    Default Ulterra stowing problem


    I had to do a manual stow on my ulterra now I read in the manual it has to go to service center to be reset. Anybody know how to go about resetting it or any ideal. I hate to not have a boat while I wait to get it reset. Thanks Mike

    I was told that it can be done by the ulterra owner unless a component failed. Call Jerry's Trolling motor repair in K.C. 816-591-3984. He's easy to talk to. We discussed it a year or so ago when I was in there for a Motorguide repair. He's a Minn kota authorized repair center. Have your manual handy and familiarize yourself with how the ulterra operates mechanically before calling. I think Minnkota recommends sending it in for reset because many people can't follow detailed instructions. I need to get my hands on the reset instructions in case that happens to me. I looked at the way the Ulterra works and what happens when a manual stow is required. I don't think resetting is that complicated unless you had a component failure. Ice buildup, a loose belt, or prolonged dry shaft will shut em down. Please let us know how it goes.

    Ok I will my son was actually using it. Said the belt got real loose it’s been sitting since October. So I don’t know what caused that. I followed the reset instructions in the manual but it doesn’t respond. I’ll give him a call thanks

    I tried to reset it that way. But it wouldn’t respond. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or I have other problems.

    Thanks for all the help. The problem was mine was stuck on something I called the service department and they told me how to free it up. They said they can get stuck very easily it’s a safety thing to keep it from tearing it self up. After I got it freed I did the reset from the link Tony posted. Thanks a again Tony. And it’s working great.
