[QUOTE="scn, post: 5902673, member: 1859"] It is likely a motherboard issue which usually comes in as a $500 repair. Their warranty work is really hit and miss. I have a friend that had the ulterra and had his in the certified shop three times for repairs in two years before he finally said to heck with it and went down to the terrova that doesn't self deploy. He was caught about 20 miles off the coast of SC with one deployed that wouldn't come back into the boat. He didn't have the tools or the know how at that time to take it off, so it made for a long trip back. He learned if you owned one you really need to know how to disable it and have the tools to do so. The ulterra is the greatest thing since sliced bread when it works. But, if you go to some of the sites selling those TMs and read the reviews you will see that there are major issues with them and Minn Kota refuses to address the problems. I have the terrova as does my fishing buddy, and we haven't had any issues with that motor. If I was buying one today, I would probably try to buy the brushless motor that Power Pole is selling. They are very pricey, but, PP has an awesome reputation on their products and customer service. [/QUOTE]
