sounds good can i get on the list for one?
I have the 52" shaft 36v Ultrex with the Mega360 transducer and a GT54 on it. I may in the future add Livescope. What kit would I need? I'm ready to order for sure.
I just received a shipment of gas springs for 45", 52" and for the first "guesstimate" at a 60". I have all the other hardware in stock and ready to ship......better hurry if you need one since these will be gone soon and I'll be back to waiting on my spring vendor. :)
Mine is really helping allot when stowing my 52" Ultrex. Thanks Ron!
Hello Ron.
Finally got a break in the weather to install the spring. New problem, maybe.
I can't the the TM off the mount. I just put the Target Lock/Mega 360/Mega Live kit on the TM.
Does that stuff prevent taking the TM off the mount? Have you heard of anyone else with problems like this?
Anyone else?
THANKS !!
Normally, unlatching the motor and letting the tension off of the shaft does the trick. Maybe you could try putting the screw back in a turn or 2, unlatch the motor, and tap on the end of the lower unit with a rubber mallet or maybe even try picking up the lower unit and wiggling it left/right to see if you can get it to free up. It is a wedge fit onto the base and is very tight.
It's free. I've pulled it off many times in the past. Now it comes up about 3/8" and hangs on something.
I guess I'll yank the imaging kit off tomorrow if it's warm.
What a pain. Only 5 or 6 screws, but I had all the wiring routed.
THANKS !!
Kind of a surprise. I'm sure there are lots of these on the MK dual plate. If this is a common problem preventing removing the TM, I can't find anyone but me with it.
After half an afternoon by myself getting the screws out of the upper arm (That's a two man job), I was expecting the rest to be easy.
I'll let you know what transpires in case any of your other customers have a similar problem.
THANKS AGAIN !!
Hello Ron,
Finally got it installed. Easy, peasy, once I got the TM off.
Can't figure out why, but I ended up removing the dual plate and the TM just popped off like it should have. Couldn't find the interference.
Only 4 bolts and I was able to render the whole shebang over the trolling motor with minor difficult.
I can't deploy the TM all the way with boat on the trailer because of steps on the trailer, but can certainly feel the difference.
THANKS !!
Instead of disconnecting all cables, the method I used worked without any pain. I didn’t have to rewire anything. I just raised the Ultrex and ML to avoid boat steps and easy full deployment. Removing the Ultrex from the mount was easy and after installing the new mount, the Ultrex was just as easy to re-install. The 7/16 bolts mentioned refer to the Ultrex mounting to the deck of the boat. Hope this helps someone.

I installed Ron's kit last weekend and it s really quite simple. He gives excellent instructions provided in his kit and while you could do it by yourself it is easier with an extra set of hands ... and quicker.

I just installed mine today solo. It took about an hour, including clean up and I went slow. It is VERY easy to install. Helpful hint, do NOT remove the tape on the rod holding the washers. It is there for a reason!
THANK YOU RON for all your work on this. I will be giving it a thorough test on Saturday. My one and only concern is that I do not have Target Lock installed so the pressure might need to be turned down. I will report back either way.

Thanks Ron,
I just installed your lift assist and it seems to be a great modification to my Ultrex.
One suggestion to the instruction: A heat gun can be used to loosen any Loctite.
Great kit with great results, thanks Ron!
Have any left?52in,tl,and 360 thanks
Any reports back on guys who have not installed targetlock? Is the pressure too much? I can’t convince myself to buy targetlock.
