Minn Kota/ Motor Guide trolling motors

Thanks RPS. I was going to do that. There are a couple of good U-tube videos on that. But unfortunately that flat lift assist spring ruined that plan. I pulled that apart with out thinking about it. You talking about a moment of panic. lol. But eventually got it all put back together correctly.

Well is seems that MK is the only one that would work for me.  Unfortunately I have some serious coin tied up in Lowrance HDS units so I won't be going that way.  I looked at the Xi5.  I can not see it being any easier to deploy and stow that what I have so I have lost interest in it.  

Talking to some reputable sources it seems that Lowrance may be coming out with their own trolling motor in the near future so I guess I'll just wait and see.

 

Thanks for all of the replies.

I doubt it will be too soon but look out for when they come out with upgraded versions of the Ulterra. I bought the older version last year when they were about to launch the new version with the digital remote and maybe Bluetooth was an added option, not sure. Wholesalers online were having sales on them for around 40% off before the updated motor came out. I had just bought a new boat so I wouldn't have been able to justify that purchase otherwise

The new ultrex's that are coming out soon will have DI transducer's built in.

I was going to but an ultrex but used that money to buy another bass boat...lol...so i guess now i need to change my name to 2 champ man.
