This is my second year with the Ulterra.
First year it was flawless. This year it started making some noise and the head would shake when on 5-8 power.
I took off the prop, nothing to remove.
Talked to a dealer (MW Marine/Rob), and he said to try spraying some WD40 onto a paper towel, then clean the neck of the trolling motor. Namely the rubber belt.
So I did that. Worked like a charm. He said that he does this every time out. It only take a few seconds, so I'm getting into the habit of doing that. Only I didn't have WD40, so I used TriFlow.
