    Ultrex w/M 360 and targetlock gas piston assist

    Does anyone produce a replacement gas piston for lift assist for an Ultrex made prior to 2023. The current stuff offered by MK is for Ultrex trolling motors 2023 and later, and mine is a 2022, and I have Mega 360 and target lock on mine currently.

    Minnkota has a mount just for that purpose.

    There are stronger direct replacement gas springs but I don't know the source. Someone in Europe found one to do his mount.

    The one shown on the Minnkota website's Accessory list may work, but there is no template to drill holes for the attachment to the arm. Don't know if the yoke attachment is the same size.

    Ron Meadows was making replacement kits to do it but stopped earlier this year.
