Quick Details
The Minn Kota Ultrex is still considered the trolling motor of choice for professional freshwater anglers; for good reason.
For those that prefer to use a foot pedal, the Ultrex offers the responsive pedal feel of a cable-steer motor combined with popular GPS features such as Spot Lock and Auto-Pilot.
When you pack all of this control and technology into a motor with rock solid construction, what more could ask for? How about a more powerful, whisper-quiet brushless motor with up to 115 lbs of max thrust?
The 2027 Ultrex QUEST continues with Minn Kota's powerful QUEST brushless motor. Its dual-voltage design delivers up to 90 lbs of thrust on 24V or 115 lbs on 36V, depending on how your boat is wired.
In addition to its responsive feel, the multifunction foot pedal on the Ultrex QUEST includes buttons for popular features such as Auto-Pilot and Spot Lock; all right there with one tap of the foot. When not using the foot pedal, use the key-fob style Micro Remote (included).
Minn Kota's Advanced GPS technology now includes improved Spot-Lock positioning, which Minn Kota says delivers up to a 50% tighter hold. New navigation capabilities include Draw and Navigate, Follow Mode and Intelligent Depth Control, alongside Drift Mode. Draw a course on a compatible fish finder and let the motor follow it; Intelligent Depth Control can alert you to shallow water and activate compatible positioning and anchoring equipment.
Choose built-in Dual Spectrum CHIRP (DSC) sonar or integrated MEGA Side & Down Imaging (MSI), depending on the model. Connect to compatible Humminbird and Minn Kota fish finders for an integrated fishing system. Compatible live sonar accessories may be added separately; verify fit and accessory compatibility for your configuration.

Ultrex QUEST (2027) Full Details
Recommended for:
Medium to large freshwater, bass boats, v-hull, pontoon, jon boats and general fishing boats. When wired for 24v, you'll have 90 lbs of max thrust on tap which provides enough power for boats weighing up to 4,500 lbs. When wired for 36v, you'll have 115 lbs of max thrust which provides enough power for boats weighing up to 10,000 lbs. For more help picking the right thrust level please refer to our guide on Selecting the Right Trolling Motor Thrust.
How It's Unique
The Ultrex QUEST trolling motor is the Porsche of foot control motors - there is no substitute - and is a big step up from the classic, cable-steer Minn Kota Fortrex.
In addition to its QUEST brushless motor, the Ultrex combines the familiar feel of a cable-steer foot pedal with GPS positioning and navigation. The 2027 model adds Instant Response Steering and an Instant Response foot pedal, providing more immediate control while retaining Spot-Lock and AutoPilot convenience.
We still recommend the Fortrex trolling motor for fishermen who are looking for a top-shelf cable steer motor but have no need for a brushless motor or GPS technology features such as Spot Lock. The Fortrex is available in 80 and 112 lb thrust levels.

Mounting Details:
This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware and requires securing 6 bolts into the hull for installation. Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware.
The Ultrex QUEST is a bit heavier and more powerful than most trolling motors. Due to the weight and torque, deck reinforcement may be required prior to mounting the motor. For more information, click here to download the Ultrex QUEST installation instructions. Recommended Quick Release Brackets: For models with a 45" shaft select the Minn Kota MKA-61. For models with 52" and 60" shaft lengths select the MKA-62 bracket.
Motor Mount Dimensions:
26 11/16" x 6 1/16" (45" shaft) OR 30 7/16" x 6 1/16" (52"/60" shaft)
Mounting Plate and Motor Dimensions:
Motor Voltage and Batteries:
Motor Wiring Details:
The motor can be wired directly to the batteries or it can be used in conjunction with a trolling motor power plug and receptacle for a cleaner, more professional looking installation. If using a quick release bracket, a plug and receptacle will also allow you to easily plug and unplug the motor from the batteries for easy removal and re-mounting.
To protect the motor from electrical damage due to "amperage spikes", installing a 60amp circuit breaker is highly recommended.
Shielded, marine grade wiring should be used to connect the motor to the power source (aka batteries!). To determine the appropriate gauge wiring download this circuit breaker and wiring table.
If using lead acid or AGM batteries, they must be wired "in series". For instructions on how to properly wire 12v batteries in series, take a look at our 24v-36v trolling motor wiring diagram.

Motor Run Time:
Important Note: Calculating run time is very difficult due to the many factors involved. As you likely won't be running your trolling motor 100% of the time, the actual amount of on-the-water time will be longer than continuous run times listed below. Trolling motor run time can vary depending on the boat, operating conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated battery. To learn more, please see our article on Calculating Trolling Motor Run Time.
Actual run time varies with battery capacity, boat load, speed, wind and current. Model-specific Q2 run-time estimates have not yet been verified.
Stow and Deploy Method:
Ultrex QUEST motors feature a nitrogen charged gas spring that makes it easy to stow and deploy. This design is very similar to the hydraulic mechanisms on many vehicle tailgates.
Motor Steering Method:
The motor is steered via the the Ultrex Power Cable Steer Foot Pedal, compact Advanced GPS Micro remote or Minn Kota's One Boat Network smartphone app. If networked with a compatible Humminbird fishfinder, you can also control all motor functions as well as additional auto-navigation and mapping features.
NOTE: The Ultrex Micro Remote offers basic controls, Spot Lock, Auto-Pilot, Jog and High-Speed Overpass. To access all Advanced GPS functions, a full size Advanced GPS Remote is available for purchase. As mentioned above, full functionality is also available with the One Boat Network smartphone app or a compatible Humminbird.
Shaft Adjustment:
An adjustable depth collar makes it easy raise and lower the prop height for optimal depth depending on your fishing conditions.
Motor Speed:
All Ultrex motors have a variable speed motor.
Manuals:
Warranty Period:
Two Years - A 3rd year is available to owners who register their motors with Minn Kota
Warranty Details:
The motor's composite shaft carries a lifetime guarantee. If it's ever broken - regardless of the circumstances - Minn Kota will replace it at no charge. The rest of the motor carries a two year warranty (3 years when registered with Minn Kota) backed up by hundreds of local Minn Kota service centers across the country. View Details Here

What fishermen are saying…
i-Pilot is like magic. Like a magician in a black cape standing next to me in my boat sprinkling pixie dust and saying, “Abracadabra! More fish!” Thanks TrollingMotors.net for making this magical purchase so easy and fun. You guys are the best.
Phil in Arcadia, FL
Why buy from Bass Pro or Cabelas when you can buy from these guys? From start to finish this was one of the best, if not the best, online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. The owner answered all my questions, the prices were great, and the motor arrived in two days. Don’t buy anywhere else.
Jason in Lake Charles, TX
"The personal service provided was fantastic. They responded very quickly to my emails and phone calls. The order was delivered faster than expected. I will definitely (and already have) told others that this is the only place to go for trolling motors.”
Alan in Metairie, LA
"My $1,700 Terrova 80 i-Pilot purchase was a big investment so I was a little nervous ordering my motor online, but I'm sure glad I chose TrollingMotors.net! Not only did they have the motor I was looking for, but I also saved a lot of money. Oh, and the motor arrived the next day. Keep up the great work, guys!”
