[quote=SteezMacQueen][quote=buda13][quote=forkduc]Ultrex was our friend. Motor shuts off for extended periods of time. It’s not the MOO button or the magnetic switch(that needs constant adjusting) Jeez. I wish Lowrance would release there Ultrex killer sooner. I had a problem when I first installed my Ultrex with it shutting off on me, then it would work again 5 minutes later. If you have the TM connected to a circuit breaker that automatically resets, you probably need to replace it with a 60A one on each battery. If that's not it, then maybe the Aggie is right. LOL

I’ll be the first to admit that I have been using the thing ...a lot.
The things I’m having issues with are things I believe I have not cause of. I replace propellers often, bought both sets of cables. And the bushings COULD have been a result of using the thing in timber.
The other stuff, even cosmetic things I haven’t mentioned, are QC issues. I have also replaced the plastic sides and the nose “ramp” on the mount due to severe fading. The boat is covered when not in use, it it’s used more than covered.
I don’t care if the trolling motor costs $4000! I want to fish worry free. You just alerted to me possibly another reason for your problems. You probably fish 4-5 times more than anyone on here. An analogy would be: the normal warranty on a vehicle is 36,000 miles or 3 years which ever occurs first. If your Ultrex had the same warranty you used it up in 6 months so yes it's going to have more wear and tear on it and need some repairs on it other than cosmetic. The Ultrex has many features that aren't available on other trolling motors and they get worn too. I'd say you've got good use from your Ultrex and should expect some repairs here and there. Even a Rolls Royce will have issues if you take it to the drag strip. 
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

LOL I think they breakers are 50A each. They are new, but I took them from a power window kit I had lying around at work. Maybe I should look at those. Thanks for the suggestion.
