Standard highlights include Power Cable Steer, Instant Response foot pedal, Micro Remote, Lift-Assist, improved Spot-Lock, Advanced GPS, real-time battery monitoring, durable composite shaft and a choice of integrated sonar. The Ultrex 80 uses proven brushed-motor technology; QUEST brushless performance features are available on separate Ultrex QUEST models.

Mounting Details:
The Ultrex 80 bolts to the bow using appropriate mounting hardware. Installation requires a secure mounting surface and typically requires access beneath the deck to fasten the hardware. If access is limited, see our no-access mounting bolts. Minn Kota’s 2027 model list specifies the MKA-23 composite quick-release bracket for both shaft lengths, the MKA-61 aluminum bracket for 45" models, and the MKA-62 aluminum bracket for 52" models.
Motor Mount Dimensions:
Confirm the current 2027 mounting footprint and deck-clearance requirements using Minn Kota’s installation template for your specific shaft length before drilling.
Mounting Plate and Motor Dimensions:
Refer to the current Minn Kota Ultrex 80 installation template and dimensional drawing for the 2027 model before drilling. Previous-generation mounting diagrams have not been carried forward as verified 2027 dimensions.
Motor Voltage and Batteries:
The Ultrex 80 is a 24 volt motor and requires two (2), 12-volt marine batteries or (1) 24v LiFePO4 lithium battery (min 50AH rating). For more information on the proper batteries to purchase for your trolling motor, see our Trolling Motor Battery Selection Guide.
Motor Wiring Details:
The Ultrex 80 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 your Ultrex from control board damage 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 2 - 12v, lead acid or AGM batteries, they must be wired "in series" to create the proper voltage for this 24v motor. For instructions on how to properly wire 12v batteries in series, take a look at our 24v-36v trolling motor wiring diagram.
Power Lead Length:
Confirm power-lead length for the selected 2027 SKU.
Pedal Cord Length:
Confirm foot-pedal cable length for the selected 2027 SKU.
What Is Included:
- 2027 Ultrex 80 trolling motor with selected shaft length and integrated sonar
- Instant Response foot pedal

- Mounting hardware and manufacturer documentation
Confirm the complete included cable, sensor and adapter package for the selected SKU before listing additional accessories as standard.
What Else Is Required:
2 x deep cycle 12v AGM or 1 x 24v Lithium Batteries, Battery Charger and Circuit Breaker
Amperage Draw:
Consult Minn Kota’s 2027 electrical specifications for the maximum amperage draw of the selected motor.
Motor Run Time:
Run time depends on battery capacity and chemistry, boat load, current, wind and motor speed. Actual time on the water may be substantially longer than continuous full-throttle operation. See our guide to calculating trolling motor run time for planning estimates.
Stow and Deploy Method:
Ultrex motors feature a nitrogen charged gas spring that makes it incredibly easy to stow and deploy your trolling motor. This design is very similar to the lift-assist system on many vehicle tailgates and makes stowing and deploying the motor much easier.
Motor Steering Method:
Use the Instant Response foot pedal for precise hands-free steering. The included Micro Remote offers convenient wireless control; compatible Minn Kota/Humminbird fish finders and the Minn Kota Fishing App provide additional integrated controls. Available features depend on the connected device and software.
Shaft Adjustment:
An adjustable depth collar makes it easy to set how deep the shaft and propeller sit in the water.
Motor Speed:
All Ultrex motors have a variable speed motor.
Manuals:
Use the current Ultrex 80 (2027) owner’s manual and installation instructions for the selected SKU. Refer to Minn Kota’s official support documentation for the latest versions.
Warranty Period:
Refer to Minn Kota’s current written limited warranty for the 2027 Ultrex 80 and register your motor as directed by the manufacturer.
Warranty coverage and registration terms are governed by Minn Kota’s current warranty documentation. Find a Minn Kota service center.

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.

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!”
