Anyone have experience with this trolling motor? My old Xi5 feels like it’s about to bite it, so I think I’ll be in the market soon.

I could save a few bucks by going without the auto deploy. Seems very convenient but not sure if it’s worth it.

Going on a 22’ deep v CC

Thanks!

The rich guides all have them and I would’ve heard if there were any complaints. Big Lake was one of MK’s testing grounds.
They were breaking shafts but those were the 110” models, would buy if I were rich.

Incredible motors. Two of my guys run them very hard in Venice. Been nails thrust and longevity w both LA and Lithium way better than others.

I have had mine about a year and a half now. I did a little research and talked to some folks before hand. Pulled the trigger on one of the new auto deploy models. It’s has been absolutely flawless so far. Guys I talked to said Minn Kota really put in a lot of time and effort into testing the new models with some local guides before rolling them out for sale to the public.

Also, it’s probably double the weight of the previous generation models.

I have a quest Terrova. It has been awesome so far. The mount is huge and everything extremely solid. The newly designed depth collar is way easier to use than the old one.

About to order my new boat this fall and I will be ordering one on it. I have the Ulterra now and its around 3 years old and has been great on my boat. Moving to the Instinct and have heard good things about it
