Bought one a couple of months ago. Brilliant piece of kit, worth every cent. It's like having a crew member on-board. I'm not kidding when I say you get 90% of the normal boat handling time given to you to fish with. I fish alone a lot in estuaries and lakes and the sheer joy this bow motor gives to a session on the water cannot be fully appreciated until you experience it. It changed the way I fish and best of all I truly catch more fish now. It's the safest tool for the small boat I've ever had too, your ability to hold a position in wind and current without the worry of drifting is unsurpassed. If fish could talk, they'd object most strenuously to any fisherman ever owning a Motorguide GPS unit.

Hey Starlo. I'm thinking about switching to MG Xi5 too.
Are you still happy with yours?
Sure am!
what did you change from ? how do they compare to the minn kota?
Changed from an MK. Used them for years and really liked them, but my new Xi5 has the edge in performance, I reckon.
Probably been paid to switch
I wish!
