I finished the installation of my Ultrex. Took it to the river yesterday, calibrated the heading sensor, set the heading offset, and everything works as advertised. I do a lot of off shore fishing and believe the addition of the Ultrex will help me catch a lot more fish.Thanks everyone, especially John of Jones Trolling Motor, for the info. Everyone that is except the BCB moderator who attempted to school me on the definition of a heading sensor. I started my career many years ago in aviation electronics. I have probably “swung” more compasses than this person will ever see, in addition to calibrating some of the more complex navigation systems of the time. If this person is supposed to help BCB in their customer relations department, he has failed miserably. All I wanted was a short straight forward answer. He obviously has not read the Ultrex heading sensor instructions regarding its location . But to give the devil its due, I did try and then installed the heading sensor adjacent to the trolling motor mount. With the trolling motor deployed it does not interfere with the heading sensor and I was able to calibrate it.Just sayin.
