Anyone mounted a Ghost on a Cougar/Puma?
Thinking of pulling my Ultrex and putting one on my 2016 Cougar. Just want to know if I should expect any problems.

A buddy of mine just did this today on a 2016 Cougar. No issues at all.

Wait for the Ultrex to take a dump.

I have a Fortrex that’s still in really nice shape and I’ve been thinking about the ghost, also. I’ll be retiring in the next 5 years and wondering if I should wait for some refinements or see what else comes out before I can use my boat all the time!

I have a 2016 Puma with a Fortrex as well, and the Ghost intrigues me due to the fact it's brushless.
Upgraded mine to ghost. It’s best upgrade done in my boat to date. Quiet, efficient and power all day. Using on 36V setting.
I wound up putting on a Ghost today. I only got to take it to the lake for about 10 minutes to make sure it ran, but I really liked it. Much quieter steering than the Ultrex. That alone is worth the upgrade to me.
Other things I liked better:
Cable management. The Ghost has two clips on the side of the mount to hold the cables out of the way.
Lift/Deploy assist. Much better than the Ultrex. It's very easy to deploy and pull up out of the water.
When you pull it out of the water, it automatically aligns itself. You don't have to step on the pedal and turn the head a certain way.
Only time will tell how it lasts.

I have a 13 Cougar and went with the Ghost. Did this about three months ago. It was pretty easy to install. HUGE upgrade going from Fortrex to Ghost. I was so hesitant because of the money but wow is anchor lock a huge difference. I have a buddy that has an Ultrex and the Ghost(as mentioned above) is much quieter, brushless , and the cable system is much better. Very happy so far. Wish I would have done it sooner. Now I just need 5k worth of new graphs and I’ll be able to catch them. Lol
