Marine Engineering Specialist Insight: The QUEST series represents a total redesign of the Ulterra platform. By utilizing a brushless motor, this 45-inch model (MPN 1358540) provides 50% more torque and significantly longer run times, all while operating at nearly silent levels for the ultimate stealth approach.
The Brushless Revolution: Ulterra QUEST
The Minn Kota Ulterra QUEST (MPN: 1358540) is built for the most demanding freshwater environments. This motor features the revolutionary **Dual 24/36V sensing technology**, allowing it to deliver 90 lbs of thrust on a 24V system or a staggering 115 lbs on a 36V system. Combined with a reinforced 45-inch carbon fiber shaft, this motor is designed to handle extreme torque and heavy vegetation with ease.
Automation remains at the core of the Ulterra experience. With **Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim**, you can control the motor vertically and horizontally without ever touching the unit. The integrated **Dual Spectrum CHIRP (DSC)** sonar provides high-resolution 2D imaging, ensuring your Humminbird fish finder receives the clearest data possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need to manually switch between 24V and 36V?
No. The QUEST series features auto-sensing technology. Once connected to your battery bank, the motor automatically detects the voltage and optimizes performance for 90 lbs (24V) or 115 lbs (36V) of thrust.
2. Does the QUEST series fit standard Ulterra mounting holes?
Yes, while the chassis is slightly larger to accommodate the brushless motor, it is designed to be compatible with existing Ulterra mounting patterns.
