The Minn Kota Ulterra 2 80 lb Trolling Motor combines automatic stow and deploy, electronic power trim, advanced GPS navigation, and built-in Humminbird Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar in a powerful freshwater bow-mount trolling motor. Featuring a 45" composite shaft, wireless remote, and programmable electric foot pedal, the Ulterra 2 makes boat control easier by allowing anglers to deploy, stow, and adjust the trolling motor without reaching over the bow.
Powered by a 24V brushed motor delivering 80 lbs of thrust, the Ulterra 2 features Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer technology for efficient variable-speed operation and extended battery runtime.
With improved Spot-Lock, Drift Mode, Power Trim, Auto Stow/Deploy, and integrated Humminbird sonar, the Ulterra 2 delivers advanced boat positioning and hands-free convenience for serious freshwater anglers.

Automatic Stow & Deploy
One of the biggest advantages of the Minn Kota Ulterra 2 is its fully automatic stow and deploy system.
Instead of manually lifting and lowering the trolling motor, anglers can raise or deploy the Ulterra at the push of a button.
Supported control options include:
Automatic stow and deploy makes it easier to transition between running the boat and fishing, particularly when operating from the console or when reaching the bow-mounted motor is inconvenient.
Electronic Power Trim
The Ulterra 2 features electronic Power Trim, allowing anglers to adjust trolling motor depth without manually moving the shaft.
Using the wireless remote, foot pedal, or supported connected electronics, the motor can be raised or lowered to maintain proper propeller depth.
This is especially useful when fishing in changing water conditions, shallow water, or areas where the bow height changes with waves and boat movement.
Power Trim also makes it easier to adjust the motor when transitioning between different fishing techniques or water depths.
Built-In Humminbird Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
The Ulterra 2 features an integrated Humminbird Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer, providing traditional 2D sonar without requiring an externally mounted transducer on the trolling motor.
When connected to a compatible Humminbird fish finder, the built-in sonar provides:
-
Dual Spectrum CHIRP: Detailed sonar returns for fish detection, bottom tracking, and underwater structure.
-
Target Separation: Helps distinguish individual fish and targets close to the bottom.
-
Concealed Transducer Wiring: Internal cable routing protects sonar wiring and maintains a clean trolling motor installation.
The integrated transducer keeps external wiring to a minimum while providing a convenient sonar source at the bow.
A compatible Humminbird fish finder and the appropriate sonar connection are required to use the built-in transducer.
Important: This model includes Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar only. It does not include built-in MEGA Side Imaging or MEGA Down Imaging.
Electric Steering with Wireless Remote and Foot Pedal
The Minn Kota Ulterra 2 uses an electric steering system with power steering for precise, responsive control.
The wireless remote provides access to steering, speed control, Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, automatic stow/deploy, Power Trim, and other supported GPS navigation features.
The programmable heel-toe electric foot pedal allows hands-free steering and speed adjustments while also providing dedicated control of the automatic stow/deploy and trim functions.
An 18-foot foot pedal cable provides flexibility when positioning the pedal at the bow.
Advanced GPS Boat Control
The Ulterra 2 features Minn Kota's advanced GPS trolling system for accurate positioning and automated navigation.
Improved Spot-Lock automatically maintains your boat's position over a selected fishing location, reducing the need for constant steering corrections.
Drift Mode combines GPS speed and course control to maintain a consistent drift path, even when wind and current change.
AutoPilot maintains a selected heading while the trolling motor makes steering adjustments.
Draw and Navigate allows anglers to create routes on compatible connected electronics and have the trolling motor follow the selected course.
Follow Mode works with compatible Humminbird mapping and electronics to follow supported depth contours and weed lines.
Intelligent Depth Control works with compatible connected electronics and supported shallow-water anchors to detect changing depths, provide alerts, and activate supported protective functions.
Certain advanced navigation features require compatible electronics, mapping, or additional connected equipment.
Digital Maximizer Battery Efficiency
The Ulterra 2 features Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer technology, providing variable-speed control to help conserve battery power.
Rather than operating at fixed speed settings, the motor allows anglers to make precise speed adjustments based on fishing conditions.
A built-in battery meter provides battery status information to help manage available power.
One-Boat Network Integration
The Ulterra 2 integrates with compatible Humminbird fish finders and supported Minn Kota equipment through the One-Boat Network.
Depending on the connected system, anglers can access supported trolling motor controls, GPS navigation features, and coordinated operation with compatible shallow-water anchors.
Additional networking accessories or compatible electronics may be required.
