Thread: ulterx or Ulterra and why?

I have the Ultrex. The only complaint that I have is the Spot Lock doesn't keep your location "still" without a lot of up and down RPM's of the motor trying to hold you still. Must use the Minn Kota Talons to stay securely in one spot. Also, I haven't noticed any cables for turning on mine?

That is good info to know!! Thank you! And I’m sorry, when I mentioned cables, I was talking about the mechanism inside the trolling motor itself that turns the shaft. That’s just what my interweb research has turned up....which explains the difference in feel of the foot pedal operation on an Ultrex versus an Ulterra. Also, I’m sorry, I feel like I’ve hijacked this thread with so many questions/responses!
