It is a bit tough to tell from the angle of the pic, but how much clearance is there from the MinnKota Fortrex aluminum arm to the boat deck when retracted/stowed? More, less or similar clearance to MaxPro?

Thanks Ward. I can compress the actuator approx 1/3 of the slide distance by hand. I guess I am looking forward to some brake maintenance activities… I will try to get in touch with UFP guys and see what they suggest. Thanks again.

My 2004 PClassic came with TE82 installed. I replaced with MaxxumPro and more recently a Fortrex and I was able to use all six bolts in the existing holes; guess I was lucky! I did have to take the side faceplate off of the Fortrex mount to access the bolt heads, but it only took me about ten minutes to swap trolling motors both times. As mentioned previously, I did cut a piece of rubber mat for a spacer between the topcap and base of the Fortrex mount. The Fortrex has been great. My only issue is that when retracted its slightly higher than previous motors and is a snug fit for my Deans cover.

Like NELACAT, I too have installed the 3M clear-bra-protection-film in a few select areas prone to scratches/abrasion including the splashwell. So far so good…

My Fortrex has the serial number on a silver sticker on the underside of the headBEN

For what it is worth I upgraded my MaxxumPro 80 to a Fortrex 80 on my 2004 P Classic. Deans cover is tighter, but just fit.
