New and improved Ulterra iPilot
Well, got a call from trollingmotors.net yesterday saying the 2017 Ulterra was now available. Minn Kota is calling it the Riptide Ulterra for the saltwater version and it is supposed to have the new and improved Spotlock and also the jog feature along with a new remote and bluetooth capability for use with a smartphone app. Apparently, MK is using an additional GPS receiver that mounts somewhere else in the boat to achieve a tighter spot lock Needless to say, I ordered one and it is supposed to be delivered Monday. I had previously sold my "non Ulterra" iPilot in anticipation of this model coming out. Time will tell if it is all it's supposed to be.

Well, finally put it all together. Used the MK-47 mount to install and went today to try it out. One word description: WOW! Much better than my old iPilot. The self deploy and stow along with the trim is fantastic. Seems that the spot lock is much better than before and the jog feature is great. Had a little trouble pairing it and the heading sensor, but after contacting MK tech support, everything went great. Couldn't be happier, but we were only playing today, the true test will be when we actually use it to catch fish. BTW, I looked and looked for the "locate fish" button, but so far, haven't found it.

Where did you mount the external heading sensor?
