    Where do Ultrex Wires hook up?

    Ok--dumb question. I never put the Fortrex on. I have no plug for power to trolling motor. It is way up under the bow plate. Is there a secret to unhooking Fortrex wires that lead to foot pedal from WAY under the bow plate? I cannot even see where they hook up. I guess once you get old, everything is difficult! Any advice on how to unhook Fortrex power and hooking up Ultrex to power?

    I went from a Fortrex to an Ultrex and if memory is correct I think I took out the trolling motor foot control pan and the connection is right there. Others will comment also, hope this helps.

    I removed my pedal and the power wires run under the bow. I was thinking I would see a connector somewhere

    ^^^^This.....just take your bow plate off and trace the wire....it will lead to a small black box (about 1"x 21/2").....open it up and you will be looking at the ring terminals.
