    Availability of trolling motors?

    Am I hearing correctly that some brands of TM's are out of stock and long time on coming in? Such as Ultrex? How about Lowrance? I may want to sell my Ultrex and move to a Lowrance but not if I'm gonna have to wait a long time for it
    Thanks

    Johnson Outdoors are the worst. IMO, it’s because the have smaller volume so they are low priority for suppliers.

    You won’t have any problem selling a used Ultrex in good condition, so wait until you get your Ghost and you should be able to sell it nearly right away at a fair price.

    Well I got my replacement warranty parts. Control board was the biggest hold up I was told. Minn-Kota sends out warranty parts before they start production so I would say production on new ultrex's will begin shortly. Things are starting to get caught up, here's to keeping that ball rolling!

    instead of asking people on bbc try to buy one, I decided to buy a Garmin last week and checked around and my local Cabela's had it. A couple hours later I was installing it.

    How about warranty?

    Hmmm. What would be a good price for a used 80lb 45” non-link ultrex?
