Minn Kota Ultrex Trolling Motor Install With a Quick Release MOUNTING BRACKET

I'm installing a Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor on my old Ranger 395V I/O bass boat. And I'm putting it on a quick release mounting bracket. This is so I can remove it quickly and easily if I'm staying at a hotel for a fishing tournament or any other reason I want to remove the trolling motor fast. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing nice to have someone share what they go through that is not a pro. I did mine and same problems with side panels 😂 maybe one day the designer will have to install what they come up with 😅. And yep I’m a retired designer. Thanks again!

It's one of the few that has spot lock and able to attach multiple transducers without concern of cable management

[@kenhoyle4344]

Nice video. You would think they would make the secure strap go inside the badging side cover.

[@gpharned]

Thanks. That is my exact quick release bracket I will be installing today.

Great video, considering the quick release mount…. I recently installed the same ultrex TM. Aside from that, when deployed does your TM shaft have a 1/2 inch play if you try to move or spin by hand? Sort of like a loose tooth…. Just curious if that is normal.

[@ProWrenching]

Yes- my TM has the same 1/2 inch play. Either that’s normal or both our trolling motors were built on a Friday afternoon- ha!

If you had to pick one or the other a good trolling motor or a good graph which would it be?

[@ProWrenching]

I’m fishing high school tournaments with my kids. The tournaments are on different lakes, we get on the water before the sun comes up. So, a good graph with lake maps & navigation would be my first choice.

@@ProWrenching that’s understandable my wife is giving me the option of one or the other not both lol, not trying to sound ungrateful I did get to buy a new 2023 boat, it’ll be a first without spotlock for me

[@ProWrenching]

@@Wiscobowhunt congratulations on the new boat! Take the wife fishing on a windy day and she might reconsider and let you have spotlock, too! 🤣

[@austenazevedo6078]

How does that little mount hold up to the power of that motor? I want to do one for my garmin force but scared it won't hold up and will be loose and not strong enough

[@ProWrenching]

The mount has held up in rough water conditions, but it’s not as solid as mounting it straight to the boat. It has a very slight wobble to it.

[@austenazevedo6078]

@@ProWrenching ok so it does have a slight wobble due to the construction of the pun system on the mount? How noticeable is it

[@ProWrenching]

@@austenazevedo6078 it’s only slight- doesn’t affect the operation of the trolling motor. Wobble might have been too strong of a word. It’s more like a slight wiggle if you grab the trolling motor and move it back and forth with your hand.
