Built-In Humminbird MEGA Down Imaging
The Ultrex 2 features an integrated Humminbird MEGA Down Imaging transducer, providing detailed underwater imaging without requiring an externally mounted sonar transducer on the trolling motor.
When connected to a compatible Humminbird fish finder, the built-in sonar supports:
-
MEGA Down Imaging: Provides detailed views of fish, structure, and cover directly beneath the boat.
-
Dual Spectrum CHIRP: Delivers traditional 2D sonar for fish detection, bottom tracking, and target separation.
-
Concealed Transducer Wiring: Internal cable routing helps protect sonar wiring and maintain a clean trolling motor installation.
The integrated transducer allows anglers to take advantage of Humminbird sonar technology while keeping external wiring to a minimum.
A compatible Humminbird fish finder and the appropriate sonar connection are required to use the built-in imaging capabilities.
Important: This is the MEGA Down Imaging version of the Ultrex 2. It provides Down Imaging and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar but does not include built-in MEGA Side 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 power steering system reduces steering effort while maintaining the responsiveness preferred by bass anglers.
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 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.
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, 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 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.
