MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - 80lbs-60"-24V

Imagine gliding silently across calm freshwater lakes, pinpointing your perfect fishing spot without ever leaving the helm. The MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor transforms chaotic outings into precise, effortless adventures. With its electric steering that's whisper-quiet and responds faster than most, you'll maintain control even when fish strike unexpectedly. This 80-pound thrust powerhouse, paired with a 60-inch shaft and 24-volt system, handles deep-V boats with ease, delivering variable speed forward for those delicate presentations that hook trophy bass.

Effortless Wireless Command from Anywhere

Freedom defines the Xi5 experience. The included wireless foot pedal and handheld remote let you steer and adjust speeds from the bow, stern, or anywhere in between—no tangled cables or fixed stations. Anglers rave about the heel-toe pedal's intuitive feel, offering 50% quicker steering rotation for tight maneuvers around structure. Whether trolling crankbaits along weed edges or holding position over a school, this setup keeps you focused on the bite, not the motor.

Pinpoint GPS: Your On-Water Autopilot

Elevate your game with built-in Pinpoint GPS functionality. Anchor precisely three times more accurately than basic systems, locking your boat steady against wind and current—no drifting during those long fights. Jog mode nudges you back to hotspots effortlessly, while heading lock and cruise control maintain course at consistent speeds. Integrate seamlessly with compatible Lowrance, Simrad, or Mercury VesselView displays via NMEA 2000 for a dashboard command center that feels like futuristic fishing tech.

Unbreakable Durability for Rough Waters

Built for the abuse of real-world fishing, the Xi5's composite shaft flexes around rocks, logs, and stumps without snapping—backed by a lifetime warranty that speaks volumes. The low-profile bow mount deploys and stows smoothly with stainless steel hardware and a secondary safety lock, resisting corrosion in freshwater environments. Fully encapsulated electronics shrug off splashes, dust, and stalls, while digital power management stretches battery life up to five times longer through efficient energy capture.

Integrated Sonar for Deeper Insights

Never guess at what's below— the Xi5's 2D sonar delivers real-time readings on structure, baitfish, and gamefish. Pair it with your fishfinder for a complete underwater picture, spotting suspended walleye or schooling crappie from afar. This freshwater-specific setup shines in lakes and rivers, helping you dial in depths and patterns that turn good days into limits.

Power and Performance Tailored for Success

• Thrust and Efficiency: 80 pounds of max thrust at 56 amps on 24 volts powers through wind and current without bogging down.
• Shaft and Mount: 60-inch composite shaft ideal for bigger freshwater vessels; bow mount hugs the hull for minimal drag.
• Steering and Speed: Electric steer with variable forward speeds for finesse trolling or aggressive repositioning.
• Monitoring: LED dashboard glows with battery status, power levels, and system alerts—visible day or night.

Every detail, from the sophisticated steering transmission with ball bearings to sealed corrosion protection, ensures reliability season after season.

Smart Installation and Everyday Maintenance

Setting up the Xi5 is straightforward for most boaters: secure the anodized aluminum base to your bow platform, route the 24-volt wiring cleanly, and pair the wireless components in minutes. The stow/deploy mechanism guides everything into place securely. For longevity, rinse after salty excursions (though optimized for freshwater), check shaft flex annually, and store upright. Digital tech minimizes heat buildup, reducing wear and keeping runs longer on a single charge.

Real Angler Advantages

Fishermen choose the Xi5 for its blend of stealth, smarts, and stamina. Quiet operation spooks fewer fish, precise GPS saves time scouting, and robust build withstands tournament grind. It's not just a motor—it's a tactical edge that lets you fish smarter, not harder, chasing bass, pike, or panfish across your favorite waters.
