Built-In Humminbird Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
The Ultrex 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 2D sonar returns for fish detection, bottom tracking, and underwater structure.
-
Improved 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 is designed for use with compatible Humminbird electronics. The appropriate sonar connection may be required depending on the fish finder.
Important: This model includes Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar only. It does not include built-in MEGA Side Imaging or MEGA Down Imaging.
Cable Steering with Power Steering
The Minn Kota Ultrex 2 combines the familiar feel of traditional cable steering with power-assisted operation.
The Instant Response heel-toe foot pedal provides precise steering control, allowing anglers to maneuver around docks, laydowns, vegetation, and other fish-holding structure.
The motor maintains its steering position when pressure is removed from the pedal, reducing unwanted steering movement and allowing anglers to focus on fishing.
The programmable foot pedal button can be assigned to supported functions such as marking a waypoint, activating AutoPilot, or operating compatible shallow-water anchors.
Advanced GPS Boat Control
The Ultrex 2 features Minn Kota's advanced GPS trolling system for precise 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.
Micro Remote Control
The Ultrex 2 includes Minn Kota's compact wireless Micro Remote, allowing anglers to access supported GPS trolling motor functions without remaining at the foot pedal.
The Micro Remote is a convenient secondary control option for activating Spot-Lock and managing supported navigation features while moving around the boat.
The included Instant Response foot pedal remains the primary steering control.
Lift-Assist Stow & Deploy
The Ultrex 2 features Minn Kota's Lift-Assist system, which uses a stainless steel, nitrogen gas-charged spring to reduce the effort required to raise and lower the trolling motor.
This makes manual stowing and deployment easier throughout the fishing day.
The Ultrex 2 does not feature automatic stow/deploy or electronic power trim.
Digital Maximizer Battery Efficiency
The Ultrex 2 features Minn Kota's Digital Maximizer technology, which provides 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 Ultrex 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.
