    Fortrex vs. Ultrex 45" same depth?

    Wanted to see if anyone knows if the maximum prop depth is the same for each model. I checked Minn Kota's site and didn't see anything on it. Thanks

    If it isn't, the difference would be in the mount, the usable shaft is the same length. I don't know if the bowguard of the Fortrex and the Steering module of the Ultrex are the same height. Pretty sure they are.

    I have an Ultrex in the shop and I will check it out. I do believe that the lower part of the Ultrex steering module is a little longer, how ever it does not affect the depth compared to Fortrex. Will report back tomorrow

    Finally was able to check and they are the same. If there is ant difference it is hardly noticeable.
