MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Saltwater - GPS - 105lbs-60"-36V - *Remanufactured

Discover Unmatched Precision on the Water

Imagine gliding silently across saltwater flats, your boat holding steady over a prime fishing spot without dropping an anchor. The MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor makes this a reality for serious anglers chasing trophy fish in demanding marine environments. Built with saltwater-rated components, this GPS-equipped powerhouse delivers reliable performance that stands up to corrosion, waves, and relentless use. Whether you're sight-fishing for redfish or drifting for snook, its intuitive controls let you focus on the bite, not the boat.

Remanufactured to meet original specs, it combines like-new reliability with the grit-tested design that pros trust. Anglers report running it season after season on everything from bay boats to center consoles, praising its whisper-quiet operation that won't spook wary fish.

Wireless Freedom: Control from Anywhere

Break free from cords and cables. The Xi5's wireless system pairs a handheld remote with optional foot pedal control, giving you fingertip command over speed, direction, and GPS functions from bow to stern. No more stretching to reach a pedestal—steer effortlessly while casting or netting your catch.

LED status lights on the head provide instant feedback: battery levels in color-coded greens, yellows, and reds, plus indicators for power, GPS lock, and motor status. In low light or fog, these keep you informed without guesswork, enhancing safety during early mornings or late evenings on the water.

GPS Spot-Lock: Your Virtual Anchor

Anchor in seconds with Spot-Lock technology. Activate it, and the motor's built-in GPS holds your position within feet, even in wind or current. Perfect for marking structure like oyster beds or wrecks where big fish lurk. Jog mode lets you fine-tune 5-foot increments around the spot, expanding your drift without resetting.

Fishermen love how it mimics a Minn Kota i-Pilot but integrates seamlessly with Lowrance chartplotters for route recording and auto-follow paths, turning your boat into a self-piloting machine for trolling lures or searching flats.

Engineered for Saltwater Toughness

Salt spray and submersion? No problem. The Xi5's anodized aluminum mount and stainless steel hardware resist corrosion, while the composite shaft flexes around obstacles like rocks or oyster bars without snapping. Fully sealed electronics shrug off saltwater intrusion, backed by stall protection that safeguards the motor if you hit debris.

The low-profile mount stows flat and deploys smoothly with a secure lock, minimizing deck clutter on smaller vessels. Its 60-inch shaft suits boats with higher freeboards, providing optimal prop depth for efficiency and thrust in choppy conditions.

Power and Efficiency That Lasts

At 105lbs of thrust on 36V power, it punches through headwinds and currents while digital efficiency recaptures lost energy for extended runtime. Expect fewer battery swaps on multi-day trips. Smooth variable speed control avoids jerky starts, mimicking natural drifts that trigger strikes from finicky species.

Pro tip: Pair it with deep-cycle batteries matched to your boat's electrical draw for optimal performance. Many users upgrade to lithium setups for even lighter weight and longer outings.

Real-World Angler Tips for Peak Performance

• Rinse religiously: After every saltwater session, flush the shaft and prop with fresh water to extend component life.
• Prop selection: Switch to a weedless prop for grassy areas; the stock two-blade excels in open water.
• GPS calibration: Update firmware via the app for the latest Spot-Lock accuracy improvements.
• Mounting hacks: Use quick-release pins for easy removal when trailering, protecting the motor from road rash.
• Battery monitoring: Integrate a voltmeter to the LED system for at-a-glance power management on long runs.

These tweaks help everyday anglers get pro-level results, turning challenging outings into consistent success stories.
