52" Ultrex

[Gasbasser]

I put a 52″ Ultrex on my Jag tonight.  It was a lot more trolling motor than I was expecting.  I hope I don’t regret not getting the 45″.  Swapping out the Fortrex wasn’t horrible.  Wish the access to the bolts was a little better but I managed.  I had to get very creative reaching the front 2 bolts and holding the backer plate.

Youll be good. I went with a 52 as well and really haven`t found a negative yet.

Did you think it was quite large?  I was shocked.

I put a 52 inch ultrex on my Jag and it works fantastically. No issues in getting in port rod box and when it is choppy no cavitation.

Your coming from a 45″,you will think it looks big. You will get used to it and love it.

Not a big fan of drilling holes in my Bass Cat.  So I read about someone placing the heading sensor here.  Hole was already in the bottom of the cup  holder.  Cut out this “plastic” piece and here you go.  Will silicone down the black piece once I am sure it is working correct.  Tapped in to the ACC power in source.  Very easy.  Much easier than removing and installing the front 2 bolts on the trolling motor.  For the record, none of this was an original thought.

I did the same thing, but put the sensor inside the cup holder itself. I used a cut down plastic 1 quart paint mixing container from home depot as a filler to bring the puck up to the right height. I put a bead of silicone around the puck to hold it in place, and some under the lip of the cup holder to keep it from shifting.

Does your sensor work well there?  Any issues with it’s placement?
