Hi Torque Dad, our minnkota ulterra 112lbs is stuck upside down with the motor inside the ramp (not on the ramp), on full stow with the fan facing up (vertical position), we tried to pushed the motor so that it can be unstuck but seems it is locked, we tried to pull the silver lever so that we can pull the housing trim unit (locked not moving) and push the whole motor out but it does NOT move, seems locked, need help - thanks

Here's a thread I found which seems to match your issue. I've had to do the motor reset a few times and it's worked. Since posting this video, I did have a complete failure of the motor and had it get it replaced at a service center. Hope this helps - www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=899313&page=2

Good video and good tips, but i just noticed at the end of you video, the prop is covering most of you skeg, but it appears to be misaligned. This is a common issue with the 4" motors if you hit bottom and it rotates the brush housing and causes s leakage due to the motor thru bolts being bent and the thru bolt o-rings to leak. This video is a year old, so the resulting water damage has probably already occurred, but I thought I would point it out in case other owners may be facing the same issue. If you hit bottom, make sure that the skeg is aligned with the column. If not remove the prop, loosen the thru bolts slightly. Rotate the skeg to it's proper orientation and retorque the thru bolts to 40-50 inch pounds. Ideally you should replace the o-rings and pull the thru bolts to see if they are bent, but that would be up to the owner.

This video saved my ass out in the middle of the lake! Thanks! My sensor was stuck. And would not ploy up...In an emergency sitiation, where you can't take it appart you can reach your finger behind the cover from the front of the trolling motor and touch the sensor to get it to spring back.
@rodneyheupel7269 Жыл бұрын
The magnet in the cam arm sensor will be directly over the sensor when the motor is in the deployed position. Inspect the cam arm sensor mechanism for hair line cracks, there has been an upgrade to this part, the updated cam arm sensor assembly uses a plastic screw.

Good and useful vid/pod, thanks a million. Can't locate any silicone based, (non hydrocarbon based) cleaner in NewZealand yet, but were working on it! DIY the only fix here too, So KZbin has some value. Minnkota (or nz agent ) would charge you mega-bucks just to open lid? Good advice to wash of everything after seawater exposure.

Biggest problem with the Ulterra for the most part falls on the owners ! People don’t read the instruction manual and preform the necessary maintenance! I have a 2018 and have had zero issue! Clean and spray shaft and belt after ever use and do maintenance 2x a year! Doesn’t take but a couple minutes to prevent most problems associated with the Ulterra !

Minn Kota actually says not to lube the screw rod thingy (can't remember the exact name) as the lube will cause debris to collect and clog the threads. My dealer lubed mine and has seemed to work great. I'm not even sure what's best.
