I bought mine used with a year of warranty left. I have had the motherboard replaced twice, Pinpoint GPS replaced once and both GPS modules replaced twice. I just had the mother board replaced for the second time and when I got to the lake I no longer have a GPS signal. Motorguide's customer service has been nothing short of amazing. My motor has been out of warranty for a year and they still sent me the mother board for free and I just had to pay labor. The motor is great when it works, but I have had really bad luck with mine. I wish MG would come out with a new model because I got a bad Xi5 and I'm sick of it being in the shop all the time.

You guys sure cost me a bunch of money today ... New XI5 with the bells and whistles mounted on Double Time. Thank you for the responses and the help, I appreciate it. Goin in the AM to try her out, a little windy right now. Just a heads up, anyone in the Concho Valley needing anything for your boat, give Proline Trolling Motors a shot. I'm glad I did...
