Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Just reading this for the first time....if getting a Xi5, and you plan on fishing alot...you will need to make a trip to Menards or some other hardware store. I ran my Xi5 last year and had two foot pedals, I broke the tension springs in both foot pedals after about 40 days of use on them. Not easily replaced..but the heavy duty springs you buy at Menards are like 80 cents a piece. I broke all 4 springs last year and once I put the springs in, it worked great. I loved the motor....the foot pedal...not so much. The anchor button is in the wrong spot and every day I would accidentally hit it with my foot as it slip off the pedal. It's a great motor. Strong, quiet, turn speed is awesome....just with a little bit more thought and quality would have been put into the foot pedal. |
