    Have 2005 Champion 188 Elite ( Ultrex Minnkota question)

    Has anyone put one of these on and will foot pedal fit in recess tray? 52" shaft should be good also right?

    If that is a factory tray i have no idea. I just bought one but i had to get an aftermarket as my boat did not come with a tray. As far as the shaft it depends on the water you fish. Im coming from a digital tour and went with a 45". It should give me about 3 more useable inches compared to the old motorguide 45" (Apparently 45" does not mean 45"). My old one rarely comes out of the water just in the roughest conditions so I think i will be fine the the 45 but your mileage may vary

    52" is good. Hope someone knows about the pedal fit...

    The ULTREX foot pedal will fit in recessed tray just fine.The pedal is the same as a Fortrex.

    The pedal fits in the recessed opening. No modifications required.
