MotorGuide Xi3-54FW - Pontoon Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - 54lb-48"-12V

Imagine gliding across calm freshwater lakes on your pontoon boat, effortlessly maneuvering toward that perfect fishing spot without wrestling with cables or clunky controls. The MotorGuide Xi3-54FW pontoon mount trolling motor brings that dream to life, blending seamless wireless operation with robust power tailored for leisurely pontoon adventures. Designed specifically for bow mounting on pontoons, this 54lb thrust, 48-inch shaft model runs on a straightforward 12V system, delivering reliable performance hour after hour.

Effortless Wireless Steering for Pontoon Freedom

What sets the Xi3-54FW apart is its out-of-the-box wireless control. No fiddly setups or extra purchases needed—just grab the compact handheld remote and steer from anywhere on deck. Whether you're casting from the bow, relaxing at the helm, or chasing fish mid-boat, precise hand-steer control keeps you in command. Anglers love how it eliminates foot pedal tangles common on pontoons, and the optional wireless foot pedal adds even more flexibility for those who prefer it.

The intuitive LED dashboard gives instant feedback on battery levels (with three clear indicators), motor status, and more, so you stay informed without guesswork. It's all about that laid-back pontoon vibe: simple, responsive, and always ready when you are.

Powerful Yet Quiet Performance on Freshwater

Packed with 54 pounds of maximum thrust at 52 amps, this variable speed forward trolling motor handles variable currents and winds on freshwater lakes and rivers with ease. The 48-inch shaft provides optimal depth for most pontoon setups, keeping the prop submerged even in choppy conditions. MotorGuide's Digital Power Management shines here, offering smooth throttle from idle to full speed while extending battery life up to five times longer than older models. Components run cooler, thrust stays consistent, and built-in safeguards prevent overloads during tough days on the water.

• Ultra-quiet operation—up to 40% quieter than many competitors—for stealthy approaches to fish.
• Freshwater tough: Corrosion-resistant materials stand up to splashes and spray.
• Variable speed control ensures precise trolling speeds for walleye, bass, or crappie.

Stow, Deploy, and Go: Pontoon-Friendly Design

Pontoon owners know space is premium. The Xi3-54FW's quick-release bow mount lets you detach the motor in seconds, freeing up deck space for lounging or gear. The SecureStep system makes stowing a breeze: one standing step on the oversized release lever locks it securely with clear visual and audible cues. It's 50% easier than many rivals, reducing back strain and setup time so you spend more time fishing.

Compatibility with Pinpoint GPS takes it further—anchor virtually on a spot-lock, drift on contour, or follow routes hands-free. Upgrade when ready for next-level navigation that keeps you on fish longer.

Built to Last with Real-World Reliability

Backed by a stellar reputation in the trolling motor world, the Xi3 series delivers day-in, day-out dependability. Freshwater anglers report years of trouble-free use, thanks to efficient digital tech and quality composites. Pair it with a solid 12V deep-cycle battery, and you're set for full-day outings. Maintenance is minimal: rinse after use, check connections, and it's good to go. For pontoons, it's the sweet spot of power, ease, and value.
