Gps Bow Mount Trolling Motor

4 TurtleBoat
Background: I ’ ve owned 3 Ulterras from version 1 though the last version before Quest. All of them broke multiple times each. Steering modules and trim belts mostly but also a couple of trim modules. Installed the new Ulterra Quest about3 weeks ago on a Northwest style deep vee aluminum boat with a hardtop. The mount is huge and bow space is limited on this style of boat. Measure carefully before you commit to this motor. Also consider that the motor/mount protrudes very far out from the side of the boat. This iteration of the Ulterra seems to be built a lot tougher than the previous versions. The aluminum chassis looks about 3x thicker and the stow/deploy mechanism looks a lot more robust. The steering torque is many times greater. The holding torque is also greatly enhanced- will hold live image transducer mounted at 90 degrees to the motor in position even at high trolling speed( 5mph for me). The motor itself is much quieter than the previous versions and seems to be stronger- at least it pulls my boat faster- about 4. 5mph vs about 3. 2mph. The remote control is a bit of a disappointment. The display is almost unreadable while wearing sunglasses. The buttons, especially the side buttons are stiff and difficult to press. The remote is not intuitive to me, the combination of keys is cumbersome. I 'm sure I will get accustomed to it over time. Not having to charge it with that silly cable that never stayed connected is its biggest advantage from my point of view so far. Overall, I ’ m satisfied with the new motor. Time will tell if this is truly a more reliable motor and will let MinnKota earn back my trust.
