In this video I install Ultrex cables on my bass fishing boat. They broke while I was out on the water and the foot pedal was completely loose with no tension. If this has ever happened to you, it is an easier fix than you might think! My Ultrex was under warranty and I picked up the cables at the nearest ultrex dealer. They did not have time to install it, so I installed them myself to make it in time for the tournament! Hope you enjoyed the video! God bless!

Thanks for this. One tip. When you tie the old cable to the new one, wrap it in electrical tape. It'll fish easier and add strength.

Helping my fishing buddy with his ultrex. Your video is a blessing for us old folks. Got the new cables in but ran into a big problem, one of them seemed to fit but the other was way to long. Looked at the part numbers on the old cables and one ended in 515 and the other ended in 505. The new cables that the parts person gave us were both 515’s. Three hour drive to the dealer for the wrong parts!

Exactly what I needed to see, the wrapping of the cable up front.

Dude, thanks for the post. This video helped me install two new cables, just in the nick of time (tournament in three days). Keep posting bud, you're helping folks like me that don't want to wait for, or pay for a repair shop!

My brand new Ultrex foot pedal doesn’t seem to move at all up or down . Do I need to completely remove the tension screw from under foot control ?

@troydunn04 2 жыл бұрын

what was the symptom when it broke? did the pedal flop freely or did the tm head move to the left by itself?

Loose pedal! And when on spot lock only turned one way and wrapped

I got the 2 cables replaced as per your video and now the things work in reverse. I verified the right cables to the correct side which they can fit only one way. When I try to turn motor to the right(toe press) the pedal starts to go down but it is forcing the pedal back up and motor goes left. And opposite for other direction. Manually turning the shift every turns correctly. Confused at this point. Any suggestions? Thanks

@FishingwithNordbye 3 жыл бұрын

Hmmm I would say the cables are swapped on the connections somehow or not wrapped around the piece they connect to at the head correctly

How long did it actually take. Lol bet not a three minute video. Every time I do a 15 minute job it ends up taking me 2 hours. I’m sure you can relate

i did mine .It is much easier to cut that rubber sleeve fron the trolling motor to foot pedal.Bass pro or amazon sells a upgrade for $20 cloth and velcro .Minn kota gave me the cables for free they upgraded them kind of a recall .Be very careful if you cut that sleeve easy to cut the wires inside.Thanks for your video.
