xi5
Anyone know if you can get the 80lb xi5 with 48 inch shaft in Aus?
Anyone got one that's been a nightmare or a blessing? Cheers

Trevor @ Bendigo Marine has some xi5's in stock i believe. Thanks, Paul

i recently changed to a 54" 12v I know its not what you are enquiring about but to say the least I WILL NEVER USE A KOTA AGAIN the thing is amasing anchor lock 1.5 meters from a bridge in a strong tide the thing dosnt move the heading lock is great as well but had to get a software update for the southern hemishpere as it turned 180 deg because of that but the best bit of gear ive used

Good battery usage, quiet and fast and an amazing anchor lock without getting blown off the spot, then having to rabbit back up and spooking fish.

I've only got a 55lb, but 54 inch was the shortest I could get

Mine has been brilliant, I have the 80lb. Only thing is the release mechanism doesn't feel as good as the Kota but the shaft locking mechanism is a lot better. The spotlock is incredible and remote is a lot more responsive and also a better physical size.

So who has the cheapest round the country and how hard is it to add pinpoint after you have brought the unit

pinpoint is easy to put in after the fact that's what I had to do as there where no motorguides avaiable with the pinpoint already installed took about 15- 20 mins beware you will most probably have the get the firmware upgrade to fix the northern Southern Hemisphere heading lock issue but that's no biggie good luck

Called a company today they said it will cost an extra 1k to add the pinpoint after i brought the motor. I have the cash to buy the motor just cant splash the extra for 3-6 months

what motor are you looking at the pin point Nav on its own is 659 and 1224 for x5 12v from chsmith so I don't know where the 1 k for the Nav 659 and 20 mins to install it yourself and your up and running

And that is who told me it would be a extra k.
I saw their prices so called them and was quite shocked when he said that. They dont have stock at the moment either but thats fine i can wait for a little while |
