  1. Hands down the xi5, has a few quirks but overall imo a much better motor. I run a 36v system on my 18'. Overkill but it lasts for ever, not that id ever use it at this speed, but it topped out at 4mph. If your partial to humminbird and want the link features, then terrova. Its still a good motor, just a tad slower abd nosier. But the build quality is slightly better. Also no track record on durability of the xi5

  2. Looking at having one made in hopes that it lasts longer than my Lund cockpit covers that has started to tear everywhere and thin after 4 years. Any recommendations on a shop or fabric i should consider? I keep the boat outside when in season, and from dec-apr its stored indoors. So it does see sun and the elements for half a year.

  3. I wouldnt even go as far as saying extreme conditions, both my consoles on my newer lund cracked and were replaced under warranty, one was untouched, the other cracked far away from the mount. Could have been the cold, but for safe measures id highly recommend some sort of backing that doesnt rot. Quality on most boats just isnt there anymore.

  4. I have a similar issue, one battery out of my 3 is always charging, had the charger replaced under warranty (not because of the issue, one of my leads melted) , same issue, so its obviously the battery. Doesnt make much sense though because after 6-8 hours of charging, if i take a volt meter, the one battery shows 12.69v (tested it 24 hours after), its only 2 years old.
