weedless Wedge 2 propeller features swept-back flared blades that slice through thick vegetation without bogging.
- Digital Maximizer pulse-width modulation speed control extends battery runtime fivefold at variable speeds.

Thrust Curves Battery Amp Draw

Producing 112 lbs of static thrust on 36V power, this motor draws 52A at wide-open throttle, delivering unmatched pushing power through thick emergent weed beds. Connected to three 12V 100Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries, it provides over 16 continuous hours of aggressive fishing at mid-range throttle. The motor pod dissipates heat rapidly into surrounding water, emitting under 38 dB(A).

Bow Deck Installation Geometry Clearances

Bolt the Mono-Arm base to the bow deck using six heavy-duty stainless steel bolts and rubber isolator bushings, ensuring 4.5 inches of clearance past the nose. Connect the electrical leads to a 60A manual-reset waterproof marine circuit breaker using 6 AWG tinned copper wire. The base plate matches standard tournament bow bolt footprints.

Deck Usability Rigging Inspection Tasks

The integrated lift-assist nitrogen cylinder reduces motor stowage and deployment pull force in half, making boat moves effortless. This 36V high-thrust cable-steer motor is not engineered for small aluminum jon boats, shallow kayaks, or offshore saltwater applications lacking sacrificial anodes.

- Inspect the Weedless Wedge 2 prop and clear tangled braided line from the shaft after each outing.
- Wipe road grime and mud from the Mono-Arm bracket rails and lift cylinder after each outing.
- Inspect all 36V battery series connections and test circuit breaker function every 50 runtime hours.
