MotorGuide Sonar Adapter Cable Lowrance 6 Pin
MotorGuide Sonar Adapter Cable Lowrance 6 Pin Product Description
Enhance your fishing setup by seamlessly integrating your Lowrance sonar unit with your MotorGuide trolling motor using the dedicated Sonar Adapter Cable. This essential accessory bridges the gap between compatible sonar transducers and MotorGuide models like the Xi5 and Xi3, delivering reliable performance on the water without the hassle of signal interference or loose connections.
Why This Adapter Cable Stands Out for Anglers
Anglers know that clear sonar readings can make or break a day on the lake. This cable ensures crisp, interference-free signals at 83/200 kHz frequencies, perfect for traditional 2D sonar views that help you spot structure, baitfish, and trophy catches. Unlike makeshift solutions, it's engineered specifically for MotorGuide's ecosystem, featuring robust plugs that withstand the rigors of repeated launches and rough waters.
- Clean Signal Transmission: Minimizes noise for sharper fish arches and bottom details.
- Secure Connections: Vexilar 3-pin and MotorGuide 7-pin ends lock in place, reducing dropouts during critical moments.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works with a wide array of Lowrance and Eagle sonar units, expanding your electronics options.
Perfect Fit for Your Trolling Motor Setup
Designed exclusively for Xi5, Xi3, and select older MotorGuide models equipped with the standard Lowrance 7-pin blue or gray connector. It's a straightforward upgrade for boats already running these reliable bow-mount motors, letting you mount your sonar transducer right on the motor for optimal down-facing coverage. Note that it's not suited for Tour or Tour Pro HD+ enabled motors—always double-check your model's specs before installing.
Extensive Sonar Model Compatibility
This adapter supports an impressive lineup of proven sonar units, ensuring you're covered whether you're running classic Lowrance displays or Eagle equivalents. Key compatible series include:
- Lowrance Models: LCF-1440, LST-3800, M52i S/GPS, M56, M68C, M-68I s/Map, X-22A, X-25A, X-25B, X-37TX, X-45, X-47/EX/TX, X-50DS, X-67C, X-86DS, X-96.

Pro Tip: Some models marked with an asterisk (*) skip temperature sensor functionality—plan your setup accordingly for water temp readings.
Simple Installation for Quick Setup
Getting your sonar online takes minutes: Disconnect your existing transducer cable, plug the 6-pin Lowrance end into your unit, and connect the MotorGuide 7-pin to your trolling motor's sonar port. Route the cable neatly along the shaft to avoid snags, secure with zip ties if needed, and power up. Test in shallow water to confirm signal strength before heading to deeper spots. This plug-and-play design saves time, letting you focus on fishing rather than wiring woes.
Real-World Benefits for Serious Fishermen
Imagine trolling a weed edge on a walleye bite, with your Xi5 holding pinpoint GPS waypoints while sonar paints a live picture of suspended fish below. This adapter eliminates guesswork, boosting your catch rates by keeping electronics in sync. It's a favorite among bass tournament pros and ice anglers alike, thanks to its durability in freshwater and light saltwater exposure. Pair it with your go-to Lowrance head unit for a cohesive system that performs season after season.
