    New Ulterra 112#,45in

    I had an old maxxum 101 on my boat and I just purchased a new ulterra 112. One major problem I had with the maxxum was that the shaft would get tossed around like crazy while running in rough water and it led to many issues with the maxxum. Am I gonna have a similar issue with the ulterra and if so how can I stop it from happening?

    I would recommend a MKA-55 Stabilizer. Works well although the rubber strap will wear. I have it on my Terrova works well. Going to Ultrex next week but going to sell with unit.

    I also have an ulterra and wanting to get a support. My problem is the middle of the shaft is where I’d have to put it. Do you think it would do me any good there?

    Does that keep it from bouncing?

    How do you install it? Do you stow the motor then put it in place?
