Ultrex Lift Assist Upgrad Kit
Not sure how many of the folks in this forum are running Ultrex trolling motors but I bet that there might be a few that have both Active Target and Humminbird 360 hanging off of the ones that do have. I'm offering a replacement gas spring kit, along with all the hardware and instructions on how to install it, to cut the effort required to lift the trolling motor by at least 50%. It gets installed inside the upper portion of the base in place of the current spring, but it is longer due to the additional lift force it provides so the upper attach location is moved to the face of the upper portion of the mount and it looks like a factory installed option with nothing added to the exterior of the trolling motor base. Turns out it is very similar to the upgraded base from Minnkota, though I saw their kit after I had designed mine. I replace all of the plastic pieces used by Minnkota with 6061T6 aluminum so that everything will withstand the additional applied force for a long, long time.
I am charging $125 (the upgraded base from Minn Kota is $400) plus USPS Priority shipping for each kit and I pick up the Paypal fees.
Any hardcore Lowrance types need something like this?
Thanks for reading,
Ron
