It sticks out, quite a bit. I it's not an issue tho. You'll like it. I'll try to make a video tomorrow, showing how to remove it and put it on. I'm pretty sure that I can hold my phone in one hand, while using the other to remove the trolling motor.

WOW that right there says a lot, my MK troller takes bout 3 hands to unlock & slide off of base/boat.

Me and the Rhodan are bonding really well. Much better spot lock than the the xi5(when the winds not blowing). Not sure yet, when winds blowing. Both do really well in the wind. Rhodan gear box is much quieter, but I think that the motor is a bit louder, not much tho.

My rhodan has not even shipped!
Enjoy yours!

Be carefull, not to let the locking collar, set bolt get into the gps module, located on the base of the trolling motor. I scuffed mine up before I realized it. (you'll like this trolling motor)

I read that after lifting the motor u need to move the collar down before getting underway. There will a slight learning curve. Glad u like yours. This is an expensive experiment! But if is what I think then it will be worth it.
Happy fishin

The owners manual, says a 50 amp receptacle is required. My boat only has a 30amp receptacle. I called Rhodan, they said that the 30 amp receptacle would be just fine as long g as there's a 50amp breaker. I have the 50 amp breaker, so alls well. (they were very helpful and explained the amp load required told me to call back with any other questions I had.

Yes technically usually a 20 percent safety rating is used. I have a 50 amp breaker on mine also.
