Does anyone here have an xi5 trolling motor that's operated with the hand remote?
Yep, love it. But it is my first GPS motor so I cant compare to others on most aspects. I can tell you the anchor mode with the 2 GPS heads is far more accurate than the Minn Kota.
Yes, and like mine as well.
Is either one of yours the 12 volt model?
I HAVE ONE THAT IS 12 VOLTS AND I ONLY USE THE HAND REMOTE,IN FEB I WILL HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS.I LOVE IT BUT DO WISH THEY WOULD SOON MAKE ANOTHER HAND REMOTE,THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE COMING OUT WITH A NEW ONE LATER,HOPE IT WILL BE ABLE TO HIT NUMBER AND THAT WILL BE YOUR SPEED
Great.
If you press a stored anchor point button on the remote, does it take off at full speed to reach the anchor point without being able to control the speed?

If you hit tell it to go to a way point it will take off but you can slow it down. I love mine....best money my wife ever spent.
No it does not take off at full speed. Slowly ramps up and takes you to a way pount.Hope that helps
Picked one up this year coming from a minn kota Terrova and was very happy i did, the remote is basically a plain remote that could use some upgradesQuote:

Minn kota is coming out with a new Terrova with improved spot lock anchor feature. Very accurate and will hold you within 2ft in good wind.
I DOUBT ANY MOTOR WILL HOLD YOU WITHIN 2 FEET EVEN ON THE TRAILER,LOL
Youtube the videos. Don't shoot the messenger!
GABEPEEPS,DID NOT MEAN THIS OFFENSIVE,JUST KNOW IT CAN NOT DO THAT,YOUR GPS ON DEPTH FINDER PARK ON BANK WILL SHIFT OFF COARSE MORE THAN THAT
I have the Xi5 with the gateway cable and I put a DI transducer on it. It works very well. I like the bump 5' feature the most.
