Just purchased a gently used 2017 Triton in June. Owner put an Ultrex on it in 2018. Love the boat but the Ultrex has me confused. Contacted MK and naturally all I got was the warranty was not transferable which is in black and white on their website so not arguing that point. Just have a motor that's maybe a year old but frustrating.
Multiple issues
- The foot switch works for a while, then changes and won’t engage and then other times sticks and won’t disengage. All of which will change throughout a normal day of fishing. Works sometimes like it should and then starts acting up for no apparent reason. Thinking maybe just the heat of the day and temps affect the foot switch maybe.
- Spot lock is sketchy. I can activate it and it will work for a random period of time and then start drifting off the spot and wont try to go back to it.
- The motor seems like its surging at times. Its like quick short bursts of on/off/on/off almost gives the sensation that the motor is “skipping” like a car motor might do. Maybe related to the switch issue as well.
I have (2) new 34series Optimas on the motor. Doubt its the batteries but who knows? I was excited about this Ultrex originally but honestly have little confidence in it now.
I guess only option is the MK service center since MK says not their problem.
Sorry for the vent session, just looking for ideas.
