Friend bought one with pinpoint. If you heel down on petal it hesitates then turns 180 degrees then you have to toe down and bring back to the direction you wanted to go. And you can't keep your eyes off the position arrow because it doesn't have a full range of motion. I've got a 20 plus year old motor guide pinpoint trolling motor that is wire control not cable and its works just like a cable stear. I wish motor guide would have used one like on the xi5. Do you like your foot control?
