If your Minn Kota Ulterra or Riptide Ulterra motor is deployed with the motor lower unit less than 14-15 inches below the aluminum base extrusion, it will not steer in either direction and the motor lower unit will not run. This feature is used to eliminate the chance of the motor lower unit or prop contact the boat hull. Simply trim your motor out of the lockout region and the motor will begin to work.
