I have an Ulterra and absolutely love it. No problems with the stow/deploy. It is in fact my favorite feature. I back my boat in the lake, deploy, and spot lock it all by remote while I park. Saves getting in and out of the boat as much. As mentioned, great to fire up the outboard and stow the tm while behind the console. I mainly pull cranks and rarely go to the front of the boat anymore. It's nice to be able to operate the tm without ever laying a finger on it. The remote trim is also pretty handy at times. I like to run it as close to the surface as I can for accurate depth readings using the integrated transducer, but being able to drop it down when waves or boat wakes get the boat rocking is nice.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, unless you fish for a living.
