It was just announced at ICAST.  It is a Fortrex style cable steer trolling motor, but the cable drive is power assisted and it has I-Pilot or I-pilot link capabilities.

Here's the results for a google search for Minn Kota Ultrex You/tube   https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=minn+kota+ultrex+youtube (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=minn+kota+ultrex+youtube)

The Ipilot utilizes a new module that utilizes a HS GPS in addition to the GPS in the head unit to give a VERY accurate spot lock / anchor.

This new Ipilot is also going to available for the power drive and terrova.
