+1 Will be making the upgrade to Ultrex too just for the deep water ease. As for MG....had 4, 2 steering cables broke in 1st yr costing me tourneys.Once you go MK with that mount you won't want to touch a MG. Besides reliability, that MG mount is loud and stepping on the head to get it to deploy was ridiculous
Was crappie fishing under a bride, hotspot Lock and TM kind of lost its mind, kind of funny actuallyp

Your old fortrex will install in the ultrex mount by removing the one socket head bolt.
The fortrex will fit in the ultrex mount. I had to put my fortrex back on last weekend before a tx.

Was told they changed it so it wouldn't any longer? What happened to your Ultrex???
Well I Put my new ultrex on Saturday fished Saturday evening and Sunday. The motor is great catch a fish or retie spot lock is great. I have been a mg guy for years new rig has fotrex now ultrex MK mount is far superior to the MG. I did hit the North button a lot on the ultrex don't like the placement of the button.
The ultrex won't go in The fortrex mount but it will on the flip side. My pedal keeps getting stuck in the toe down position. They are sending me out a new one. Hopefully it was a fluke because they said they hadn't had that problem yet. I'm on the fence about just selling the new one but it was absolutely awesome the three times I've gotten to use it.

Used the Ultrex on my new boat Saturday. Only for about 10 minutes. That was enough to know that it's one of the greatest things to come along in bass fishing in awhile. I love it. Buy one and never look back.

i am waiting for mg answer to it..
you know they will have to one up the ultrex!
everyone will want to sell ultrex go motorguide then mk will one up them.. cat mouse game
I heard that the trolling motor foot pedal does not fit into the recessed foot pedal locations on some older boats. Any confirmations of this? Would you still buy Poles or Talons if you had a Ultrex first?
Really want one, but I am going to wait a year for the new product issues to be taken care of. Really think it's better for me in New England than a set of power poles.
