Thanks Ron. I took it out today for the first time and it worked perfectly. It is a solid mount as long as the thumb screws are used. Without the thumb screws, it flexes a little but with them, it doesn't move at all. Just wish the fish were more cooperative.

A slide bracket will not fully retract the Xi5 because of the bulbous nose that sticks below, it still leaves nearly 7 inches of the TM hanging out over the side of the boat. Believe me, I looked into one before I developed the LiftSaver and it would not work. That is why this one 'Lifts' and Retracts the TM to clear the nose. These 'Slide' brackets are not recommended for the MK Ulterras.

I guess the previous post was deleted before I could reply.

I am also now offering a Black Powder Painted option.



As well as the 'Un-finished' version.



Both units show the Quick Detach Option and I will soon be offering a 'Basic Unit'. I will update my website soon (having issues with the provider).

I updated the video. See it here.

I bought one lase week and it is the real deal, well worth it, Got to meet BlueNitro and still trying to remember all he taught me!

Yea Ron can sure fill ya in on tmotors.

Any videos of this in use? I just had one installed and it really flexes when my Ulterra is at higher speeds. I mean like flexes 30 degrees or more.

Are you saying the shaft of the trolling motor is flexing thirty degrees? Are you saying that where it's mounted is flexing?

I know Ron has some videos somewhere on here. Let me see if I can find one he has posted.

I can't find those videos. I believe he has some on his website at www.liftsavetmmout.com.

I looked at it again on the boat lift at the dock. I don't think I had the pin pushed in all the way. So I pushed it in but it's dark so I'll try it again tomorrow if weather permits. With all the praise for this device, it's probably my own stupidity and I'll let you guys know.

I tried it again today with the pin in all the way, and it is solid as a rock!

Glad to hear and I saw the installation on your boat and it looked really good. Looks like Hunter with Outdoor Specialties did a great job. That is a really sharp looking boat as well!!! (Do you mind if I post up a picture of your boat?)

If you ever have any issue with the LiftSaver, you can contact me direct at 469-853-5389 (Ron) and I would be happy to help you out any way I can. If you cannot find my number in the future you can always find my contact information on my website at www.liftsavertmmount.com

Outdoor Specialties in Eastland, TX did a great job. This was a new boat that had a Fortrex mounted from the factory, but I asked them to put on an Ulterra with the Liftsaver. I had an Ulterra (without the liftsaver) on my old boat and it would hit the roller, especially if the ramp was steep.

You're welcome to post the photos of the boat. I'll see if I can get more photos that show the liftsaver better from different angles.

That really is a beautiful boat!!!




I like how they canted the mount to make sure the control head was within the boat sides or you would have had a difficult time with it catching on the boat lift rails. That was one of the benefits that I built into the LiftSaver and now I'm glad I did.

Installed my couple weekends ago and love it!!!!!! Super easy to operate- it glides up and glides down. Protects my trolling motor and my boat. Installed was super easy . Ron this is a great product and thank you sir.
