MotorGuide Xi3-70FW - Bow Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - 70lb-54"-24V

Discover Effortless Control on the Water

Imagine gliding silently across the lake, positioning your boat exactly where the fish are biting, all without tangled cords or noisy distractions. The Xi3-70FW bow mount trolling motor transforms your fishing trips with intuitive wireless operation straight out of the box. Designed for serious anglers who demand precision and reliability, this motor delivers 70 pounds of thrust through a sturdy 54-inch shaft, powered by a 24-volt system. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow coves or holding steady over deep-water structure, its electric steering ensures pinpoint accuracy every time.

What sets this motor apart is its commitment to user-friendly design. No more fumbling with foot pedals or climbing over decks—control everything from the hand-held remote while standing comfortably at the helm. Anglers rave about how it cuts through wind and current effortlessly, keeping you locked on productive spots longer.

Whisper-Quiet Operation for Stealthy Approaches

Noise can spook fish from afar, but this trolling motor operates up to 40% quieter than many alternatives, letting you sneak up on schools without alerting them. Its advanced engineering minimizes vibration and propeller hum, ideal for finesse techniques like drop-shotting or jigging where every decibel counts. Pair that with smooth variable speed control from idle to full power, and you'll maintain stealth while covering water efficiently.

Real-world anglers report using it successfully in high-pressure tournament scenarios, where maintaining position quietly gives a competitive edge. The result? More bites, bigger fish, and less frustration on windy days.

SecureStep: Stow and Deploy with Confidence

Safety meets simplicity with the innovative SecureStep system. From a natural standing position, a single lever release locks or unlocks the motor, making stowing at the end of a long day—or deploying at dawn—a breeze. Visual and audible indicators confirm it's secure, reducing the risk of accidents while trailering or navigating ramps.

This feature shines for solo anglers or those with smaller boats, where space and ease are premium. No more awkward bends or heavy lifts; just step, click, and go fish.

Wireless Freedom from Anywhere on Board

The compact hand-held remote puts full command in your pocket, steering left, right, speed adjustments, and more from bow to stern. It's IP67 waterproof rated for worry-free use in splashes or rain. For those who prefer foot control, an optional wireless pedal expands your setup without wiring hassles.

Picture this: You're netting a fighter while adjusting speed remotely, or spotting a school from the back deck and repositioning instantly. This level of mobility redefines multi-species fishing, from walleye at dawn to crappie in the evening.

Digital Power Management for All-Day Runtime

At the heart is cutting-edge digital technology that optimizes power delivery, squeezing up to five times longer battery life from your setup. Components run cooler under load, channeling more energy to thrust rather than waste heat. Built-in safeguards kick in during overloads, protecting your investment from harsh conditions like thick weeds or strong currents.

Anglers often extend trips by pairing it with efficient deep-cycle batteries, focusing on prime feeding windows without range anxiety. It's a game-changer for remote lakes where charging stations are scarce.

Stay Informed with the LED Dashboard

Quick-glance indicators track battery levels (three stages), power draw, and system status, so you're never caught off guard. Mounted intuitively, it blends into your console without cluttering your view.

This smart monitoring empowers better planning—dial back speed to conserve juice mid-day or push harder when a hot bite hits. Knowledge like this separates casual outings from trophy hunts.

Engineered for Freshwater Excellence

Tailored for lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, this 42-amp draw motor thrives in freshwater environments with corrosion-resistant materials. The 54-inch shaft accommodates a wide range of boat sizes, from jon boats to bass rigs, ensuring proper prop depth for maximum efficiency.

Compatibility with advanced GPS gateways opens doors to spot-lock and route-following features, anchoring your boat virtually over honey holes. It's freshwater-focused but rugged enough for everyday abuse.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance

• Battery Optimization: Use matched 12V deep-cycle batteries in parallel for balanced drain. Monitor voltage to avoid deep discharges that shorten lifespan.
• Prop Selection: Stock prop works great, but consider weedless upgrades for vegetated waters to prevent fouling.
• Maintenance Routine: Rinse with fresh water after salty exposures (even freshwater use benefits), inspect shaft bushings, and lubricate pivot points seasonally.
• Fishing Hacks: Leverage wireless control for tandem angling— one handles the rod, the other drifts baits precisely.
• Wind Fighting: The 70lb thrust shines in 10-15mph breezes; tilt slightly into the wind for extra bite resistance.

These strategies, drawn from seasoned users, maximize reliability and extend your time on the water.
