Hasn't hit the streets yet but you already know how strong it is and how fast it deploys. Interesting.

The raptor can be controlled by the graphs and I bet they update the ultrex so one of the speed buttons can also control the raptors. Would be interesting to see if you can program one of the speed buttons to operate spot lock and deploy the raptors at the same time. You wouldn’t want spot lock and shallow anchors at the same time. Trust me. I’ve tried it. The Ultrex has a mind of its own and likes to wander slightly. With the boat loacled down in the back, the Ultrex would NEVER find its “happy place” and it would twist 360’s endlessly trying to get to feet to the right. Lol. Bad mix. As for controlling the anchors via a button on the foot pedal....it is easier to just tap a stomp button. Specially with a recessed pedal mount. It’s hard to get to the heading lock and prop button as it is.

I wonder if instead of having to buy new brackets, if you can use the same brackets as the Talon used. I would figure they would make it where current Talon owners wouldnt have to switch up mounting brackets.

Looking at the pictures, the brackets are different. More like the power pole brackets.

The Raptors moved to Minnesota? I thought they played in Toronto?

I will remain a PowerPole customer as long as they stay in business. Their customer service is by far the best in the marine industry.

Maybe the raptor will be built right to begin with and not require the use of their customer service.
