Thread: Would someone school me on the MotorGuide Xi5?

PM sent

Wanted to follow up with this. I purchased the Xi5 and took it out this past Saturday and it worked great. It was so nice to have it on a windy, no gas engine lake. I ran this thing all day and it kept me everywhere I wanted to stay. I just sat back and used the hand controller.

I also want to thank Jigsoaker for all of his help. True gentleman here. Helped me through all my questions very thoroughly. Made it a lot easier to understand specifics about how the unit operates. I'm very satisfied and as I told Jigsoaker, this is a game changer for me.

Your gona love it ! Just curious ; what length shaft did you go with? I have seen cable lifts for them but haven't heard much about them.

I went with the 45". Probably should have went a little longer to make it easier to grab but it's not that big of a deal.

Glad to lend a helping hand!!!

There are many types ; just depends on how much you want to spend. Its just a bike handle. Search the internet for bike accessories or you can make your own.

Saw a picture of one and took picture to local bike shop parts department. Within minutes I had this. Grip was extra. <*)}}}><
