    I am about to install this exact setup this weekend and your video gives me the confidence to do the job right the 1st time. Thank you. I have the Ultera on my other boat and look forward to see what the Xi5 can do. Sounds way quieter than the Ultera.

      For saltwater it really is a great trolling motor. A 60 amp circuit breaker is required. A 50amp will trip at full speed. Thank you for the comment brother.

    Keep your eye out for deals. I got an awesome clearance price from the bass pro website. Got their 36v 60" shaft Xi5 with both the remote and foot pedal for $1,499 (1,599 plus a $100 rebate.). There is a local shop that sells refurbished interstate group 29 deep cycles for 40 bucks each. So for about 1,620 + tax I was up and running.
    If course I still bought a quick release mount, breakers etc so it does still add up a bit lol.

      You can have one made all it is is 3 pieces of acrylic cut to fit the bow with holes drilled through it. I DID GET MINE FROM LMC MARINE OUT OF HOUSTON TX. YOU WILL NEED SOME LONG BOLTS OF COURSE.

    Hello.. Great video btw.. question and/or clarification. You mentioned the space between the motor column and rub rail is 1.5" but MG Manual states .5". Granted 1.5" is safer but just wanted check.
    Also, I noticed you didn't use the rubber isolators which is suggested to use unless motor is mounted on carpeted boat. Wonder why it was left off.
    Thanks in advance.

    • @251reeling9
      @251reeling9  3 года назад

      If you are mounting straight to fiberglass or straight to your aluminum deck yes you should use isolators. A friend of mine that works in a boat shop recommended the 1.5 due to the fact i will occasionally be in swells and chop. I have a 76 inch shaft.
