With the push of a button or the tap of a pedal, Minn Kota has eliminated the need for anglers to physically deploy or stow their trolling motors any longer.

With the introduction of the Ulterra at ICAST over the summer, Minn Kota brought some revolutionary features to the bow-mount motor market. The Ulterra is equipped for fully automated stow and deploy, meaning no more pull cords or shoulder strain when it's time to move to the next waypoint.

In addition, the Ulterra includes power trim, which raises and lowers the depth of the motor with the push of a button. These functions, controlled wirelessly with either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote control or foot pedal, make boat control a breeze.

All Ulterra motors will also come with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link, and a new multi-function, corded foot pedal with a dedicated Spot-Lock button.

The Ulterra will be available this fall and will come in 80- and 112-pound thrust models with 45- and 60-inch shafts. The MSRP will fall between $1,989.99 and $2,549.99. For more information, click here.
