MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - 105lbs-72"-36V — Product description
Unlock Effortless Control on the Water
Imagine gliding silently across a glassy lake at dawn, positioning your boat exactly where the big bass are hiding, without ever touching the motor. The MotorGuide Xi5 makes this a reality for serious freshwater anglers. This bow-mount powerhouse combines wireless freedom, pinpoint navigation, and raw 105-pound thrust to transform your fishing trips. Whether you're battling wind-swept currents or staking out a prime spot near submerged structure, its responsive electric steering and intuitive controls keep you focused on the fish, not the fight.
What sets it apart? A composite shaft that flexes around rocks and logs without snapping, digital power management that stretches battery life during marathon sessions, and built-in sonar for real-time depth and fish readings. Anglers rave about its whisper-quiet operation, which won't spook skittish walleye or crappie. Engineered for daily reliability, it handles the rigors of tournament fishing or family outings with equal finesse.
Wireless Freedom: Steer from Anywhere
Leave the cords behind. The included wireless foot pedal and handheld remote let you command speed and direction from the bow, stern, or anywhere in between. The heel-toe pedal delivers pro-level precision—50% quicker steering response than many rivals—while variable speed control ensures smooth, incremental power for finesse trolling. LED status lights on the head glow in low light, showing battery levels, motor status, and more at a glance, so you're never guessing mid-cast.
Pro tip: Pair the wireless setup with your boat's layout for optimal casting lanes. Mount the receiver high to minimize interference, and you'll enjoy seamless operation even on larger bass boats.
Pinpoint GPS: Navigate Like a Pro
Built-in Pinpoint GPS elevates your game with advanced autopilot features. Hold anchor three times more precisely than basic systems, even in choppy water. Jog to exact waypoints for repeat casts at honey holes, lock your heading against wind drift, or set cruise control for consistent trolling speeds. It's like having a virtual spot-on-the-water button.
For tech-savvy anglers, NMEA 2000 compatibility integrates with select chartplotters, syncing motor data to your dashboard for total command. Use it to backtrack to that explosive school or maintain position over structure without constant adjustments.
Integrated Sonar for Smarter Fishing
Dual-frequency 83/200 kHz 2D sonar is wired right in, delivering clear water column views without extra transducers cluttering your hull. Spot suspended fish, track bait schools, and map bottom contours—all feeding directly to your fishfinder. This setup shines for vertical jigging or chasing schooling stripers, giving you the edge before the bite slows.
Engineered for Endurance and Ease
The 72-inch shaft reaches deep water while the low-profile aluminum mount stows compactly, with stainless steel hardware resisting corrosion in humid environments. Digital electronics run cooler and more efficiently, capturing wasted energy for up to five times longer runtime on a single charge. Stall protection safeguards the lower unit if weeds foul the prop, and the rigid shaft support ensures years of abuse-free performance.
- Thrust: 105 lbs – Plenty for 18-22 ft boats in current.
- Voltage: 36V system with 41A draw for balanced power.
- Shaft: Flexible composite, lifetime-backed.
- Mount: Quick-deploy bow design with safety lock.
Maintenance is straightforward: Rinse with freshwater after brackish trips (even though optimized for lakes and rivers), inspect props for nicks, and store vertically to prolong shaft life. Most users report trouble-free seasons with basic care.

Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - 105lbs-72"-36V
The Xi5 is designed to exceed the expectations of today's discriminating customer. It's engineered to be reliable every day - and durable over the long haul. Unlike the competition the Xi5 includes wireless capability "right out of the box", anglers can command precise motor and steering control from anywhere on the boat. A wireless foot pedal is standard with freshwater models. Plus, we've made it stealthy quiet and silky smooth. And you'll also see thoughtful details that make it safe and easy to use.
Key Advantages
Status Indicators at a Glance
The Xi5 uses LED lights in the controller so anglers can quickly check the status of four key functions in any light conditions. The battery power indicator uses different colored lights to show three levels of battery life in real time.
Wireless Pedal for Precise Control
Our wireless pedal provides outstanding motor control from anywhere on the boat. The intuitive, pro-style "heel-toe" operation controls steering that's extremely quiet, precise and 50% faster than the competition. Digital variable speed control enables exceptional low-speed trolling capability and longer run time.
Next-Gen Digital Technology
Our wireless pedal provides outstanding motor control from anywhere on the boat. Our new Digital technology features durable cooler-running power electronics that are 50% more efficient. They also capture and store energy that is typically lost as heat. This improved efficiency means longer run time and fewer battery charges. Digital speed control delivers power, smoothly and incrementally, at the precise level needed by the operator.
Low-Profile Mount
An improved low-profile mount is all about form and function. The base uses anodized aluminum to prevent corrosion. The hardware components are stainless steel throughout, including the linkage that's built to be extra tough. The unique stow and deploy mechanism aligns and guides the motor into the stowed position and secures it in place. For added safety, a secondary lock prevents unintentional deployment and potential damage.
Features
Sophisticated Steering Transmission - From its ball bearings that reduce friction and wear, to custom seals that keep water and dust out, to an extra-rigid shaft support tube - the Xi5 steering transmission delivers dependable, quiet, precise performance.
Fully-Protected Electronics - The high-efficiency electronics are fully encapsulated in a high-tech coating, making them impervious to water and dust. There's also a protection circuit that prevents lower unit damage if the prop is stalled.
Composite Shaft - The composite shaft can take on any and all obstructions that get in its way. It'll bend, but won't break. That's why it's backed with a lifetime warranty.
