Great, great video! Thanks! I didn't want to cut any rubber washers because I thought I might need them. Since the motor came with 6 rubber washers, I just used a rubber washer under each side of the 3 split washers to slide them out of the way as I slid the motor onto the quick release bracket. It worked pretty well.
Two years later this motor is going strong ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
Great videos even though I had dealership complete the installs. At 8:04 you picked up the trolling motor with ease. I don’t know you, and my initial thought was must be a football player.
Love to have one but to expensive for me. I have the power drive on my boat and it is great but still don’t know all the ends and outs of it yet. Wish I could get one of these at a deal sometime somewhere.
Hi Wired2Fish - our minn kota was stuck in between the holder on the stow position and tried to pull the housing trim unit so that we can push the pole and the motor out but was unable to, any suggestion how can we remove this from the in between holder, the motor as sitting in 90 degrees position with the fan facing upward on stow position - need help and assistance as every time we bring this to the boat shop it always cost us more than 1000 - that is every time we have an issue we are here in darwin, northern territory - thanks and I appreciate it
Hurry get rid of it before your stuck on the water like thousands of other fishermen and women. The worst model ever, just look at all the reviews of people asking for help on how to fix or repair it. Love Minn-Kota But they really screwed everyone on this model! KAK
Without question, this is the BEST how-to video in the boating industry. Well done!
We appreciate it! Andy does a great job sharing his hard-earned knowledge in his installation videos.
Great installation video, feeling much more confident in installing my new Ultera this weekend.
Very Professional instructor sharing valuable information.

Great video, thanks for making this for us!
Awesome job with this installation video! I feel a lot more confident in effort to install my Ulterra! Thank you!
What we love to hear. Thanks for watching the video.
Excellent video I'm having my dealer install on my boat, but this is very helpful.

Your install videos are so clean, thanks. Would love to see an install video on MKA-57 quick release bracket and a Quest Ulterra. Thanks
So well done. I’ll give it a try.
Awesome! Good luck and thanks for the note.
Good stuff Andy!
👀 🪛 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
That’s a nice, clean installation my friend!
Thanks 👍
Do you have a favorite QR bracket for Terrova Quest?

That's an excellent observation! He played D1 for the MN Gophers 🏈
Row the boat, probably a little after his time. Reference to current head coach.

Does the trolling motor need to be 90 degrees when deployed? Mine is not.
Awesome video!!
Thanks for the visit
Is it too much to ask to demonstrate the installation as the motor comes? (without the UPGRADED quick release bracket)
Does the extension from the trolling motor connect to 5 port switch if you have one? Thanks.
Will I be able to hook the trolling motor to garmin or will I have to buy hummingbird
Depends on if you get dual chirp or down imaging.

Please make a video without the quick release mount
Bolt it to the boat if u can cuz the quick release is simple for Theives. Go into a store for a second and your motor is gone.
Hurry get rid of it before your stuck on the water like thousands of other fishermen and women.
The worst model ever, just look at all the reviews of people asking for help on how to fix or repair it. Love Minn-Kota
But they really screwed everyone on this model!
