MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - 105lb-54"-36V Product Description

Unlock Effortless Control on the Water

Imagine gliding silently across a misty lake at dawn, your trolling motor responding instantly to the lightest touch on the pedal—no cables cluttering the deck, no wrestling with foot switches. The MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor redefines bow-mount performance for freshwater anglers who demand reliability without the hassle. With its built-in wireless pedal and Pinpoint GPS capabilities, this 105lb thrust powerhouse on a 54-inch shaft lets you focus on the fish, not the fight against gear limitations.

Crafted for deep-V boats, it pairs seamlessly with 36V systems drawing just 41 amps at peak, balancing raw power with extended runtime. Whether you're finesse fishing weedlines or holding position in current, the Xi5's next-gen digital tech and sophisticated steering deliver whisper-quiet operation that won't spook trophy bass.

Why Anglers Choose the Xi5 for Everyday Wins

• Wireless Freedom: Control speed and direction from anywhere on the boat with the included heel-toe pedal. It's 50% more responsive than traditional wired setups, perfect for quick adjustments during active bites.
• Real-Time Status Lights: Bright LEDs glow in green, yellow, or red to show battery life, power status, and more—at a glance, even in low light. No guessing games mid-fight.
• Pinpoint Precision: Integrated GPS anchors you spot-on with Spot-Lock, drift-free holds that rival high-end competitors. Add the gateway for fish finder sync, turning your console into a command center.
• Sonar Integration: Built-in 2D sonar feeds real-time depth and structure data, helping you pinpoint sweet spots without extra transducers.

Anglers report up to 20% longer outings thanks to the efficient digital power management, which recaptures energy that others waste as heat. It's not just a motor; it's a fishing partner built to last seasons, not sessions.

Cutting-Edge Tech That Stands Up to the Elements

Digital Powerhouse Efficiency

The Xi5's cooler-running electronics are 50% more efficient, delivering smooth, incremental thrust exactly when you need it. Variable speed control shines at ultra-low trolls, conserving juice for those marathon days chasing walleye or crappie. Protected by a high-tech encapsulation, these circuits shrug off splashes, dust, and stalls—complete with prop stall protection to safeguard the lower unit.

Steering Transmission Built Like a Tank

Friction-fighting ball bearings, custom seals, and a rigid shaft support tube ensure steering stays pinpoint accurate trip after trip. Paired with electric steering, it pivots faster and quieter, eliminating the clunks and drags of lesser mounts.

Low-Profile Mount Mastery

Anodized aluminum base resists corrosion, while stainless steel hardware laughs at rust. The stow/deploy system guides the motor home effortlessly, locking it secure with a fail-safe secondary latch. No more deck dings or unexpected drops—it's as safe as it is sleek.

Unbreakable Composite Shaft

Hit a stump? The shaft flexes and rebounds, backed by a lifetime warranty. This freshwater workhorse handles abuse that snaps carbon or aluminum rivals.

Proven Performance from Dawn Patrol to Dusk

In real angling scenarios, the Xi5 excels. Tournament pros love the wireless range—up to 18 feet—for bow or stern control without tripping hazards. Families appreciate the easy deploy for quick setups on rental pontoons. In windy conditions, GPS Spot-Lock holds you tighter than a drift sock, letting you work jigs vertically over structure.

Pair it with popular fish finders via the Pinpoint Gateway for contour mapping and route recording. Low-speed precision aids live bait rigs, keeping presentations natural. And that stealthy hum? It keeps line-wary pike from bolting.

Quick Setup Tips for Peak Performance

1. Mount securely to the bow, ensuring 12-14 inches of shaft above waterline for optimal prop bite.
2. Charge batteries fully pre-trip; monitor via LED for 3-level alerts.
3. Calibrate GPS in open water for flawless anchoring.
4. Rinse with freshwater after brackish exposure, even on FW models.
5. Stow promptly to protect the shaft from trailering vibes.

Keep It Running Like New: Simple Care Routine

Longevity starts with basics. Inspect prop for nicks weekly—replace if chipped to avoid vibration. Lubricate pivot points seasonally with marine grease. Store vertically in off-season to prevent shaft bow. Troubleshoot wirelessly: If LEDs flash erratically, check connections or reset via pedal sequence. Most issues? User-fixable in minutes, minimizing downtime.

Compared to wired motors, the Xi5 cuts maintenance by ditching cables that fray and corrode. Anglers switching from competitors rave about the hassle-free ownership.
