Bow mount trolling motors
Minn Kota Ulterra with MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Link, 60 inch shaft: published specifications
Quick answer
The Minn Kota Ulterra with MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Link, 60 inch shaft publishes 3 specifications and currently lists at $3,299.99. shaft length 60 in, mounting Bow, deployment Power stow and deploy. Every figure below is the manufacturer own, and nothing on this page is estimated.
Deploys, stows and trims itself from the remote, which is the difference between using a bow motor and reaching over the bow rail to wrestle one.
This sheet exists because comparing two pieces of marine equipment usually means opening two listings in two tabs and reading past the marketing. Everything Minn Kota publishes for this unit is in one table below, followed by the same figures for the nearest alternatives in its category.

What the manufacturer says
The listing bullets below are the manufacturer own words, reproduced rather than paraphrased so that anything claimed here can be attributed to them rather than to us.
These are Minn Kota own claims for the Minn Kota Ulterra with MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Link, 60 inch shaft, quoted rather than rewritten.
Published figure A published engineering, regulatory or manufacturer figure. It does not change because somebody disagrees with it.
| Manufacturer claim |

| The only trolling motor that can automatically stow and deploy itself with the push of a button, the Minn Kota Ultra provides convenient control via the included I-Pilot Link remote, foot pedal, or Hummingbird fish finder (sold separately). |
| Trim the Ultra up or down at the push of a button to adjust to changing fishing conditions. |
| Using GPS to lock onto fishing spots with Spot-Lock, record paths, and command speed, the I-Pilot Link system allows you to control your motor from the touchscreen remote or from a virtual remote on your Hummingbird fish finder (sold separately). |
| This Ulterra features a built-in transducer with Hummingbird MEGA Down Imaging (DI), which provides crystal-clear coverage down to 125 feet below your boat so you can easily distinguish fish from structure and even target individual species. |
| This Minn Kota Ultra has a 60-inch shaft length, features 80 pounds of thrust (24 volts), and includes a multi-function foot pedal, heading sensor, mounting hardware and cabling, and I-Pilot Link GPS system. |
Against the nearest alternatives
The closest products by price in the same category, with the same published figures side by side. A cell reading "not published" means that maker does not state the figure, which is frequently the most useful thing on the row.

Every figure above is the manufacturer own published specification. Where a maker does not publish a figure the cell reads "not published" rather than carrying an estimate, because on ratings and currents an estimate that reads as a specification is a safety problem rather than a gap.
What is not on this page
Anything Minn Kota does not publish. We do not estimate a missing figure, interpolate one from a neighbouring model, or repeat a number from a forum. In this category the specifications are ratings and currents, and a reader comparing two products on a grid cannot tell a published rating from an estimate, so an estimate that reads as a specification is a safety problem rather than a gap.
If a figure you need is missing here, it is missing from the manufacturer own listing, and the place to find it is the product manual or the maker technical support rather than any third party table.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Minn Kota Ulterra with MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Link, 60 inch shaft specifications?
Minn Kota publishes 3 figures for this unit: shaft length 60 in, mounting Bow, deployment Power stow and deploy. Everything in the table above comes from the manufacturer own listing rather than from measurement or estimation, and anything the maker does not publish is left out rather than guessed at.
How much does the Minn Kota Ulterra with MEGA Down Imaging and i-Pilot Link, 60 inch shaft cost?
It currently lists at $3,299.99, though prices in this category move constantly and the figure on the product page is the one that governs. Where two products are close on price, the specification table above is usually a better guide to which is right for your boat than the difference between them.
Are these figures measured or published?
Published. Every number on this page comes from the Minn Kota listing for this exact unit. We do not test equipment in person and we never claim to, and nothing here has been derived, interpolated or rounded from another model. That is also why some rows in the comparison table read "not published" rather than carrying a number.
Why do some comparison cells say not published?
Because that manufacturer does not state that figure for that product. Makers publish different subsets of specifications, and rather than fill the gap with an estimate we leave it visible. On ratings, currents and capacities an estimate that reads as a specification is how somebody ends up with equipment that does not do what they believed it would.
Is this the current model?
It is the unit at this listing, which is the most reliable way to identify a specific product in a category where model names get reused across generations. Manufacturers frequently sell several generations alongside each other, so check the model number in the title against the one you are comparing rather than relying on the family name.

Researched, not professional advice. This page is compiled from published engineering and regulatory figures, manufacturer specifications and owner-review consensus, not hands-on testing. Figures described as a rule of thumb are boating convention rather than published standards, and they are labelled that way wherever they appear. Marine electrical work is not house wiring. Use tinned, finely stranded marine cable, size it for voltage drop and for the ABYC E-11 ampacity table rather than one or the other, and put overcurrent protection within seven inches of the battery positive terminal, because everything between the post and the fuse is unprotected. A lithium battery needs a charger with a lithium profile. Never load a boat past its capacity plate, and remember that canoes and kayaks carry no federal capacity plate at all, so their stated capacity is the manufacturer own figure. Wear the life jacket, and treat early season water as the hazard it is: cold water immersion takes your breath and then your hands long before it takes your core.
