Marine Engineering Specialist Insight: The Ultrex 112 (MPN 1368896) featuring a 52-inch shaft is often considered the "perfect fit" for large bass boats and multi-species vessels. It provides enough length to stay submerged in rough water while remaining low-profile enough for shallow-water stealth. This hybrid system delivers the physical cable-steer connection tournament pros demand with the digital precision of Spot-Lock.
The Ultimate Hybrid: Cable-Steer Feel, GPS Precision
The Minn Kota Ultrex 112 (MPN: 1368896) combines the best of both worlds. The Power Steering foot pedal provides the instantaneous, tactile response of a traditional cable-steer motor but with an electronic assist that eliminates steering torque and fatigue. When you find the perfect spot, engage Spot-Lock® to stay pinned on your coordinates with unmatched GPS accuracy.
This 36-volt powerhouse produces a massive 112 lbs of thrust, making it the premier choice for heavy wind, strong currents, and thick mats of vegetation. Integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP (DSC) sonar ensures your Humminbird unit receives crystal-clear underwater imaging without external wires. The included Micro Remote offers a compact, wearable solution for controlling Spot-Lock, speed, and heading from anywhere on your boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I choose the 52-inch shaft over the 45-inch?
The 52-inch shaft (MPN 1368896) is ideal if you frequently fish in choppy water or have a boat with a slightly higher bow. It ensures the prop stays submerged during waves while still being manageable for shallow-water flipping and pitching.
2. Is the Micro Remote the only way to control it?
No. The Ultrex is primarily controlled by the advanced Power Steering foot pedal. The Micro Remote acts as a convenient secondary controller for GPS features, and you can also control the motor through a compatible Humminbird unit.
