For all you XI-5 guys don�t forget to change out your batteries in your remote lest you get to lake and trolling motor don�t come on. 2 triple a batteries and a very small Phillips screw driver. Ask me how I know this.

I knew mine were going bad when it started acting goofy. TM would speed up and slow down on its own. I just keep spares in the boat now.

Purdy sure my foot control runs on double A. Just replaced them this evening for a weekend of fishing. And keep some extras in my tool box. Wasn't sure what was in the remote, now I will get some. Thank you for the reminder...

I keep plenty of spares for my MinnKota remote. I've had to replace it mid trip on more than one occasion.

Columbus took a chance and he made it.

Make sure you keep your remote somewhere where the buttons won�t be pushed down too. Mine died quick from putting it in the console of my truck where it got pushed up against something.

>E Well, if my foot control battery dies after my remote battery dies...guess I am back to Big motor and anchor... In the mean time, guess I better get on of those spare batteries...

I have to admit I think it was a boneheaded move of MotorGuide to have different sized batteries in the handheld and foot control.
