I would call their support number. They've been really helpful when I've called them. It may take calling a few times and talking to a few different people but it's worth a try if you haven't already.
Anyone got a fix for the xi5 showing interfence on the screen of lowrance hds 8 gen 2 and hds 7 gen 3 sonar and structurescan. I am using built in transducer 9n the xi5. Only show when the prop is turning on xi5. Xi5 ramps up to full power while in cruise control also. It is still under warranty. Any ideas ?

Read the RF Interference (sticky) at the top of the page pretty much covers everything. The ix5 ramping up to full power on cruise is a common problem (Google search) mine did it too, sent it in under warrenty they installed new GPS components, it still does it, I don't think they have a fix for it.
Mine would speed up in cruise control too. After several calls to Motorguide, the guy told me to clear my settings in my Lowrance and just like that, works like a champ.
You can do it sitting in your driveway too. That's how I tested mine. Not sure if you can lower your unit while on the trailer.
Mine was doing some squirrely stuff this past Friday. Not sure if it's because I was running it pretty hard or what.
This is my screen while trolling motor is running
