Currently using a 45" Minn Kota 24V 65 Edge, looking to change over to a Motor Guide Xi5 24V 80 to use with my Elite Ti 9.
Should I stay with a 45" shaft, or go longer to 54" or 60" on a Xpress H51?
Also, how important is it to have the key pad to wear around neck, since I'm going to connect Xi5 to an Elite?
Thanks!
