Not even sure if this is possible...

Does anybody have an extra ultrex mounting bracket lying around? One I could borrow or even buy from you?

I took my TM off of the mounting bracket to have some work done on it. Somehow, some way, while I was hauling the boat to the house some parts on the mounting bracket came lose and are on the highway somewhere. I dunno. Stupid. I called All-Star and they said minn kota won't be open again until Friday and it takes about a week to receive the parts I need. Problem is I'm leaving for Beaver on Tuesday. Wonderful timing.

So...here I am.. realmad

Would a 52" mounting bracket be compatible with a 45" shaft?

no you didnt say what size you had, you could take the parts off it you need though since you said you lost some parts

If it’s the little “cups” that ride inside the mono arm, or the yolk, I have some new ones here that I haven’t bothered to install yet. I’m in south dfw area.

Trying to think what parts could fall off? I took mine off at the allen head bolt when I sent it for service. I don’t think there was anything that could fall off like that.

I’ve compared what I have left attached to the parts manual and I’m missing 6 pieces ranging from bearing nyliners to washers to a screw and a left side bow guard mount. I have zero idea how any of them came loose.

Dang man! You gotta check those screws every 8-10 trips fishing. More often in really rough water.

I’ll take pics of the parts I have tomorrow. If you need any of them, they’re yours if you arrange to pick them up.

Oh!!! Call Zack Birge at Southwest parts and service. When I was there last, he had a whole wall of cubbies full of MinnKota parts. I know they are open 6-days. Maybe (likely) not tomorrow(4th).
