    Ultrex on XB 2003

    Hey Guys, My buddy has a 2001 XB2003. I'm wanted to know if any of you guys have installed the new ultrex on this boat and if so, what where the issues? He's concerned about the weight and length of the unit.

    I at one time ran a 54" Fortrex on mine. Didn't seem to affect drivability at all. I now run a 45" 80# Terrova. I felt like it would do what I needed to as far as giving me spot lock. Plus, The foot pedal is low profile and you would not have to cut the deck for the foot pedal. The foot pedal operates the same way as the cable steer Heel down it turns one direction toe down it goes the other direction. The electric steer isn't like cable is as far as the speed it operates or the responsiveness but, after using it and getting use to it its not a deal breaker for me anyway.
