I really believe I maid a mistake getting the xi5. The foot foot pedal is why I chose the xi5 over the rhodan. (imo) the xi5 foot deal is crap). The xi5's composite shaft makes it vibererate to. Check out the rhodan. It's American made and has a much better mounting design. It cost a little more but looks to be worth it. HD GPS Anchor+ - Rhodan Marine

I am checking it out. Wish I knew someone that owns one. But I gotta do some serious checking now. Thanks for being the headsup. So far haven't seen anything on a foot switch. They ralk about two fobs. But anyway I need to look before I make a stupid statement. Thanks again!

If your interested, (Pm) me. I would sell you my xi5 for a lot less than a new trolling motor would cost. I can make a utube video, to show you what condition it's in. (it's got some scuffs on the mounting bracket that might make it worth, a little less. But it still functions, like a new one.

Make sure you start a thread to let us know how the Rhodan works.......I haven't seen any forum review of it......Sure wish Minn Kota would have improved the spot lock with the Ulterra.

I will. Order couldnt be done today on my part but tomorrow for sure. On another note the Onix sees all and tells all. Found some deep shellcracker today and caught some nice ones. That rhodan sure would have been nice in the wind. If I ever figure out the picture posting process I will show u some nw georgia shellcracker and surprisingly a walleye! Happy fishin'!

BOB, if you'll buy my xi5, I'll make some videos of the Rhodan, running on my boat. (I'll through in that slide bracket, that I made for free)
