Minn Kota Quest Trolling Motor Review: NO SPONSOR BIAS - Deets you need to know

NO SPONSOR BIAS ALLOWED
Review from our ProStaff member Jake Boomer, and our exceptional boat rigging professional, Blake Lesher. 45" Minn Kota Ultrex Quest installed on a 2019 Pheonix 921ProXP.

How much does it weigh, what will you have to change or upgrade. Interview with Brandon Palaniuk as well.

This trolling motor enters the world, unlike the original Ultrex, with massive market competition. Three major players have provided options to boat buyers needing powerful trolling motors for chasing bass. With the explosion of forward facing sonar, motor design isn't just about pulling the boat along quietly. Designers are now looking to enhance targeting and play in the pedal and head unit.

Check out this review from the Limit Out Marine team before buying you next trolling motor.

That was an excellent review by Jake and Blake. Thanks very much for all the features and benefits about the new improved Ultrex trolling motor. I wish I had one on my boat! I also loved Brandon’s on the water insight about the product- good stuff!👍🏻😊

Great review. The lack of slop is a huge deal. Some of the other Tm’s are sloppy Joe’s.

With the automatic stow, can you override that? For example, there are times in shallow water I may pick up the motor but just a smidge to get me out of the shallow water or often when loading the boat up on the trailer. To get over the initial trailer I like to pull up on the motor using the hand cable but keep going a little until the motor gets over the bunk - unsure if that makes any sense in writing. Ideally, I could pull up a smidge on the rope to slightly raise the motor to keep going in really shallow areas without it going into the stow position. Or can you pull up on the hand cable and just use your foot and steer some to override it without it going into stow? How high can you pull it up before it goes into the stow position? Thanks in advance for replies

Side note
I see Suzuki on many boats in the background. I know not Uber fast but how is the holeshot and performance that matters for average folks. Considering putting one on my 520C Ranger.

Ty!

I have a question I have a Ulterra Quest the head starts shaking back and forth makes a lot of noise Garmin says that normal does anyone have a fix??

[DrJeffM]

Do you think this will work on a pontoon?

[robertprice]

If you are replacing the old Ultrex with the Quest will the mounting holes line up or do you have to drill new holes I do understand that the holes will have to be bigger

[herbendries]

What is shaft diameter. can you get longer screws for Garmin mounts, or have to buy $30 square brackets and stainless bolts?

[markclaerhout]

What brand and where did you get the 360 adapter bracket?
