So I just bought a new to me 185 vs with 175 HPDI. That part of the rig is fine. On this boat I have three electronic units linked together, console Lowrance HDS 7 Carbon, HDS 9" Gen 3, the bow has a HDS Carbon 7. They are all linked to a 80# Xi5 Motorguide TM. I can't begin to figure out all of the electronics linked together and using that trolling motor is for the birds. I don't like having to step on the release , bend over the boat in choppy water to pull up the TM and the foot control is blue tooth and needs batteries, No thanks !! I'm going to sell the Xi5 and get a 36 v Minkota fortrex used and sell the 9'HDS gen 3 . I just want to fish man and not deal with all that crap.
But I will admit the spot lock is awesome.
