    So far on my 2017 Ultrex 112 36v I have....

    Replaced the steering cables, the battery for my Ipilot link remote and now the foot pedal control sensor went out. I now had to order a new remote for the Ipilot link because it will not turn on, even with a new battery. And of coarse it’s 4 yrs old and out of warranty!

    Welcome to the leading edge.

    I have a 2018. Replaced the board twice. New style in now. Hopefully solves my problems. At least all under warranty.

    Beat the hell out of mine. I'm surprised it runs at all.

    I figure a new trolling motor every 4 - 5 years is just part of the cost of having fun.

    No problems with cables or remote or batteries.

    Is there a way to tell an old board from the new board ?

    and this is why they continue to put out junk. We blindly accept it as normal and it is far form normal based on the price we pay. Glad you getting "4-5 years" while most get 6 months trouble free at best.
