$5k starting for a TM that has, at best if you believe all of their claims, marginal improvements over other motors. Maybe it is just me, but after watching the video I don’t see anything truly new or very innovative. Maybe the titanium shaft, but honestly breaking shafts on other motors doesn’t seem to be happening all that often.
Buttons on the deck? That's a huge no for me.

Does it really only weigh 46lbs? My Ultrex 112 weighs 89lbs. 40lbs off the bow will definitely change how the boat rides.
Move ZR 45" is 53lbs according to PP website. This amount of weight taken off the bow should be HUGE for bow lift and performance!

5+K for a trolling motor. That's pretty steep. And you have to mount the buttons to your deck. So they put the heading sensor inside, but took the buttons out. I've had a Ultrex early on and now have a Ghost, I don't see anything there that says I have to have it. I'll stick with my Ghost. Plus lets see how it goes with these early on. The Charge stumbled hard out the gate.
About time someone did a real feel wireless pedal. That is a game changer but 5K???
Are the LEDs dimmable??
dont believe they are but something I could find out. There is alot more to this trolling motor the inital info release didnt get in depth with everything , but they will in the coming weeks as more and more is released. I guarantee you Bloodman if you used it you still may not want to pay the price but guarantee you would be able to see the reason for the price point.
Mount and frame remind me of the old Motorguide. Not very sturdy that is why it is so light compared to others like the Ultrex. I'll pass!

The big question is will it be an option with boat OEM's, that is where I see the rubber meet the road.
I agree on the mount. Not a single detail on its design and robustness. Would hate to spend $5000 on a motor and the mount gets noisy after a year.
I get that but what I need the most is the "real feel" wireless foot pedal. That alone is the biggest deal and is why I use the Xi5 with all it little problems. Make the pedal work and feel like it should, and you just plugged the fisherman in to total control.
The dimmable LEDs would tell me the designers know how to fish and know what we want. Fishing in total darkness with LED blasting you in the face is no fun. Using black tape to cover LEDs on a 5k motor would be stupid. If they are not dimmable with an off feature, call and tell them.
Does it have a lighted directional arrow? Kind of need this for night fishing... and is helpful for the most relevant game changing technique on the planet FFS!
Kevin,
Will you be able mount any transducer on this trolling motor.
What about mounting mega 360 or target lock
