    Ultrex Review

    Well I got to use the new 80# 45" ultrex yesterday. I can now understand why it took me 2 months to get it. What an incredible piece of technology! The functions out surpassed all of my expectations. I crappie fish 90% of the time and there is no doubt this is going to increase my catching success. I won't go so far as to say it will make power poles/talons obsolete, they have their place, but.......To be able to go back to a saved spotlock from a 1/4 mile away and be within 3 ft. is just unreal to me. Anyway you can see that I like it.
    P.S. Thanks to Brian at BBG for his patience and reassurance during my wait time

    He said 2 months and a local guy says his suppliers are now saying July.

    I had one on order for two months and finally cancelled when I was told it might be the end of June, possibly July.

    Must depend on the model. I ordered the 1368810 Ultrex 80/US2 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot Link 24v 45 Inch Shaft. Availability is very limited according to both dealers and Minn Kota. I can find plenty without link. I have found some with link, but they are very proud of them, because the are asking more than the suggested retail. At this point I'll probably wait till next year to purchase one.

    Question: i got an ultrex 80# IPlink, i had the head replaced as I cut the universal wire. The warranty tech did his work. I took it to the lake did the pairing but it seems the remote control won't recognize the motor. Before, i could not get it to stay in spot lock unless i was right against the wind, now it's w the same maybe worst i can't do the calibrating, it won't display o my remote control. Nothing I can do about it. Any help is welcomed.
