Thread: Minn Kota ultera

Well I have done everything that I know how to do and everything the manual says to do so it is something internal that will not let it deploy. Called minnkota and they were no help so I have to wait on the crappie hole to look at it. Thanks fellas for your reply

Sounds like u got a dud, buy the extended warranty, saved me 500$

I apologize for offending you sir, I can assure you it was not my intent. You are exactly right, I read your first post saying you had just installed a new Ulterra and couldn't get it to do anything. So I was simply trying to offer some basic start up tips for someone who had never used an Ulterra before. I was also trying to be encouraging saying I have had several and they had been good units. I personally would like to know that if I had a new unit and it was giving me trouble out of the box, that it is not a chronic issue. But it is obvious that you are a seasoned veteran in using these motors so please disregard. Once again I appologize for offending you. Good luck in resolving your issue.

Chip you're a good man.

I am going to call a place over by Greenwood tomorrow and see if they can look at it. I hate waiting two weeks on the crappie hole. It is bugging the crap out of me to spend $2500.00 on a trolling motor and it not work.

Sinkermaker I sent you a pm on a dealer that can get you in the shop within a days notice or even maybe the same day you call them. I also sent you my cell number if you need to call me for any more help on your situation. If you go to this dealer call me and I'll take you to lunch hope this helps

Don, sorry your Ulterra is on the blink. Boat Sales of Lake Wylie, 803-631-5432 has a certified repair man there. Just a thought maybe if all fails use this as last resort. Good luck on a quick repair. I hope it is something simple

Thanks for all the suggestions but none helped. I took it to Greenwood this morning and had it fixed. It had a pinched wire on the left side magnet that I missed. He repaired it and it is back on the boat. So relieved it was nothing major.
