Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cylinder work with both 80lb and 112lb motors?
Yes! This cylinder is uniquely engineered to provide optimal lift assist performance for both 24V 80lb and 36V 112lb Ultrex motors, provided they have 52" shafts and both required MEGA systems installed.
Why is extended shaft length important for cylinder selection?
The 52" shaft creates different leverage characteristics compared to shorter shafts. Combined with the weight and positioning of dual MEGA systems, this requires a specifically calibrated cylinder to maintain proper lift assist function.
What happens if I use this cylinder without both MEGA systems?
The cylinder is calibrated for the specific weight of both MEGA Live TargetLock and MEGA 360 systems. Using it without both systems may result in over-assistance, making the motor difficult to control during deployment.
Is this cylinder compatible with other shaft lengths?
No. This cylinder is specifically engineered for 52" shaft motors. Different shaft lengths require their corresponding cylinder models for proper balance and operation.
How do I know if my lift assist needs this upgrade?
Signs include increased effort required to deploy or stow the motor, jerky operation, or the motor feeling significantly heavier after installing both MEGA imaging systems on your 52" shaft Ultrex.
Marine Electronics Integration Specialist
Extended shaft Ultrex motors with dual MEGA imaging systems represent some of the most sophisticated trolling motor setups available. The 1854071 cylinder is essential for maintaining the refined operation these systems deserve. The extended shaft length combined with the substantial weight of both MEGA transducers creates unique mechanical challenges that this cylinder solves expertly. I've installed dozens of these cylinders, and the improvement in lift assist operation is immediately noticeable - it's a must-have upgrade for any serious angler running this configuration.
Ultrex Lift Assist Cylinder for 80/112LBS Motors with 52” Shaft Length
These replacement lift assist cylinders for Ultrex trolling motors work by increasing the effective weight of the overall lift assist system to account for the added weight of aftermarket Humminbird transducers being added to the shaft of these motors. Compatible only with both Mega 360 and Mega LIVE TargetLock, these replacement cylinders restore the original effect of the lift assist bracket in their associated motors.
Features:
- Increases effect of lift-assist for motors equipped with both Humminbird® MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock™ and Humminbird® MEGA 360 Imaging™
- reduces the effort required for motor stow and deploy
- replaces the factory standard lift assist cylinder
- Designed for 24V, 80lb or 36V, 112lb Ultrex™ motors with a shaft length of 52”
