Mine didn't work right out of the box!!!! Really pissed off... Spend 2400.00 and it won't work as soon as you get it. Now I'm having to wait for factory to ship new "boards" to all the service centers so they can replace all these BAD "boards" inside the pedals. This is horrible Quality Management. Appears this is a supplier issue and the supplier has delivered a lot of bad components to Minn Kota. Because I retired from Supplier Quality Management in the Aerospace industry, I asked Minn Kota rep to send my info to QA management so I can go to work for them and utilize my skills in detecting, preventing and resolving such discrepancies. So... waiting for Minn Kota to ship new boards!!!!!

Man, I'm glad I got mine a ways back. Sounds like the issues have been on the more recent purchases.

I was told in the beginning to wait about 6 months because there were issues that aren't being publicized. Seems there's been issues all along! Hopefully, they are coming to a close and I can buy mine! I'm jonesin for spot lock!!!! Bad!! I want one now!! Lol!

I got one early and have had no issues at all, a few of my friends held out and waited and two of them have had issues with the board but MK stepped up very quick.

I have a o say minnkota customer service is great! I just received my replacement ultrex with the updated foot pedal! I talked to a manager and got my whole unit replaced in one week, with the new board in the foot pedal! They even overnighted it from the factory to my house! All I have to say is awsum!

I ordered mine from the factory store... they said I could package mine up and send it to them and they would send me a new one. Really? After I installed it and threw away the boxes, I am supposed to uninstall it, package it back up and they would send me a new one... shameful! I'm not happy with Minn Kota. Now I'm having to wait until a service center receives the new "boards" and then they will call me to set up a time to have it replaced... Not good.
They should send me a new one, and I'll package this useless unit back in that box and send it back to them. Guess I need to call a manager!
I've never had a Minn kota until my latest Legend... Always Motorguide! The Fortrex is noisy and interferes with my Humminbird. But I thought I would go with a NEW Ultrex for the Spot Lock feature. I've had two MK's and both have been nothing but problems.

Maybe the board and pedal problems and their fixes are the reason for the nationwide backorder everywhere for the Ultrex.
