Trolling Motor

I'm looking at upgrading my bow mount trolling motor and have narrowed it down to two units, the Minn Kota Terrova 24v 80# w ipilot and the Motorguide Xi5 80# w pinpoint gps. Do you guys have a preference between the two?

I have the Xi5 80 lb. thrust and love it. It has been very reliable and adaptable to all bodies of water I've fished. Very well constructed and durable. The GPS is spot on. I love being able to program drifts and specific waypoints as well. It's also great on batteries. I've never had an issue with battery life. Remote and wireless foot control are great. Awesome fit for my needs.

I have an xi5, linked to my lowrance hds gen 3. It is awesome, touch screen everything! You can make and follow routes and way points, it will do all sorts of trolling patterns pretty cool! Watch some YouTube videos of the stuff it can do

Just a heads up. The Motor guide xi5 links to lowrance hds gen 2 and 3 units, and if i remember correctly the minn Kota i pilot links to hummingbird, that might help determine which unit you get.

Thanks for all the input guys. I was leaning towards a Terrova but I'm going to take a better look at the Xi5.
