I thought they updated the module but that they still interchanged. *(the old one wasn't sealed the new one is)*
Mine fit--they potted it as the ribbon wires were unprotected on the early version.Quote:

1st pic is apparently the new style, pulled a buddies off to look.
2nd pic is the old style. The two holes by my fingers I drilled trying to get it to work but the larger holes are also oval instead of round.
Thats not the steering module I/we figured you were talking about.
Went to parts diagram, that is the rope pull assembly that the whole steering module attaches to. Definitely something has changed.
Well the steering module is the part that I had replaced.
It has tabs that line up with the holes on the pull rope assembly.
Trying to figure out if the ASC put the wrong steering module on or if I have to upgrade my pull rope assembly too.
thats a question I can't answer hopefully someone will come along with more knowledge.Quote:

Good luck.
I think you got some fortrex parts here,
Fortex will mount to a ultrex mount, but a ultrex will not mount to to a fortrex mount
The steering module should have come with a new rope guide assembly. It is part of the kit. If the ASC did the work they should have provided you with the part for you to replace it on the bracket. If not then go back to the shop and ask for the part. If they give you static then call Minn Kota and give them your story. The instrucitns for replacing are in the package.
If you do not feel confident on the replacement yourself then the ASC should be able to rplace it for you at no extra charge. Again if they give you staic call Minn Kota and gripe.
that’s the plan to call the ASC when they open Monday. Swapped a buddy’s bracket to my boat to use for a trip this week and going to drop mine off at the ASC to replace the rope guide as well.Quote:

All good now, ASC swapped it out this morning.
