A super fair and level headed comparison of the two. I know it was likely an older model Minn Kota that I had previously used, but I think the Motorguide is far more responsive and is ridiculously conservative regarding battery usage. That said, the foot pedal design is just dopey - not everyone grew up using cable steer systems and pushing forwards to turn left just isn't intuitive. At the very least do the same thing as the Minn Kota and have directional arrows on the front edge.
As always, love your stuff drew and Congrats on 10k Subs!
Agree on the foot pedal! Terrible design.
Background music was too loud hard to hear the orientation on the motors.
I’ve got the MG,had it for 3 years,never had a problem. Love it!!
Good comparison! I have the minn kota and I love it!
My remote has never disconnected either 🤷🏽♂️
Been looking for a good comparison! Awesome Mate.
Good to hear 👍
Great vid Drew. I researched MK's and MG's for about a month for my new boat. Ended up going with the MotorGuide Xi3 (smaller footprint than the Xi5 and no overhang) and will add a foot pedal later. The Ulterra and Terrova were both overpriced IMO, for what you're getting.
Just stumbled across your channel. Nice work. The one item you didn’t comment on was accuracy of GPS and spot lock one motor compared to the other. As a lure fisher hitting snags all day it gets annoying when my boat drifts way off mark before it kicks in and repositions to “ locked spot “ I have an old 80 lb Minn I Pilot and it’s GPS anchor lock is terrible. At next upgrade was looking into something different unless they have made it more accurate. Thanks for the other info though.
Great video man
Awesome stuff
Thanks very much
Good review, just kill the music. It is hard to hear you talking with the loud music in the background.
Awesome video Drew M !! I love your videos Drew M !! Your the Best TH-camr Drew M !! Keep up the amazing work Drew M !! Cheers William !!
Hi Drew, that was one of the best instructional videos on TH-cam. Thanks
Video production tip: the music to be an under score could come down about 6dB, at times your excellent narration was competing with the music. I hope this helps
Fair call. This was my first time doing a narration...only took 3000 takes haha 👍
Hi Drew, I look forward to seeing your channel becoming number one on TH-cam. My helps comes from thirty years in the video production business. Cheers Chris
ditto! the music was annoying. I have a motorguide wireless model that came with my boat. The foot pedal does the same thing you mentioned. I bought the remote for it and use it instead. I want an Xi5, but only because I used Lowrance sounders.
Great review thanks, just the background music is way too loud, hard to hear your voice sometimes.
I’ve got a 55lb Motorguide. The only issues I’ve had was a batch issue with the lower units rust proofing. Murcury replaced the lower unit and it’s been fine since. The other thing it does, every now and then, is go nuts. You’ll be spot locked or heading locked and it’ll turn one way or the other and go to power 10. I’ve not been pitched overboard yet, but it’s a little hairy when standing up on the front deck near the motor and suddenly it decides it doesn’t want to keep calm.
Otherwise though I love it. Remote battery lasts for ages (simplicity is good sometimes) and it can save 8 tracks and 8 waypoints that it’ll go to when you press the button. Gotta write them down or make a note in your phone what location each one is though.
Yep I've had lots of people tell me they had the paint/rust issue.
Drew M on a positive note the new one has been fine. Great video btw. Good to mix up your channel a little.
Great vid, good to see a good side by side comparison.
My minnkota gave me grief while under warranty, steering went.
Minn Repairs took great care of it and hasn’t missed a beat since.
Good to know they sorted it for you 👍👍
Sweet clip man 🤙
Cheers mate 👍
Hi mate, after watching this video I decided to go with the Minn Kota. Just wondering what you do to clean it and maintain it after use? Thanks and great videos mate.
Hi Drew, just wonderring what shaft length are you running on your Minn Kota / Motorguide? Cheers
If you had to pick one - which would it be and why?
I am having trouble concentrating on you with the background music.
Same 😂
It's way to loud for a tutorial type video
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
Thanks Drew. I really want to go MG for price and Lowrance compat. But lots of reviews saying the spot lock is poor, in that it pulls you off the spot by a fair bit first then moves back to it, and also seems to hunt or over-correct more than the MK. Any thoughts on the positioning accuracy of the 2?
great review. Thanks for doing the side by side. I have the MG and love it but I've had the same issues a couple times with having to reset and re-stow. I do have a question about the pinpoint though. When I set the anchor the gps positions the bow facing into the current. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in order to ensure that the boat remains positioned exactly in the direction that I am pointed?
Excellent vid mate. Wanted the auto deploy minn kota 112lb for my 6.7 Hooker but the largest retailer in QLD said don't do it ALL the auto deploy mechanisms fail. Not much else in the space to choose from, which just gives me the royal shits.
Yep I know a guy that had that issue. Seems as though keep it simple is the best option
Hi mate I have the Auto deploy 80lb thrust never had a problem touch wood 3 maybe 4 years old works great.
Looking at Moto Guide xi5 gps anyone had problems is it worth the money how long do you reckon get out of the motor on these this 5 years + , I don’t know Mike Marine does Minnkota, Also how do you go wash them as well
nice🎣
That's a really fancy minn Kota remote, my works sells minnkota and I fit them but the remote out of the box isn't that nice, did you have to buy that as an extra?
I pilot link
Everyone writes that the Motorguides are much cheaper, but I am finding them over $1500 and finding Minnkota under $1400. Does any one have price comparison links?
Good one mate. A bit of a change from the fishing. Cheers
You'd be surprised the amount of people that hit me up weekly about this issue
Could anyone recommend me a electric put bored for under like 400 ish been wanting one just need to find the right one mostly wanting it for Monduran dam
Is the minn kota the 80lb motor..
Xi5 is 5 years old and had to replace the gps in it. Keeping it and the lowrance working together is more than a pain in the butt. Next time it's minn kota and hummingbird. Xi5 is just too much trouble.
My motorguide is the same noise in both directions. Seems like yours has some sort of problem.
Id get that noise looked at on the minn-kota...
I have the same one as you, and its whisper quiet when it turns. That was really scary!
Really? That's interesting..mine has been like that since new. Even now it's only 6 mths old..might make a few calls.
@@DrewMinto Ill take a vid of mine next time im out if you like - about 3-4 weeks. If I was you, id definitely be making some calls, thats not normal at all! Im sure you will get that sorted!
Mine is exactly same as Drews
I tried my brand spanking new Haswing 55lb GPS electric motor yesterday and had a ball. Good by anchor. Great motor for the $ as long as it keeps working.......😳
BIGROBAUSSIE how’s that going for you?
@@dontorrey6117 so far so good. 👍
Hows the haswing holding up? I am looking at it, maybe in the 80lber
I am looking fat the 80lb Haswing too. Had a 55 lb and it was great but sold the boat after 1 season so dont know how it would have held up. Not sure the 80 comes with a long enough shaft though.
I’m hesitant to buy any at the moment.. seem to see issues with both
Great comparison. The issues are annoying considering how expensive they are!
Yes unfortunately they could improve
As I understand it there's around $1000 difference between them, at least for the 80lb versions. The minn being most expensive. Care to comment whether you think the $1000 extra is worth it for those extra bells and whistles? Always had a MK on my boat and am looking for an upgrade but I think I may be getting a motorguide this time around.
Herbal to me, no $1000 for a better wireless remote doesn’t seem to cut it, not even close🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE LEGENDARY "RHODAN"..THEY STARTED THE GPS SPOT-LOCK..MADE IN THE USA..
Not sure if its just my Minn kota or what, but do you find that the motorguide spots locks much faster than the Minn kota ?
I haven't noticed too much of a difference.
wheres a good place to buy the either of these from?
probs find a pro store for the minn kota..like tackleworld. Motorguide i think you can only get from mercury dealers.
Bluebottle fishing sell both. Not related to them, just a satisfied customer.
Would suggest a new edit on this where you take the background music down a few notches, found it competes for attention with your voice.
Pointless tho, for years people have been telling people about the music and if you make videos you def know about music vs no music. Some just choose to play music regardless unfortunetly.
Nice review mate. Electric motors are amazing...I'd have a rusty anchor and a dodgy deck hand on board otherwise. 👌👌
Best thing you will ever buy for a boat
@@DrewMinto absolutely!!! Just gotta sneak it past the boss 😂
Any reason why you're now running the motorguide?
It was sitting it the shed for 4 months now so thought I give her a go 👍
Too bad we have back ground music. Annoying. I wanted to hear you. Not the music. 9 out of 10. Other than that great job
Music 🎶 so loud can’t hear guy talking
Hey mate, looked through all the comments and couldn’t see what size motors you are comparing for your size boat.
Both 80lb 👍
@@DrewMinto thanks mate, do you think a 55lb would work ok on your size boat? Or wouldn’t be enough thrust for big currents/wind etc?
Had a 55lb and it struggled abit in the wind or current
@@DrewMinto thanks mate, I’ll wait it out and get the 80lb then.
Turn the music off!#
Turn the subtitles on stupid
Freaken music ruined all, but very informative thanks
Oh my coppers u like u do what u do oooohhhhh
Bought two XI3s. Returned them both. Junk!
Some brilliant informative information shame it was ruined by that stupid music .. what's the point of playing that over the top .?
Just to make you work for your free content 😉
@@DrewMinto haha what a gold comment
Whaaaaat there was no motor guide info at all hardly bro. MG eats MC all day.
good video, thanks! but why the terrible backround music???So enoying
it would have been much better and much more understandable without the loud music.
Haha terra nova?
sorry - cant hear you - music was too loud
Haswing Anchor Control GPS 12V 54" Shaft 55lbs Trolling Motor
Jack Lawson how do you like it
0:54 That is NOT an Ethernet cable, lol
Not at that time stamp it's not haha they both have ethernet capabilities to their respective compatible sounders
God that music is unbearable.
Do you feel better now?
background music sucks
Too expensive for what they are. I’ll keep on using my anchor. Not everyone wants or needs a tournament setup with all the bells and whistles.
Avoid Motor Guide! Especially the XI5. Worst reliability and horrible customer service.
Music is way too loud! Stopped watching after 20 seconds.
Thanks for commenting, it really helps TH-cam recommend it to other
I hope you've done away with the bloody music in subsequent videos.
