Ultrex Quest vs. The Original: The Next Generation of Trolling Motors

We've been getting a lot of questions about the new Minn Kota Ultrex Quest and how it compares to the original Ultrex. The Quest isn't just a new model; it's a completely re-engineered platform built on almost a decade of angler feedback from the original Ultrex. Minn Kota took everything they learned and built a trolling motor that is more rigid, more responsive, and more integrated than ever before.

The Key Upgrades of the Ultrex Quest

• Beefier Bracket & Hardware: The Quest features a much more rigid, beefier bracket with more metal components, making it incredibly durable. They've also stepped up the hardware from 1/4-inch to 5/16-inch, creating an even stronger mounting point.

• Whisper-Quiet Operation: Anglers will immediately notice how much quieter the Quest is. Whether you're turning the head, transitioning into Spot-Lock, or making adjustments, the reduced noise allows you to be more stealthy on the water.

• Smoother Foot Pedal: The foot pedal has been redesigned to provide a smoother, more responsive operation. This offers a seamless feel when you’re live scoping and making continuous adjustments to stay on fish.

• Integrated Heading Sensor: The external heading sensor puck is now a thing of the past. The heading sensor is built directly into the motor itself, eliminating the need to install a separate component and manage its power supply.

• One-Boat Network Button: For those running Minn Kota Raptors, the Quest's foot pedal features a dedicated One-Boat Network button. This configurable button eliminates the need for separate stomp switches, providing a clean and efficient setup.

With a ton of new features and significant upgrades to rigidity and user experience, the Minn Kota Ultrex Quest is a top choice for serious anglers looking for the best possible performance from their trolling motor.
