Quick Details
Choose a 45" or 60" shaft with either integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar or MEGA Down Imaging. Every configuration includes a wireless remote and heel/toe foot pedal. The Ulterra 80 remains a freshwater trolling motor with automatic stow/deploy, power trim and a durable composite shaft.
For 2027, Ulterra combines its proven 24V, 80 lb brushed motor with Minn Kota's updated Advanced GPS system. Improved Spot-Lock delivers up to a 50% tighter hold, while Draw and Navigate, Follow Mode, Drift Mode and Intelligent Depth Control offer new ways to manage your position and course. Wireless connectivity with compatible Minn Kota fish finders powered by Humminbird Imaging helps bring navigation and motor control together.
The Minn Kota Ulterra 80 (2027) makes boat control effortless with automatic stow, deploy and power trim—all at the push of a button. Whether you fish alone or simply prefer to stay at the console, Ulterra lets you spend less time handling your trolling motor and more time fishing.
Ulterra 80 (2027) Full Details
Recommended for:
Medium freshwater fishing boats, Deep-V hulls, pontoons, fish-and-ski boats and similar applications. The 24V Ulterra 80 provides 80 lbs of thrust; actual suitability depends on loaded boat weight, hull design, wind and current. For help choosing thrust, see our Trolling Motor Thrust Guide.
How It's Unique
Like the Minn Kota Terrova, the Ulterra 80 offers Advanced GPS boat control. The difference is Ulterra's automatic stow and deploy plus power trim: raise, lower and adjust motor depth without manually handling the motor at the bow.
The 2027 Ulterra also adds improved Spot-Lock, Draw and Navigate, Follow Mode, Drift Mode and Intelligent Depth Control. These features make it particularly appealing for anglers who fish alone or frequently reposition throughout the day.
