MotorGuide Xi3-70FW 60" 24V SNR GPS FOB Bow Mount *Remanufactured

Discover the Ultimate Kayak Trolling Motor Experience

Imagine gliding silently across calm waters, pinpointing your perfect fishing spot without disturbing a ripple. The Xi3-70FW bow mount trolling motor transforms kayak fishing by combining compact power with effortless handling. Its 60-inch shaft fits seamlessly on smaller crafts, while the innovative design lets you deploy and stow from a seated position—ideal for solo anglers navigating tight spaces.

Engineered for freshwater adventures, this motor delivers 70 pounds of thrust on 24V power, ensuring reliable performance during long days on the water. Remanufactured to meet original standards, it offers like-new reliability with a focus on sustainability, giving you pro-level features without compromise.

Key Features That Set It Apart

• Digital Power Management: Intelligently optimizes battery life, providing consistent torque from launch to sunset, even under heavy loads like trolling multiple lines.
• SecureStep System: Reduces stowing effort by half compared to traditional motors. The angled step design lets you lift and secure with minimal strain, perfect for quick repositioning in dynamic kayak maneuvers.
• Ultra-Qui spinedt Operation: 40% quieter than rivals, thanks to advanced noise-reduction tech. Fish stay undisturbed, increasing your hook-up rates in shallow bays or weed beds.
• GPS Anchor and Spot-Lock: Holds your position automatically against wind or current—essential for kayak anglers marking structure without drifting. Pair it with compatible apps for route recording and return-to-spot precision.
• Wireless Foot Pedal Option: Hands-free control via intuitive pedal or handheld remote. Responsive joystick steering mimics high-end gaming for pinpoint boat control.
• NMEA 2000 Chartplotter Integration: Syncs seamlessly with your fishfinder or plotter, overlaying motor data for a unified dashboard experience.

Why Kayak Anglers Swear By the Xi3-70FW

Lightweight at under 50 pounds, this motor won't bog down your kayak's agility. The floating bow mount adapts to waves and splashes, keeping the prop submerged for uninterrupted thrust. Anglers report deploying in seconds during active bites, stowing just as fast to paddle into new hotspots.

In real-world tests, its stealthy run lets you approach spooky bass or walleye undetected. The GPS FOB (Foot Operated Bowmount) setup shines in solo missions, freeing your hands for rod work while maintaining exact positioning over reefs or drop-offs.

For maintenance, a quick freshwater rinse after salty exposure (though optimized for fresh) and annual prop inspection keep it humming. Pair with lithium batteries for extended range, turning day trips into multi-hour marathons.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Performance

Position the mount forward for optimal bow trim, enhancing kayak stability. Use the wireless remote for finesse trolling along shorelines, and engage Spot-Lock to hover over schools without anchoring. Customize speed settings via the pedal for mimicking natural bait drift, fooling wary fish.

Remanufactured units undergo rigorous testing, often outperforming expectations with upgraded components. Kayak modifiers love its modularity—add extensions or brackets for custom setups on fishing-specific hulls.
