Has anyone had experience with the new MK Ultrex?  I'm curious how the new foot pedal feels and functions.  What are your thoughts?

If you scroll down to the thread titled, "Power Poles or Talons" there's a few comments regarding the Ultrex.  I bought one for my Z521c but haven't had a chance to use it yet.  

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing but my reasons for being sold might not parallel your needs.

I also posted a video that was on Facebook of it performing in a pretty good chop but there are quite a few others on youtube that address the different features and benefits.

I have used the Ultrex on a firends boat and if I could afford it I would put one on my Triton tomorrow.  I love the spot lock feature.

I own an Ultrex and fished it from July on last year.

Cons:

Have to use the built in transducer (no down or side scan)

Spot lock wanders a bit

Pros:

You do not need to leave the console to deploy

No strain on old or arthritic joints

Can troll by fob from the back

Sounds like you have an Ulterra, not an Ultrex. The Ultrex still has rope deploy like the Fortrex, hence the name. It also has an updated version of Ipilot that is supposed to be more accurate at holding on a spot than the Ipilot that came on the Powerdrive, Terrova and Ulterra. Consumers have only been able to get the Ultrex for maybe a month.

I have a few years minimum before I am in the market to upgrade my existing boat or replace my beloved Bass Cat, but I will be watching for practical reviews of the Ulterra and Ultrex.
