MotorGuide Xi3-55FW 60" 12V FOB Bow Mount *Remanufactured Product Description
Discover Effortless Control on the Water
Imagine gliding silently across the lake in your kayak, positioning perfectly for that trophy catch without spooking fish. The Xi3-55FW bow mount delivers exactly that with its compact 60-inch shaft and lightweight build tailored for smaller vessels. Kayak anglers love how it deploys from a seated position, letting you focus on fishing rather than fiddling with gear. Its digital power management optimizes thrust for longer outings, stretching every amp-hour from your 12V battery.
Whether you're navigating shallow flats or holding steady in current, this motor's responsive handling shines. Anglers report seamless transitions between spots, thanks to intuitive controls that feel like an extension of your paddle.
SecureStep: Stow and Go Without the Struggle
Stowing a trolling motor shouldn't feel like a workout, especially in tight kayak quarters. The innovative SecureStep system reduces effort by half compared to traditional designs, allowing quick lifts and lowers with minimal strain. No more awkward leans or heavy pulls—simply step down to lock it in place and secure your lines for transport. This feature alone saves energy for casting all day.
Real-World Versatility
From dawn patrols on glassy ponds to windy afternoons battling chop, the Xi3 adapts effortlessly. Its bow mount design hugs the hull for stability, minimizing wobble during high-speed runs or precise spot-locking.
Whisper-Quiet Operation for Stealthy Approaches
Fish have sharp senses, and nothing ruins a bite faster than motor noise. Engineered to be 40% quieter than rivals, this unit hums at a level that blends with natural water sounds. Paired with wireless remote functionality, you steer hands-free while keeping eyes on your electronics or the water's surface.
Pro tip: Pair it with low-profile props for even stealthier runs in skinny water, ideal for sight fishing bass or reds.
Seamless Tech Integration
Modern anglers demand connectivity. NMEA 2000 compatibility links the Xi3 to your chartplotter or fishfinder, overlaying motor data like speed and heading right on your screen. Optional wireless foot pedal adds precise control without cables cluttering your deck.
- Digital efficiency squeezes more runtime from standard batteries
- Corrosion-resistant materials for season-after-season reliability
- Compact footprint perfect for kayaks under 14 feet
Tips for Peak Performance
To maximize your Xi3's potential, mount it slightly off-center for better prop clearance in shallows. Regularly rinse the shaft after saltwater exposure—even though it's freshwater optimized—to prevent buildup. Anglers swear by lithium batteries for double the runtime, but deep-cycle lead-acids work fine with smart charging habits.
For spot-on drifting, use intermittent power bursts instead of constant throttle. This conserves juice and mimics natural bait movement, upping your hookups.
