I think an Ultrex is 80 pounds I was able to find shipping weights for the Ultrex in their FAQ. Site searches didn't yield any info regarding other models. When I purchased my Maxxum a few years back I was unable to come up with any weights by searching either.

rps Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Two years ago I switched from a Terrova to an Ulterra with I Pilot. I could kick myself for not getting the Link as well. Because of the knarly work arounds for the transducer, I use the universal and settle for 2D. The way I fish the boat, all I really need is depth and sometimes school of fish depth. I do not keep the foot pedal in the boat, but CARRY A SPARE FOB BATTERY! The comments about not quick deploy/stow are correct, but the raise and lower the unit depth arrow works quickly if you need to avoid underwater trouble. MinnKota's manual on deploy stow troubles: https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoors.com/sites/johnsonoutdoors-store/files/product/minbowmountl3/1102495/ProductManual/MIN_productmanual_Ulterra-BT-Manual-Stow.pdf?_ga=2.13174583.1483395041.1553981476-1367744418.1553981476 Having said the above, I am seriously considering switching to the Ultrex Mega transducer with I Pilot Link.
