Has any one heard when the module will be out for the X5 to use with Lowrance ? Thinking of selling my new Fortrex and making the switch. Just like to hear from anyone who owns one how they like its performance. Thanks.

Ive ran one and they are sweet. Turn very fast which can be a pain in the nice try but otherwise very good motors!

I absolutely LOVE mine. I spent a week on LOW out from Sioux Narrows and it performed great. The guy in my boat has a Terrova with iPilot and he couldnt believe how smooth and quiet it was. He was very impressed.
I recorded a few tracks and played them back and it worked decent. I think it was having some issues with all the giant rock outcroppings or perhaps my HDS unit mounted right there was causing some issues so I will have to do some additional testing. A few times (probably twice) it would hunt back and forth when in the heading lock mode. I think it was getting confused, or perhaps it was the wave action swaying the boat, not sure. I had similar things happen with my old Minn Kota so I wasnt too surprised it happened.
Overall very very impressed.
