Anyone research the new Ultrex "quest" series that are brushless motors? Looking like MSRP is approx $4000.

Apparently no one has learned to use the original Ultrex, so any amount of research isnt enough,

I wouldn't buy one until it has been out for awhile, let them find all the bugs first. It is just to compete with other brushless trolling motors.

I have forgotten more about Ultrex’s than most people will ever learn. I’ve had it for 8 years and have rebuilt every part of it at least once. Some parts several times. Of course I know what the stupid N button does. I also know everything about the touch screen remote and all its functions.
The gripe is the placement of the N button. Everyone knows what the stupid button does. They know because it’s the least used feature on the trolling motor and the most accidentally activated feature. Just a dumb feature to be so prominently placed in the pedal.

Must have been the first one sold. I use the N button often. Would much rather hit it accidently than the spot lock.

So, how do you really feel about the north button?

Had a guy ask me last week what the N button was. I didn’t even try to fake knowing the answer.
