Minn Kota Ultrex QUEST Trolling Motors

The Minn Kota Ultrex QUEST is the choice of tournament anglers who refuse to give up cable-steer feel. While other premium trolling motors have moved to fully electric steering, Ultrex is built around a different philosophy: give anglers the instant, mechanical response of cable steering — and add the most advanced GPS and sonar technology available on top of it.

The QUEST platform takes that foundation further with a brushless motor architecture that delivers more torque, quieter operation, better battery efficiency, and greater durability than previous generations. The result is a trolling motor that feels exactly like the cable-steer motors tournament anglers have trusted for decades — and performs at a level no previous Ultrex could match.

Why Tournament Anglers Choose Ultrex QUEST

Most trolling motors ask you to choose between feel and features. Ultrex QUEST doesn't. It's the only premium bow-mount trolling motor that combines true cable-steer response with advanced GPS anchoring, integrated sonar, and One-Boat Network compatibility — all in a single integrated unit.

• Cable-steer feel — instant, mechanical response the moment your foot moves
• Power Steering — reduces steering effort without sacrificing response
• QUEST brushless platform — more torque, quieter operation, better efficiency
• Spot-Lock with Jog — GPS anchoring with 5-foot precision repositioning
• AutoPilot and Drift Mode — hands-free boat positioning
• Lift-Assist mount — smooth deployment and retrieval
• One-Boat Network — seamless Humminbird integration
• Integrated sonar — Dual Spectrum CHIRP or MEGA Down + Side Imaging
• Selectable 24V/36V — 90 lbs or 115 lbs of thrust from the same motor

Choose Your Sonar Package

Every Ultrex QUEST includes an integrated transducer — protected inside the lower unit, with no external mounting required. Choose the sonar package that matches how you fish.

Not sure which sonar is right for you? See our Sonar Comparison Guide in the Learning Center.

Choose Your Shaft Length

Shaft length determines prop depth — and prop depth determines how well your motor performs in rough water, on larger boats, and in conditions where the bow rises and falls. Choose the shaft that matches your boat and the water you fish.

See our Ultrex QUEST Shaft Length Guide for detailed recommendations by boat type and bow height.

Ultrex QUEST vs. Ulterra QUEST vs. Terrova QUEST

All three motors share the QUEST brushless platform. The difference is in how they steer — and that difference matters.

• Ultrex QUEST — Cable-steer with Power Steering. Instant mechanical response. The choice of tournament anglers who want to stay in control.
• Ulterra QUEST — Electric steer with Auto Stow & Deploy and Power Trim. Maximum automation. The choice of anglers who want the motor to do everything.
• Terrova QUEST — Electric steer without Auto Stow & Deploy. A versatile middle ground.

If you want the motor to feel like an extension of your foot pedal, choose Ultrex. If you want maximum automation, choose Ulterra.
