    Thanks Johnny. The HDS is reportedly a sweet setup with touch and all.

    Also , mine was damaged in delivery in my opinion so I opted for extended warranty. Paid off with a repair

    I need to check my credit cards. Sometimes they match manufacturers or give extended warranty when you use it for the purchase.

    I have used both, the Xi5 with Hds Gen3 on our old 198 Ranger tin boat and Ultrex ilink with Solix on our new glass boat. To me the Xi5 worked far better on spot lock and jog. Name:  truman.jpg

    Only issue I've had with mine is it getting confused (loses GPS signal) and starts doing 360s wrapping transducer cable around shaft. I contacted Motoguide/Mercury and was sent an update dongle which fixed the issue.

    Edit: I installed this great transducer mount before update: Fishing Specialties Inc | Fishing Specialties Inc
    Great mount. Allows me to use bow mounted HDI ducer without trolling motor deployed

    Got my xi5 Motorguide back Monday they said the panel board went bad. Hope this fixes it finally. But I will take my old trolling with me when I go for a backup!!

    I got my xi5 motorguide back Monday. The Gps would not work this time.... Just Great!!! Called Motorguide on Thursday. They said I needed the updated version on the Gps. They said that they would send it right away. Five days passed by and nothing arrived so I called 4 times to find out they had never sent it. They said they would ship it overnight. We'll see if it arrives tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath. What a company!!!

    Hope the firmware update cures your problem. They sent me a dongle with update which seems to have cured my issue of GPS getting confused and motor starts doing 360s. Was a major PITA when transducer was installed on trolling motor.
