    So Minnkota is incorrect with the information they sent me? My post was a direct copy and paste from them. Talk about confusing

    No they are correct about their stuff. They did not provide information about Humminbird. If you had Humminbird stuff, you would be exposed to that information.

    If I were to get another Ultrex, I wouldn’t even bother to mount the sensor. I don’t use the jog function. With my current Ultrex, I have used spot lock with and without the sensor, and there was absolutely no difference.

    That is just the MK side of the fence. HB uses the input as well and admittedly is not all that well known. It is really nice that they work together and they should as they share the same parent company.
