    Ultrex foot pedal

    Hi guys I'm looking to replace my motor guide with an ultrex. For those of you that have done it, did you have to cut into your deck at all to accommodate the ultrex foot pedal? Boat is a 2002 2200dc.

    Also I'm leaning towards a 45". Hoping it should be long enough. I currently have a 52" raised up a bit, but hate the motor head sitting so high as I like to flip and pitch alot.

    The pedal fits in the recess of the 2100. Imagine its the same on the 2200. Snug but it fits. Get prepared for trying to see over it.

    MotorGuide = Mercury! Lowrance??? Both companies struggle with new products. And Lowrance and their acumen regarding product updates is a universal joke. So tis’ with baited breath I wait. I own both now. I test drove a buddies Ultrex and absolutely loved the steering control aspect. I have an Xi5 and though I detest the foot control I will not change until/unless someone develops a wireless foot control that actually works well. I simply do not want to return to the days of cable/wires covering the front deck.

    The pedal flits snug; however, I had to go to a machine shop and have a 3" extension built for the stabilizer bar mount. Works great
