Frequently Asked Questions
Why do high-thrust motors need a different cylinder?
112lb thrust motors are significantly heavier than standard motors. When combined with dual MEGA systems, the total weight requires a specially calibrated cylinder to maintain proper lift assist function and protect the mechanism.
Can I use this cylinder on other Ultrex configurations?
No. This cylinder is specifically engineered for 36V 112lb Ultrex motors with 45" shafts. Other configurations require their corresponding cylinder models for proper operation and warranty compliance.
What if I only have one MEGA system installed?
This cylinder is calibrated for the combined weight of both MEGA Live TargetLock AND MEGA 360 systems. Using it with only one system may result in over-assistance and poor motor control.
How does this differ from the 80lb motor cylinder?
The 112lb motor cylinder has enhanced spring tension and different calibration to handle the significantly greater weight of high-thrust motors plus dual MEGA systems - a combination that exceeds what standard cylinders can manage.
Is professional installation mandatory?
While not legally required, professional installation is strongly recommended for high-thrust motor applications to ensure proper function, maintain warranty coverage, and prevent damage to expensive equipment.
High-Performance Marine Systems Expert
The combination of a 112lb thrust Ultrex with dual MEGA imaging represents the pinnacle of trolling motor technology, and this cylinder upgrade is absolutely essential for optimal performance. In my years of working with high-end fishing systems, I've seen the dramatic improvement this cylinder provides - it transforms what can be a frustrating struggle into the smooth, professional operation these premium systems deserve.

Ultrex Lift Assist Cylinder for 112LB Motors with 45” 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 36V, 112lb Ultrex™ motors with a shaft length of 45”
