Product Description
Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra Trolling Motor
The Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra is built for anglers who want top-tier boat control without crawling around on the bow. With fully automatic deploy and stow, the Ulterra is a serious saltwater trolling motor designed to work at the push of a button.
It’s a popular choice for offshore and inshore fishos who fish solo, fish shorthanded, or just want everything to work smoothly when conditions turn on. When set up properly, the Ulterra is rock solid for GPS anchoring, tracking and precise positioning.
Available Ulterra Configurations
- 80 lb thrust – 24V systems
- 112 lb thrust – 36V systems
- Multiple shaft lengths to suit different hulls and freeboard
- i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link control options
Why Correct Ulterra Setup Matters
Ulterra motors are more complex than standard bow-mounts. Thrust selection, shaft length, battery capacity and wiring quality all play a major role in how well the motor deploys, stows and holds position.
