Minn Kota Maintenance

Operator Maintenance on a self deploy Minn kota Ulterra #minnkota

[euyoooo]

Wayne!
To be honest, Minn Kota should sponsor you for the number of motors you saved with those tips. No one ever told me about greasing those round connection points with dielectric grease! I went through 1 engine already within the first year and had to manually stow it on a rough day. I got the new replacement motor, and after 8 hours out in the salt, I was shocked to find out the amount of green corrosion that built up already within 8 hours!!!
I cleaned the connections really well, kept applying dielectric grease before going out every time, and didn't have any problems since! Thanks again!!

There seem to be a lot of people NOT doing this maintenance, AND having related problems. THANKS for excellent pointers!!

BIGGEST GAME CHANGER: rough seas and ‘worn’ older knees—-NO MORE BALANCING ACTS TO DEPLOY/STOW MOTOR!!! Enough…Deep in southern coastal Louisiana, U S A!😀

great clip - I have had my Ulterra since 2018 and eventually worked out what maintenance was required from following various posts. Beyond me why Minn Kota hasn't produced something like you have done

Good practical kiwi demo and talk through. Beats deciphering the manual. Avoid water blaster as part of the typical boat wash down too.

Excellent tips, didn't know about the stow/deploy switch, I also use silicon spray on the shaft and toothed rubber tape about every third trip, have had mine since early 2018, also dialectic grease is for electrical connections, I use it at work, and employ a wipe on then wipe off technic for the stainless steel rings as too much will case issues, I wouldn't put it directly onto the brushes

Spot on mate, done the same on mine and no issues.

Why are the salt water self deploy/ stow only made in white? Kinda ridiculous we can't have a color option. Good video

I have one Problem with my ulterra. I can put it in and out, thats all. I dont can Turn it arround or Start the Engine or Start the anchor. I Make the reset Three times. May be you can help me.

2:40 I wonder if I could use di-electric grease here..

[robs]

So basically these are designed for freshwater bass fishing, not Nz saltwater. Was lukewarm interested in one but think I’ll flag. Don’t need all this extra work every other trip. And surely those electrical connections aren’t going to last long term given electricity+salt+metal 😬

Do not grease that worm gear worst thing you can do

Good info thanks mate. Hard to find any reliable service info.
