Completely understand. This is why most guys that fish as you are intending to do quickly realize that a cable driven system is much better for their intended purpose.
I know many guys on the walleye tour that change their trolling motor out from jigging to trolling simply because the wireless trolling motors do not offer a quick enough response time and movements when utilizing the foot pedal. This is partly the reason why MinnKota came out with their new trolling motor that features cable driven steering with I-Pilot features.
I know quite a few guys with the XI5 but not one of them utilize the foot pedal so I cannot tell you if what you are experiencing is normal or a glitch that can be worked out.
