Lost Bicycle Seat at Fork and Ultrex Issue

Lost Bicycle Seat at Fork and Ultrex Issue - 08/03/20 04:55 PM

It’s a stretch but thought I would try. I had a bit of a mental lapse yesterday and left my seat laying on the back deck. I was either in big Mustang or out in front big and little mustang on the main lake when it left the boat or on 17 driving to 515 from the big mustang area. Was dealing with a ultrex not working correctly and can’t remember exactly which time I forgot to put it back in hole. Lol. frown If anyone by chance found or finds one floating please let me know. Only have had the boat for a few weeks. But I am expecting the fish have some new living room furniture......so annoyed with myself.

Also, my Ultrex works wonderfully until spot lock disengages, sounding the four beeps, and then the foot control momentary switch and constant on button do not run the motor. The pedal turns the head fine but doesn’t send power to motor. I can run the motor from the remote fine and all functions work perfectly except the momentary switch and constant on through the foot pedal. Therefore it is isolated to the foot pedal. Also it’s intermittent so the foot pedal will work most of the day then all of a sudden glitch for a bit and then start working again. No interference on pedal and cables have plenty of play.

Has anyone experienced this? What was the fix? Who do y’all recommend around Fork for Minnkota warranty work?

I read about adjusting the momentary switch so popped the button off and pushed down the reed with my finger and checked ribbon cables under pedal. Of course it started working again and worked the rest of the day but it has done so without touching anything.

They have helped me out twice so far. He even came back up to the shop for me one time when I had a tournament coming up. I won’t soon forget it...
