I've heard that there are still quite a few bugs to work out with all of the electric stuff (Ultrex, Ulterra, Terrova). I have a Terrova that works well, but haven't had it long enough to speak for its longevity. But the high-bypass never did work, the lift-assist slipped out of my hand the first weekend I used it, and busted, so these still do have some things to get worked out.

Using mine yesterday I noticed it would keep running when I took my foot off the gas. Is this an operator error? if I would click the gas button again it would stop. Just curious if anyone knows if it's me or the motor?

Just curious if anyone knows if it's me or the motor? There's a thread about this issue in the lounge on BBC called Ultrex Help. Sounds like a fairly easy fix.

Here you go. #4Today,08:27 AM
The momentary switch that is staying on problem is easily fixed, the switch needs to be adjusted. There is a reed switch (magnetic switch) under foot button. Pop off the foot button carefully by depressing tab underneath momentary button. Once the button is off you will see the reed switch (small round thing) you adjust by pushing it down or up. You will need to push it down just a tiny bit so reed switch doesn't make as much contact when not depressed so it will turn off. I use a flat blade screwdriver. Only move a tiny bit. Little goes a long way. After adjustment pop momentary button back on and try it. You may have to adjust a couple times to get it right. But simple to do.

I use spot lock most of all. And on windy days I'll hit the constant button and move slowly against the wind at a steady pace.

Got one on my new Ranger RT188. Made three trips to Fork this year Absolutely love it. Use the foot control mostly. Use the spotlock all the time . You just have to be careful and no backwash your spot if your fishing in shallow water. Probably use the remote more when l stop chasing those green trout and fish the treetops forcrappie.Like the man said Game Changer!!
