Absolutely love my ulterra... My question is with the ultrex do you have to keep your foot on it like the old cable drive trolling motors. Because I have used like a fortrex before and that part of cable drive system I absolutely hated and it boggles my mind why anyone would use a cable drive


You have to keep your foot on it just as much as a terrova, I always ran regular cable as the terrova/ap/ all power steer were always to slow turning for fishing around structure. Plus with those you had to physically look at the head to figure out what direction the trolling motor was pointing. I can run a cable steer all by feel of which way the pedal is pointed. I switched to an ultrex early this spring, and absolutely love it!

~Ultrex positives:
Stows and deploys better than terrova
can use external transducer and hydrowave as only turns 380deg
has the pedal response so can run by feel
no super long shaft to worry about bouncing all over, self contained with bounce support
No cold weather deploy/stow issues
~Terrova positives:

~Ulterra Positives:
Deploys and stows electrically
Electric height adjustment
