I have been launching my boat like that for two years even when I have people in the boat, just have to make sure it is on and working before you back into water
I just bought a new terrova. Only had it in the water once. Trading it in for the ulterra. I like you fish by myself and this is a game changer for me. Thanks for the video!
I've used mine on the Savannah river in GA. Current 4-5 knots. My spot lock was "spot" on. Remained stern downstream just as it should. Go practice with either some long ropes or a chase boat.
Mauricio Miranda I love it! Great boat. I actually bought it from ASFB Marine at the end of last year. Wishing it was bigger... But I guess I’ll just have to upgrade in a couple years!
@@hookedonreelin4958 Beautiful boat, how much did that boat cost and does that place do financing? How much monthly payments? Oh and by the way what is the distance before the remote control loses signal from the Minn Kota? Thanks In Advance 👍🏼
Yes you can! If you have a Humminbird finder it can easily just sync up with a cable. I believe the last I heard MinnKota was coming out with adapter to fit the Lowrance systems as well. I really great unit.
Dave N. I got it online at oceansouth.us (Ocean South USA) they have tons of options and I believe they also sell their stuff on amazon as well. Less than $100 if I remember correctly.
@@hookedonreelin4958 Thanks! I also have an Ulterra and love it. I’m on a 24 volt system though and have been wondering how long batteries will last trolling for trout.
@@aProudOG Honestly, if my batteries are fully charged it’ll last all day, or even a couple of days only because I have the MinnKota Alternator charger which helps keep the batteries charged while I’m trolling. Since I don’t have a kicker I run my main engine to troll all day. How long does your system usually last being on a 24v system?
@@hookedonreelin4958 I use it mainly for crappie fishing, have never really trolled with it but now want to give trout a try. Batteries usually last all day when I move around hunting crappie but once last year after using spot lock all day, the charge waned to a point where GPS wouldn’t hold the boat in place. I troll for stripers on the delta using the big motor and can go as slow as 2.5 mph depending on wind and current.
@@aProudOG Trolling for trout is a good time! Trout like it fast, so anywhere between 2.5 - 3.0mph so you’ll be ok. If you want to slow things down a bit and go for Kokanee you look into getting a trolling plate. It works great and I can get down to 1.2mph now when before the slowest I could go was 2.5. I mainly just use my Ulterra to steer. I keep the trolling motor at 2.5 usually which is just enough to track straight or steer the boat around with my main barely in gear. Works fine all day no problem.
The remote disconnects once you’re out of range. But once you get back in range it reconnects. However the spot lock stays engaged the entire time. I have been doing this for one year now and have never had an issue with it reconnecting.

Trolling motor, cool....
The boat is what I am looking at! That thing is sick! We need a tour of it!
It still raises my beats per minute through the roof every time I do it, and I’ve never had the nerve to try it on a river.

Love my Ulterra 🎣
I think that’s the longest boat launch I’ve ever seen
people told me todo that and I said wait for it🥴 Never would I do that! Too many things can go wrong!
New owner, have you had any problem parking and being out of range? Any new updates?
Love your videos. Can you do a tour of your boat.
Love mine 👍
Very nice gadgets! Love it!!! Too bad we cannot afford one!! Haha
I love mine. No more wet feet at the ramp.
Why would you not tie it up when it's that close?
Thunderjet 186, I was going to get the same model from A Small Fishing boat. How are you liking it.

... and never forget your remote! Haha
Sweet boat! What is the make?
I wondered the same thing scanned the video and found it is a Thunder Jet on an EZ Loader trailer with a Mercury outboard and the Ulterra. Nice setup!
You need to add a stabilizer to the motor while traveling. It saves the motor
can you connect this trolling motor to your fish finder? and set points and then go back to them?
Yes you can! If you have a Humminbird finder it can easily just sync up with a cable. I believe the last I heard MinnKota was coming out with adapter to fit the Lowrance systems as well. I really great unit.
What kinda boat is that? That’s a bad ass looking boat.
Don’t forget it Unstrap it and make sure there is nothing In the way of it coming up
Where did you get the rocket launcher rod holders?

@@hookedonreelin4958 Thanks man!
24 or 36 volt trolling motor battery system?
It’s a 36 volt system.

That looks like my weldcraft maverick
You ever take that boat to the bay
Yeah it’s been to the bay quite a bit.
Get you some eternal lithium batteries bro
Can’t see the buttons you’re pressing and referencing . Nice try though
Mines A POS, constantly breaking or faulting errors
all it takes is one fuck up like me, had to get a boater to take me to my boat...
I don't get it, don't you have to be in range of the remote? You parked so far from your boat? I thought the range was only 100 feet...
MinnKota's manual says the range is 30 feet !!!
