Discover the Freedom of Hands-Free Fishing with Ulterra

Imagine launching your boat, deploying your trolling motor with a single button press, and spending the entire day chasing fish without ever laying a hand on the mount. That's the reality with this powerhouse bow-mount trolling motor. Engineered for serious anglers who demand precision and convenience, it combines brute 112-pound thrust with smart GPS technology to keep you locked on structure, even when winds kick up or currents fight back. Whether you're working deep water points or shallow weedlines, this motor transforms chaotic drifts into controlled presentations, letting you focus on what matters: hooking more fish.

Revolutionary Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim

The standout innovation here is the effortless Auto Stow/Deploy system. From the i-Pilot remote, the multi-function foot pedal, or even compatible fish finders, you command the motor to rise or drop into the water silently and smoothly. No more wrestling with heavy gear at the bow. Pair it with Power Trim, and you fine-tune depth on the fly—ideal for adapting to choppy conditions or targeting suspended fish at varying levels. Anglers report saving precious minutes each trip, which adds up to more lines in the water over a season.

i-Pilot GPS: Your On-Water Copilot

At its core lies the i-Pilot GPS trolling system, enhanced with Bluetooth for seamless smartphone integration. Set Spot-Lock to anchor precisely over honey holes; the advanced algorithm holds position within feet, countering drift like an electronic anchor. Jog function lets you nudge five feet in any direction without resetting. Record and replay productive paths with cruise control, or engage AutoPilot to steer hands-free toward waypoints. The larger remote screen displays battery status, heading, and controls intuitively, while the app handles updates and quick commands—perfect for solo operators or tournament pros.

Pro tip: In windy bays, combine Spot-Lock with the heading sensor for rock-solid stability, outperforming traditional drift socks in precision.

Stealthy Power and Efficiency

Digital Maximizer technology squeezes every amp from your 36-volt batteries, delivering up to five times longer runtime compared to conventional motors. Variable speed control matches power output to your needs, conserving energy for all-day adventures. The integrated battery meter on the remote keeps you informed, preventing surprise cut-offs far from the ramp.

Cool, quiet operation stems from oversized windings and advanced bearings, minimizing noise to avoid spooking wary bass or walleye. The Weedless Wedge 2 prop with swept-back blades powers through thick vegetation without stalling, a game-changer in weedy lakes where others bog down.

Universal Sonar 2 Integration

Wiring stays hidden and protected inside the shaft, supporting dual-beam or advanced transducers. This clean setup reduces clutter at the bow, enhancing your deck's fishability while providing reliable sonar data straight to your electronics. It's a favorite among Humminbird users for plug-and-play compatibility.

Built to Withstand the Elements

The indestructible composite shaft flexes on impact but never kinks or corrodes—backed by a lifetime guarantee. Heel-toe electric foot pedal offers responsive steering with stow, deploy, and Spot-Lock shortcuts, all via an 18-foot cable for flexible positioning. This 72-inch shaft suits larger freshwater vessels, from multi-species rigs to big bass boats.

Real-World Performance Tips

• Weed Management: Run at mid-speed through cabbage to let the prop shed debris; throttle up only for breakthroughs.
• Battery Optimization: Match charge levels across three 12-volt deep-cycle batteries and monitor via the remote to avoid imbalances.
• Spot-Lock Mastery: Use in 5-15 mph winds for best results; pair with forward-facing sonar for live bait hovering over schools.
• Maintenance Edge: Rinse with freshwater after brackish trips; inspect prop for nicks to maintain thrust efficiency.

Anglers upgrading from manual-deploy motors rave about the time savings and consistency, often citing it as the best investment for competitive fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Auto Stow/Deploy feature stand out?

It automates lifting the motor in and out of the water via remote, foot pedal, or compatible displays, eliminating manual effort and speeding up launches or trailering.

How accurate is Spot-Lock in tough conditions?

Exceptionally precise, holding within a few feet against wind and current, thanks to GPS and heading sensor integration—far superior to drift anchors.

Does it work with smartphone apps?

Yes, Bluetooth connectivity links to iOS or Android apps for speed, steering, Spot-Lock control, and firmware updates without the remote.

What's the benefit of Digital Maximizer?

It optimizes power draw for variable speeds, extending battery life up to 5x, so you fish longer without recharging mid-day.

Can the prop handle heavy weeds?

Absolutely—the Weedless Wedge 2 design with flared blades pushes vegetation aside instead of chopping it, maintaining thrust and efficiency.

Is the foot pedal intuitive for new users?

Heel-toe design mimics traditional pedals for steering, with added buttons for stow/deploy, trim, and instant Spot-Lock activation.

What shaft length is best for my boat?

The 72-inch shaft excels on larger freshwater boats (18-24 feet), providing deep propeller submersion in rough water without cavitation.

Only Ulterra(R) features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, as well as your choice of i-Pilot(R) or i-Pilot Link™, and a multi-function foot pedal. You can stow, deploy and trim Ulterra from the remote or the foot pedal, meaning you never have to touch your motor again — unless you want to high-five it.
