it looks like minn kota has created a cable steer motor with digital capabilities. i been hesitant to do away with my cable steer cause i hate to give up the control when jigging in heavy cover. from what i can see this new motor does both. it was just released at i-cast recently so i don't know if its available yet, minn kota's factory online store doesn't list it yet but im looking forward to putting my hands on one.
Someone told me they would be out in Feb

Get a plate and a Terrova from someone who thinks they have to upgrade when they come out, way cheaper
Don't be a negative nelly..... They may be the stuff we have always needed to make us better crappie fishermen!!!:biggrinQuote:

I guess y'all gonna laugh at me but this is what I've been saying I need for years and wondered why minnkota didn't make it.. Guess I'll be a sucker.. I'm buying one. For my home lake, Barnett, it's the ticket. No more swapping from cable steer to terrova and dealing with being on the lake wishing I had the other one on for me no more !! Just gotta start saving cause I hear they gonna be outrageous.
I plan on putting one on my boat as soon as they are available.
I wonder if they will self deploy like the Ulterra, my buddy was able to talk his wife into letting him get an Ulterra so she wouldn't have to back the boat down the ramp anymore. He launches the boat and uses the remote to deploy the Ulterra and then steer it away from the ramp and then he hits the spot lock while he goes and parks the truck and then he comes back and brings the boat up to the bank and they climb in.
there will come a time when your buddies swimming abilities will be tested.
The cats meow would be to have a 3 way package. Stick steer cable steer digital steer. That way you could jig fish spider rig pull cranks.
I wish they would make it where you can turn the Ulterra on with the remote. You have to push the button on the motor to turn it on. Like Gomer said, if you forget to turn it on before you launch the boat there will be some swimming needed. Hard to pick yourself up at the bank too. You have to stow the TM or trim it way up before it hits bottom when you do that. I saw a guy this weekend almost break his shaft doing that. He forgot to raise the motor when he steered it to the bank.Quote:
