MotorGuide Xi3-70SW - Bow Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - 70lb-60"-24V Product Description
Imagine gliding silently across choppy bay waters, your eyes locked on a school of reds, without the hassle of tangled cables or noisy distractions. The MotorGuide Xi3-70SW bow mount trolling motor turns that vision into reality for serious anglers chasing coastal species. Built tough for saltwater abuse, this 70-pound thrust powerhouse with a 60-inch shaft and 24-volt system delivers precise control from anywhere on your bay boat or center console. Wireless freedom means you steer with a compact handheld remote, keeping your hands free for rods and reels.
Why the Xi3-70SW Stands Out in Saltwater Conditions
Saltwater fishing demands gear that laughs off corrosion and relentless waves. The Xi3-70SW's lower unit boasts a proprietary three-coat anti-corrosion finish, proven to withstand the harshest marine environments. Pair that with an unbreakable composite shaft, and you've got a motor that flexes under pressure but never quits. Anglers report seasons of heavy use without a hitch, thanks to digital power management that squeezes up to five times more runtime from your batteries by running cooler and more efficiently.
Effortless Handling with SecureStep and Wireless Precision
- SecureStep Quick Release: Deploy or stow in one smooth step from a standing position—no bending or straining. Visual and audible locks confirm it's secure, reducing deck slips on wet mornings.
- Handheld Remote Control: Intuitive buttons for speed, steering, and power, effective up to 18 feet away. Add a wireless foot pedal later for hybrid control during intense bites.
- LED Dashboard Insights: Quick-glance indicators for battery levels (three stages), power draw, and status, so you never get stranded mid-fight.
Performance That Keeps You on Fish Longer
The sophisticated electric steering transmission paired with variable speed forward control offers pinpoint accuracy at any throttle from 0-100%. It's 40% quieter than many rivals, letting you sneak up on spooky trout or flounder without spooking them. The three-blade Machete prop slices through weeds and current with authority, maintaining thrust where others bog down. At 42 amps max draw, it balances power and efficiency perfectly for all-day runs on 24-volt setups.
Real-World Edge for Bay and Inshore Anglers
On a center console pounding bays or flats, the bow mount design hugs the hull for stability, even in crosswinds. Its 60-inch shaft suits deeper drafts without dragging, and compatibility with Pinpoint GPS gateways (sold separately) unlocks anchor modes, backtracking, and route recording—ideal for marking honey holes in vast estuaries. Skip the sonar clutter here; focus on raw propulsion and navigation upgrades as needed. Early adopters praise its 50% easier deployment, saving time between spots when tides shift fast.
Built to Last: Maintenance and Longevity Tips
Keep it humming with simple rinses after every saltwater trip—freshwater flush the cooling system and wipe down contacts. The limited three-year warranty backs your investment, but smart habits like monitoring voltage prevent issues. Digital safeguards auto-adjust under overloads, extending life beyond specs.

It's up to 40% quieter than leading competitors, thanks to optimized gearing and prop design—perfect for stealthy approaches in shallow waters.
