I currently have a Minnkota trolling motor on my 2013 Ranger Z119. If I buy a Ultrex can I just mount it on the boat and be good to go or will I have to do anything else? Thanks

Assume you have a Fortrex. The six mounting holes will line up. I have the same boat. Accessing those same bolts under the deck is the only challenge. Rest of the install is not complicated.

Like Michael said the holes you already have will almost certainly line up with the Ultrex. There are a ton of videos on Youtube to watch about installing an Ultrex. If you are remotely handy you can do it yourself easily.

Ok sounds easy enough. Thanks guys. Guess my main question is, do I just have to bolt it on and plug it in and it will be good to go?

There is more to it than "bolting and plugging in"
Foot pedal needs to be screwed down in your deck recess.
Your 24v ( or 36v ) power supply needs to be reconnected.
If you are using the built-in US2 sonar transducer, that lead needs to be installed at the head and routed to your bow sonar. You will have some adjustments to make.
I have the identical boat ( 2013 Z519 ) ...... took me 4-5 hours total and I ain't no mechanical whiz.
Don't want to suggest that you attach the cradle to your top-cap, insert and tighten 6 bolts, plug-in your power supply and you're fishing. There are excellent instructions from Minn-Kota, you-tube videos. Takes a little time to do the job correctly and cleanly .......

And don't forget to lay the velcro strap under before you bolt it down.

I've installed 2 Ultrexes and forgot both times!

Ultrex calls for a larger circuit breaker also. It’s an easy job but it takes a little time. You also have the gps puck to mount and power up. Pretty straight forward.
