    Ultrex Link Upgrade?

    I think Minn Kota could hit a big market by offering a Link upgrade.
    If a new boat comes with Lowrance standard and an Ultrex it is doubtful the Link option is offered.
    Most folks will replace electronics far more often than trolling motors.
    When my Lowrance units are obsolete I will go back with Humminbirds.
    I would be nice if MK lets us go with the "whole boat" concept without having to replace a perfectly good TM.

    The Ultrex can be upgraded to the "Link" package.

    Yep, it an easy swap out of one part. Costs about $275 if I remember correctly. Can be done in about 10 minutes.

    Try 800. If it were only 275 it would be foolish to buy the link version ever since it’s 400 more. The Bluetooth remote alone is 275.

    What is needed for the upgrade? Something I can do myself?
    How much for kit?

    Very simple other than coughing up $800.00
    Its built into the head cover and has 4 phillips head screws that are removed from the bottom with one plug and play wire inside.

    I'm sure John can get you one or order direct from MinnKota on line parts
