I’ve had a couple requests for this so I thought it would be better if I just post it

I did this 2 years ago when I bought the Ultrex
First I started with the troll tamer for the Fortrex in the shortest version (#3) purchased from tackle warehouse
I took the bolt off the top and took it to the hardware store and bought a threaded dowel rod in the same size as the bolt
1/4-20 if I remember correctly – don’t hold me to that
This is a photo of the standard mounting of the tamer showing the bolt I’m talking about

Now the rod on the minn kota stabilizer has a hole through it but it is to small you need to drill it out to the correct size for the tap

Cut the dowel to length and then drill and tap the dowel rod once you have the pieces ready to go together use permatex to lock the pieces together
I fish Lake St Clair and run rough water all the time and this has never come lose
NOTE1:
I learned this the hard way – drill the hole out a couple sizes at a time to keep the hole straight – mine leans just a little to one side
NOTE2:
There is an easier way just using the threaded tip with the 2 nuts but I didn’t think of it till I was done
NOTE3: I did replace the plastic nut minn kota provides with 2 stainless nuts because the plastic one does come lose (not seen in photos)
Hope this help
