Discover Effortless Control on the Water with the Xi3-55SW
Imagine gliding silently across choppy saltwater bays, positioning your boat precisely over a school of reds without breaking a sweat. The Xi3-55SW bow mount trolling motor turns that vision into reality for serious anglers who demand reliability in harsh marine environments. This 60-inch shaft powerhouse combines intuitive wireless operation with advanced GPS functionality, letting you anchor in place, follow pre-set routes, or hold a steady heading while your hands stay free for casting.
What sets it apart? It's built tough for saltwater abuse, with a composite shaft that laughs off impacts and corrosion. Pair that with whisper-quiet performance, and you'll sneak up on fish without spooking them. No more wrestling with foot pedals or clunky remotes—control it from anywhere on deck with the included handheld unit.
Standout Features That Deliver Real-World Wins
Engineered for anglers who fish hard, this motor packs smart tech into a compact, low-profile mount that hugs your boat's deck.
- Unbreakable Composite Shaft: Flexes under pressure but bounces back, backed by a lifetime warranty—perfect for rocky shorelines or accidental bumps.
- Digital Variable Speed: Smooth, precise power adjustments mean less battery drain and better maneuverability in tight spots like mangroves or oyster bars.
- Handheld Wireless Remote: Roam the boat freely; change direction or speed without returning to the bow.
- 3-Blade Machete Propeller: Cuts through weeds and debris effortlessly, maintaining thrust even in thick grass beds.
- Pinpoint GPS Integration: Drift-free anchoring, route recording for replaying hot spots, and heading lock for fighting current—essential for solo kayak or small skiff fishing.
- Corrosion-Resistant Build: Stainless hardware and sealed components shrug off salt spray, extending motor life in coastal waters.
- SecureStep System: Stows with one easy motion—lift, lock, and go—cutting deployment time in half when birds dive or fish start boiling.
- LED Dashboard: Quick-glance battery status and speed readout keeps you informed without distraction.
Superior Performance Tailored for Saltwater Anglers
In real fishing scenarios, silence and stamina matter most. This 12V motor runs up to 40% quieter than rivals, letting you troll lures undetected over spooky trout or flounder. The 55-pound thrust handles boats up to 2,000 pounds loaded, powering through wind and tide without bogging down.
GPS mode shines during tournaments or multi-hour drifts: set an anchor point over structure and fight fish without drifting off. Record routes from dawn patrols to revisit later, saving time scouting. For everyday use, heading lock keeps you beam-to-current, ideal for live bait presentations.
Built to Last: Durability and Simple Upkeep
Saltwater eats gear alive, but the Xi3-55SW fights back. Rinse it post-trip with fresh water, focusing on the lower unit and prop—takes minutes. Store vertically to avoid shaft stress. Battery tips: Use a deep-cycle marine battery, monitor voltage to prevent undercharging, and you'll get full days on the water.
Low-profile design fits most flats boats, bay vessels, or jon boats. Quick-release mount swaps easily for trailering or storage.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Xi3 Experience
- Pair with a foot pedal for hands-free bow control during casts.
- Calibrate GPS before big trips—locks in your home point accurately.
- Trim up slightly in shallows to protect the prop from sandbars.
- Run mid-speeds for battery efficiency on long drifts.
- Customize remote buttons for your favorite functions, like instant anchor drop.
