    Fortrex on Triton 18TX?

    I have a fortrex arrving tomorrow. Is the troll area braced at all? And will the holes line up from the 24 volt edge that the boat came with?

    My 24v 80lb Fortrex did not line up with the holes from my 24v edge that was on my boat.
    I "think" 2 out of 6 holes did.

    Did you sell the edge? If so...what did you ask. Mines not a year old and in good shape.

    Mine was brand new 2017 model (55 lb 24v 52" shaft) taken off boat as soon as I got it. I ended up selling it on craigslist locally for $425

    If you haven't already done so, I recommend buying the stabilizer bar for the Fortrexx, it works nicely and makes for a solid set up.

    +1 on the stabilizer bar. This should be a standard item with the fortex models!
