    Ultrex - Pulling up trolling motor issue, and deploy issue

    Sometimes when I try to pull up my trolling form the deploy position it's very difficult. Like it's caught or struck something. I pull on it and it won't budge. Its a little messing around with it to get it to function.

    Also when I deploy the TM sometimes it doesn't seat down fully, have to jiggle it to seat correctly.

    First thing I would check is the torque on the mount bolts. They need to be even! If there is ANY twist in the mount, it will do what you are experiencing.

    Sounds like you don’t have the mount tightened down flat,got a little twist in the base. As a quick fix,you can push down on the mount with your foot,then pull it up.
