Boat Control That Keeps You Fishing

Deploy at the push of a button, adjust motor depth as conditions change and hold over productive water with GPS positioning. Ulterra QUEST brings brushless performance, automated motor adjustments and connected navigation together in a freshwater fishing system.

Improved Spot-Lock

Minn Kota describes the improved Spot-Lock as delivering up to a 50% tighter hold to your spot. GPS positioning helps keep your boat over productive water without continuous manual motor corrections.

Intelligent Depth Control

Intelligent Depth Control detects depth changes and alerts you to shallow water. With the required compatible equipment and setup, it can automatically engage Spot-Lock and deploy connected shallow water anchors. Confirm fish finder, depth-data and anchor compatibility before planning your system.

Draw and Navigate and Follow Mode

Draw a course on a compatible connected fish finder screen and let the motor navigate it. Follow Mode automatically follows supported depth contours and weed lines to help keep your bait in productive water. These functions require compatible equipment, mapping where applicable and appropriate system configuration.

Wireless Connectivity and a Connected Fishing System

Built-in wireless connectivity simplifies integration with compatible Minn Kota equipment. Supported fish finders, maps, sonar powered by Humminbird Imaging and shallow water anchors work with the motor to translate compatible sonar and mapping information into boat-positioning functions.

Control options include the wireless remote, foot pedal, Minn Kota Fishing App and compatible Minn Kota or Humminbird fish finders. Feature availability depends on connected equipment and setup. Wireless navigation connectivity does not eliminate the need for a compatible sonar connection or any required adapters. An Ethernet cable is included in the supplied box contents.

Instant Response Steering and Programmable Foot-Pedal Control

The included heel-toe electric foot pedal offers responsive steering and hands-free access to stow, deploy and trim. A programmable button keeps supported functions close at hand, including marking a waypoint, engaging AutoPilot and deploying or retracting compatible Minn Kota shallow water anchors. Accessory-dependent functions require compatible connected equipment.

QUEST Brushless Performance

QUEST combines dual-voltage 24/36V brushless motor technology with redesigned mounts, propellers, drive motors and software. Minn Kota's supplied QUEST series performance claims include 50% more torque and 30% longer run time. Actual performance and run time vary with batteries, conditions and use.

Automatic Stow, Deploy and Power Trim

Stow or deploy Ulterra at the push of a button using supported controls. Power Trim raises or lowers the motor without reaching down to it, letting you adapt to changing water depth from the foot pedal, wireless remote, app or a compatible fish finder.

Drift Mode and Advanced GPS Navigation

Drift Mode automatically combines speed and course control to help manage drift path and speed in wind and current. The Advanced GPS Trolling System also supports Spot-Lock, path recording, speed control and steering. Take command from the wireless remote's easy-to-read LCD screen. AutoPilot is supported.

Shallow Water Protection

A clutch system is designed to help protect the motor from accidental bottom strikes. It complements careful operation and appropriate motor depth; continue monitoring shallow-water conditions.

Built-In Dual Spectrum CHIRP

Powered by Humminbird Imaging, Dual Spectrum CHIRP provides detailed 2D sonar with target separation across a wide range of frequencies. The transducer and wiring are concealed and protected through the motor's shaft.

This model includes Dual Spectrum CHIRP, not built-in side imaging or down imaging. Confirm fish finder compatibility and any required sonar adapters before installation.

Real-Time Battery Monitoring

Check battery power while the motor is running, including a real-time time-until-empty display. A notification at 20% remaining power prompts you to enter Eco Mode, which can reduce current draw to extend battery life. Digital Maximizer is also included.

Carbon-Fiber-Infused Shaft and Warranty

The 45-inch carbon-fiber-infused composite shaft carries Minn Kota's lifetime shaft guarantee. The motor includes a two-year limited warranty, extended to a three-year limited warranty with product registration. The lifetime shaft guarantee is separate and does not mean the entire motor is covered for life.

Batteries, charging equipment, fish finders and shallow water anchors are not listed in the supplied factory box contents.

Choose the Right Shaft and Power System

Choose the 45-inch shaft using your boat's loaded bow-to-water measurement and expected fishing conditions, rather than boat length alone. Allow for bow movement in waves and follow Minn Kota's sizing recommendations.

Match your battery system, charging equipment and electrical installation to the intended 24V or 36V operation and manufacturer requirements. Maximum amp draw is 60 A; that figure alone is not a complete wiring or circuit-protection recommendation.
