    Question How to Upgrade from gen to gen2 Ulterra

    Have been unable to find out what is involved in upgrading my gen1 Ulterra to a gen 2 with the improved spot lock.Not even sure it's possible. Has anyone made the upgrade? What is part number and cost? Is it available only through MK or can retailers order it? Is it a DIY project or by an ASC? Thanks.

    It will cost you $500, but in my opinion worth it. Get the serial number from your ultera and call MK parts. They will tell you the exact part number to order. The install is super easy, you will get a new head unit for the troller and a new remote.

    forgot but you also get a heading puck to mount if you want to use the jog feature which is great too. Didn’t think I would use this feature but after trying it I am impressed with it and use it often.

    Another option to consider: I was able to sell my Gen1 Ulterra through my trolling motor shop for only $600 less than the new Gen2. It got me the upgrade, brand new motor, and 2 more years of warranty.
