Effortless Control Meets Unmatched Stealth

Kayak fishing demands precision without the fuss. The Xi3-70FW shines with digital power management that optimizes battery life and maintains consistent speed, no matter the conditions. Anglers report sustaining speeds across wind-swept lakes or slow-trolling for crappie, all while sipping power efficiently.

Stealth is key in shallow waters. Clocking in 40% quieter than rivals, this motor lets you approach structure undetected. Pair it with the optional wireless foot pedal for hands-free navigation—perfect when you're wrestling a hookset or adjusting your bait.

SecureStep: Game-Changer for On-Water Mobility

Stowing a trolling motor on a kayak shouldn't feel like a workout. The SecureStep system slashes deployment effort by 50%, using a pivoting design that locks securely and releases smoothly. Launch from a dock or beach? No problem. Bounce between honey holes? You'll save energy for casting, not cranking.

• Lightweight Build: Weighs less than many competitors, preserving your kayak's agility.
• Floating Shaft: Adapts to waves and currents, reducing vibration for a smoother ride.
• Remanufactured Reliability: Restored to factory specs with premium components, offering like-new performance at a fraction of new-motor hassle.

Smart Integration for Modern Anglers

Stay connected without clutter. NMEA 2000 compatibility links seamlessly with chartplotters, sharing GPS data, speed, and heading for pinpoint navigation. Wireless controls mean your pedal or remote stays tangle-free, giving you full command from anywhere on the kayak.

Real-world tip: Mount it bow-forward for optimal thrust vectoring, enhancing tracking in crosswinds—a boon for fly fishing or finesse tactics.

Built Tough for Everyday Adventures

Remanufacturing breathes new life into battle-tested tech. Corrosion-resistant materials handle brackish bays or muddy rivers, while sealed electronics shrug off splashes. Kayakers praise its durability through seasons of heavy use, from summer stripers to winter walleye.

Pro maintenance hack: Rinse with fresh water post-trip, inspect shaft bushings seasonally, and store vertically to extend life. Pair with quality 24V deep-cycle batteries for peak runtime—up to 8-10 hours at cruising speeds.
