2 years and a day, motorguide Xi5 gps cut out. Thankfully had a bass pro extended warranty. Great motor otherwise. Then I went back to Minn Kota. Had the same thing happen, had to buy a replacement GPS head unit. I’ve also now rebuilt that minnkota, and was told hopefully the motherboard doesn’t crap out on me as they’ve been discontinued for that generation. They all have flaws, and the only people that don’t have issues are the ones that only use them a few times a year. It’s nice to have variety on the market that doesn’t cost $5k for a motor.

Nah… not my scene man.

Hi all, Managed to go for a short shore session up the road, intention was walleye but I usually bring a heavy rod to clear the pike out of the area as there are always one or two sitting by the ledge waiting to ambush your catch as you reel in. Had about 5 dink walleye in 2 hours but at least got a bit of action with a couple decent pike.

Very nice fish ! However, those vertical holds aren't the best to ensure a healthy release. That's a lot of unsupported weight pulling down on the spine.
