Hi Aliex, I have an unlimited with xi3. My decision to get that set up was largely influenced by your videos from years ago. I’ve been running the xi3 for over 2 years now and love it. Every issue your taking about it really inexperience with the motor. When you stow the xi3, you need to put it in manual, turn the speed down to 0 and the prop to off. This will prevent what happened to you today because even if you accidentally hit one button, it will not rotate the prop. The second issue people complain about is the pinpoint GPS, you cannot activate “spot lock” while moving or it will throw your ass out the boat as many people have found out. Almost all issues with the xi3 are user error/inexperience. Also, for the remote I use a rogue tether to my life jacket with caribeaner, on the outside of my vest. This is essential, I have had one remote this entire time. Thx for the videos on the U10, seems like I’ll stick with the unlimited.

We can't blame the user for these problems, this motors is sold to people who have little experiences with it. The Minnkotas for example have a remote with a screen you can see whats the status of the motor, you can also adjust several settings. It also has an app, which is perfect if your remote runs out of batter or you forget it (have saved me before) the mk motor i had was trashy too, very slow, in terms of speed I would take the xi3 anyday, but overal i can't. The xi3 will not get better if we just say how wonderful it is.

100% agree with you. Can’t hate a product just cause you’re not sure how to use it. Almost no one is going fast to spotlock. Id love a video of Alex diving deeper into his Xi3 trying to resolve his issues otherwise I’m convinced he’s just trying to ween his audience off of Xi3 to get $$$ from his autoboat affiliation.

@@AliexFolgueiraagree with Aliex. Motor shouldnt praised about. There is always room for improvements. Speed, grass cutting, safer slower ramp for spotlock activation.

You call the Xi3 POS because you accidentally turned it on while picking it up? This is what I meant a few comments ago (if you recall). You can wait to plug it in once you’re in the water OR change the position of your remote when picking it up. I will agree that it is aggressive when spot locking but that’s where you gotta know your equipment. 2 years with mine and haven’t fall off or had any issues. It needs gps recalibration from time to time and there are reasons for interference. Have you recalibrated properly or asked for advice on how to get it to work properly? Maybe defect? That’s what I’m genuinely curious about
@AliexFolgueira6 ай бұрын
I called it pos because it is The remote breaks often, it is awful, doesn't have a screen The motor has no app I has gone crazy so many time Sometimes it works or doesn't I can go on and on but I ask why do you have to make so many changes to it and learn how to drive basically so it works well???? I don't get this. When you buy an iPhone you don't go in and adjust the network so you get the call, a car you don't tweak 10 settings so it doesn't go crazy when you press the breaks, it is a bad product and of course it turns on while stowed away lol imagine if you are driving a trailer, it can burn the motor and you won't even realized it was on. Bad product.

El Nucanoe unlimited 10 puede tomar el TORQEEDO de 3hp, 3hp eléctrico es comparable a 2.5 gas. Me opinion, yo no necesito el Drive so yo comprara el U10, para que pagar más?

Aliex, love these type of vids that you do! It's a newer boat, with the NK Pro, and XI3. You're going a mile or two out, seeing how the boat behaves. You're not in a garage, telling us this setup works great. I just watched a vid yesterday. Someone buys a new kayak, loads it all up. Batteries, crate, rods, FF, with a trailer. Then says, it's a great boat and very' stable. But he hasn't taken it out yet!! What?? 😂 🛶 🎣

was it setup properly? I know it takes a bit of set up, the xi3 isnt better bro, I would recommend getting a second remote just in case, beware of the motor issues, when pressing anchor mode it goes crazy, it can turn on by lighly pressing something on the remote without knowing. That motor would be great if it they would simply make an app for it, for real, or a remote with a screen and allow you to adjust the settings.

Thats way to much for a kayak or that kayak. Why would you have a motor in the back and have a trolling motor in the front? Get a skiff if you want all that.
@AliexFolgueira6 ай бұрын
Why get a skiff to do what a kayak can? For example the skiff will required at least a 6hp gas, more money, more weight and did what exactly? I have a little boat I wanna take out more often but it is hard, especially with the marina fees over here
@sethscott42116 ай бұрын
@AliexFolgueira when putting on what you did, you essentially created one and don't need to get a gas one but something that is made for that. Your gonna have the issues you did with a 10' kayak. Maybe even a 12'. But your going away from having a kayak and trying to turn a potato into a apple in words. What you would spend on all of that plus the kayak you could just get a used boat.
