I am also trying to avoid adding a separate transducer when I buy an Ulterra. I did it with a Terrova and it was a PIA. I'm willing to switch from Lowrance to a 'Bird but I have no idea what the best model would be if I only wanted to use the transducer the comes with the motor.

The built in US2 transducer will work with just about any brand sonar. Only need the appropriate adapter cable. I use the built in MinnKota with my Lowrance HDS screens. Works great. ....and with networking, I can have SI/DI up front......only thing it's 20ft behind me. Lol

I have a di transducer on my ulterra. It was pretty easy to mount. I went to home Depot and bought the coiled airline for a compressor and cut it to the length I wanted. Taped the cable from ducer to it and it extends and stays away from the prop. There are several options to do it on YouTube.

ive been running the ulterra for a little over 2 yrs now, changed the way I fish. launch by myself much easier, follow the contour with my bird, and heading lock all allow me to spend much more time focused on fishing. no problems with unit so far

you will need to purchase a spare battery for the hand held remote if you plan to use it a lot. about$10

I got my Ulterra July of 2017 and it is currently in the shop for the third time. I haven't been happy with it at all. Might sell it when I get it back
