Thread: installing MG xi5 soon

YES I MADE THE SLIDING MOUNT,I LIKE IT,T KEEPS MOTOR AWAY

I have never had a problem launching or retrieving with the MG where it is mounted.

Gene that looks great

When I followed MG's installation instructions the head of the unit hung over the side too far, So, I had to remove the bow light fixture to install the Xi5, and will have to cut out some of the non skid stuff, but it should clear the Cumberland T bar and Df. I just hate to drill another hole for the Bowl light. Thanks for the help Don and Gene

Working on it today.
Now I have some tips to give!

Here is a pic of Me following Mg's instructions and keeping the bracket 4" off the point of the bowl, You can see how the TM head sticks out over the side of the boat, in order to change the angle so this didnt happen, I will have to remove the light fixture, and relocate it in one of the old Tm holes its either that or have the Tm hang about a foot off the point of the bowl!

I just had to cheat a bit and didn't follow the 4 in off the bow instructions. I didn't want to move my light.

I DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTION EITHER,I PUT IT WHERE IT FITS ME THE BEST

It's not as easy a job as you might think

KOMOS ,WILL GET IT FOR U IN A FEW DAYS,2 DR'S VISIT TODAY. WILL TAKE PIC ALSO.
