    80/112 Ultrex Mounts

    Just purchased a new boat. It has an 80 lb. Ultrex installed as purchased. I have a 112 Ultrex that I am going to replace the 80 with.

    Can I leave the 80 lb. mount on the new boat and just swap out the motors?

    I see no difference other than potentially different gas cylinders.

    Save a lot of work.

    Just the gas piston is different if the shaft lengths are the same.

    I just replaced the piston on my 80# with the 112# one to offset the weight of the 360.

    Have not used the motor since I made the change.

    I got it from Minnkota---27.80 plus shipping.
