Thanks for the suggestion. I have a 8.5 inch crank on it now. I could probably have clearance for a 10 inch crank arm, but that would only provide a 17% reduction in cranking force. My body is...

Thanks. I am still looking at their winches to see if I can find one that will work for my trailer. One thing I don't like about their winch is the quick change handle, which barely holds the handle...

I took your advice and oiled the shafts and greased the gear teeth on my current winch, that is 29 years old and came with my 1995 Ranger boat. It is made by Shelby, which is no longer in business. ...

The Fulton 2 speed 2600 lb winch that I purchased was made in China. But it didn't look cheap at all. It was built like a tank. Unfortunately, it would not fit my trailer.

I purchased a Fulton 2600 lb 2 speed winch. It is a high quality winch, but it is too large to fit on my trailer. I returned it and I am now looking for a smaller 2 speed winch that is shorter in...

Thanks for all of the replies. I am going to see if a Fulton winch will fit my trailer without additional modification.

I have a 1995 17 ft Ranger bass boat on a Ranger Trail trailer. I am 73 yrs old, and its getting difficult to winch the boat onto the trailer. The current winch has a 4.1 to 1 gear ratio. Does anyone...

Do you know if they have changed the Ulterra Quest design so that it doesn't wear down the composite shaft like the original Ulterra does?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I read that post. But it seems that all of that discussion is from people using Mega Live and the associated problems. I was wondering about the basic software performance for 2D, DI, SI and...

Has anyone had any issues with the October 2023 software update on a Helix 10 MSI G4N that is ONLY being used for 2D, DI, SI, and mapping, and not Mega Live, Target Lock, or 360? I haven't...

Thanks for the replies.

Just purchased a new Helix 10 SI G3N. The display is noticeably dimmer than my Helix 9 SI G3N. Also, the new Helix 10 display has a definite yellow tint compared to pure white on the Helix 9. Both...

I have exactly the same equipment and installation on my boat and I had exactly the same problem at high speed. I checked the sonar settings and discovered that the "Digital Depth Source" (or...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. It seems no one has used the mount from R&R design so I will probably get one of the others.

Has anyone had experience using the Trolling Motor Slide Mount from R&R Design for an Ulterra? It is both a slide mount and quick release. Appears to be well made, but just wanting to know if anyone...

Thanks for the information Wayne. I really appreciate all of the expert advice!

So I just select the "Built-in HW + MDI" transducer on the Helix SI unit and it will operate without damaging it?

Does anyone know if it is safe to connect a MinnKota Ulterra MDI built in transducer to a Helix 9 G3N MEGA+ SI unit? The Helix 9 SI unit will be sending SI signals to the transducer, but it is only a...

Thanks for all of the replies.

I am thinking about purchasing a new Ulterra for my boat. Is it possible to operate an Ulterra without the foot pedal connected? I want to know if you can operate it with all of the functions by...

Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. I appreciate the input!

Thanks for the reply. I will give that a try.

I want to upgrade my shoot-thru-hull 2D transducer to the newer XP 9 HW model. The current transducer is epoxied to the hull in a very good location. How hard is it to remove an old Humminbird...

Thanks for the advice, Wayne. I don't fish timber, just brushpiles for crappie, and open water for white bass and striper, so there is less of a chance for a stump impact.
