    First thought after reading this post was …. this is impressive. Motorguide actually asking a consumer their input on what they would change about a particular product. I've got an older MG on my boat now and it's time to upgrade. A+ MOTORGUIDE !

    Motorguide. I have a Xi5. Two thing I would love to see. Foot pedal react like the cabled so I can tell which way the motor is turned without looking at it. Heel down Left....Tow down right. Also, make it somehow capable of running a transducer cable down it without the worry of it breaking it by twisting.

    As for the motor, in cruise control it sometimes ramps up to 100%. Almost knocked me in the water a couple of times and have ended up in the rocks with it doing that. It's been doing this since I owned the motor for over 2 years. MG sent me a dongal (sp??) and I downloaded it but it still happens.

    Upgrading the foot pedal is on our radar. We haven't heard of the cruise control issue you are experiencing but will certainly look into it. The dongle would have been for a software patch most likely. Our partners at Mercury have a dedicated MotorGuide team that handle our Customer Service calls and they would be best to start with. Thanks for being a MotorGuide user!

    ^^^^. Really outside of this, very little matters at the moment. At least in the Bass fishing world. Until this happens everything else is a mute point. Motorguide been around a long time and they obviously know the Ultrex has taken the bass fishing world by storm. They have to be working on something. I know myself and thousands of other current motorguide users, wouldn’t even consider another with the current options that are offered to us. Nothing compares to the Ultrex for the bass fishing world.

    Competition is good for the customer though, and I fully expect Motorguide to make something comparable or even better to the Ultrex very soon.

    It's the responsiveness to input, I feel very connected to my foot position and where the boat is going. I can stomp on it, fishing fast through cover or docks. it reacts very well. I spend equal time on another brand and feel disconnected, not as responsive. I had a Merc Thruster before, went to OMC, saw the Tour had the the Truster pedal I put one on.....now bait will keep till I can't repair. No Plastic please.........I even like the metal head......it will get hit docking, trees.. plastic is a accident ready to happen.
