TH marine has all different sizes of troll tamer. Need longer shaft for Ultrex. Best thing for trolling motor.

Wasted money. The bushings that could possibly wear out are so inexpensive, that you could change them out every 6 months and still come out cheaper over the life of the TM.

Get yourself one.....bushings not the only issue here. Too many high priced electronic components taking unnecessary beating in rough waters.

I have had one since they were first out and have used on a Maxxum, a Fortrex and now my Ultrex. I have never had to replace bushings or had any problems with any of the motors!

Just Sayin.....

I think it is a good product but I have never had an issue with bushings or my trolling motor, and I have put them through hell.

Do they make one specifically for an ultrex

A few months ago I had my first experience with bushing failure and it was on an Ultrex. I don't know if a tamer would've prevented it though. I hope yours remains trouble free.

I have used a version of the bounce buster or what ever since I can remember. I was even making a kick stand for the trolling motor back in the 80's so it wouldn't crack the aluminum bow plate on the old boat I had then. I think they are awesome. The boat I have now had very slight spider cracks around the back trolling motor mounting bolts when I bought it. A set of Fender washers and a bounce buster and 10 years later.... no issues. I don't run a strap but I set it up to where the catch pins hold it tight. I even have to apply slight pressure to the motor head to get it to release. Just my .02... But i run a transom saver too. Been told I didn't need it.. well I'm a boat owner of over 35 years and never had a Issue with either. I will call in Insurance.. LOL

If Iā€™m not mistaken, the basic Fortrex mount and Ultrex mount are the same....so it should work in either.

I use it cause it does not wear a hole in the carpet. They do not make one specific for the ultrex. Every boat is different and u have to measure to get the right length. The shafts are adjustable.
