The Minn Kota Ulterra Trolling Motor User Manual provides operating instructions, foot pedal functions, power procedures, and safety warnings.
This manual explains how to control the Ulterra trolling motor using either the i‑Pilot/i‑Pilot Link wireless remote or the foot pedal. It details the two pedal modes—Ulterra Mode and Normal Mode—and the functions each mode provides, such as stow, deploy, trim, Spot‑Lock, and AutoPilot.
It also covers power‑on and power‑off procedures, status indicators, software update guidance, and important safety warnings. The motor must be turned on manually via the power button on its base, and it will automatically shut off after 1.5 hours of inactivity when stowed.
