I have one, I would say it works the way my first Terrova was supposed to.
I would definitely buy an Ultrex again if it disappeared.
Does the foot control work as smooth and instantaneous as a regular cable steer does?Quote:

My son and I fished all day today in 15-20 mph wind and 3X he said " we would have gone home a long time ago without the Ultrex." The anchor mode loves strong straight winds. The cable power steering is even better than I imagined. Anchor mode is confused by no wind and wanders 5-10' in gusting winds but always smoothly and quietly brings you back to your spot. It would be a tough transition to go back to my old FORTREX, which was a great TM until the day I installed the Ultrex (easy install btw). It took a few years but I think Minnekota finally got it right.
Thanks for the replies.. I'm a single poler at heart.. I installed the Minn Kota plates on my boat and TM's so I could swap out when need be but this thing is what I've been hoping for

Sounds like a great TM

Just got one. Love it so far. As advertised. Make sure you calibrate the heading sensor and keel offset as installation instructions say.

I'm waiting on the Ultrex that will deploy and stow itself. That will be the ultimate TM when they do that. You can bet it's in the works as we speak. Nowhere else they can go. "The Megatrex". Lol

Megatrex! Perfect- maybe I should have waited!
