MotorGuide Xi3-70SW - Bow Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - GPS - 70lb-54"-24V Product Description

Imagine gliding silently across saltwater flats, your eyes locked on a school of redfish, without the hassle of tangled cables or noisy distractions. The MotorGuide Xi3-70SW bow mount trolling motor transforms those moments into reality, blending cutting-edge wireless freedom with pinpoint precision navigation. Designed for serious anglers who demand reliability in harsh marine environments, this 70-pound thrust powerhouse on a 54-inch shaft delivers variable speed control and effortless handling from anywhere on your boat.

What sets it apart? It's not just about power—it's the seamless integration of features like the SecureStep deployment system and Pinpoint GPS that keep you focused on the bite, not the boat. Anglers rave about its quiet operation, which lets you sneak up on spooky fish without spooking them, and the digital smarts that stretch battery life during long days on the water.

Why Anglers Choose the Xi3-70SW for Saltwater Adventures

In the competitive world of trolling motors, the Xi3-70SW stands out for its saltwater-tough build and intuitive controls. Here's what makes it a game-changer:

  • Ultra-Quiet Stealth Mode: Engineered to run 40% quieter than many rivals, it minimizes water disturbance, perfect for sight fishing in shallow bays or targeting trophy snook along mangroves.
  • Effortless Stow and Deploy: The SecureStep system lets you lock, release, and raise the motor with one foot from a standing position—50% easier than traditional setups, reducing back strain on bigger boats.
  • Unmatched Durability: An unbreakable composite shaft paired with a triple-coated anti-corrosion lower unit laughs off saltwater abuse, ensuring years of trouble-free service.
  • Propulsion Perfection: The three-blade Machete propeller slices through weeds and current, maintaining steady thrust even in choppy conditions.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this 24-volt, 42-amp motor isn't just equipment—it's a trusted partner for offshore kayak trips or center console pursuits.

Wireless Control and Pinpoint GPS: Freedom Meets Precision

Forget foot pedals tethering you to the bow. The included compact handheld remote puts full electric steering and speed control in your pocket, so you can adjust course while netting a keeper. Add an optional wireless foot pedal for those hands-free moments.

Pinpoint GPS elevates your game with industry-leading accuracy—proven three times more precise than competitors. Anchor on a spot-lock without drifting, follow contours with route navigation, or save unlimited waypoints for repeat visits to honey holes. Pair it with compatible displays for real-time structure mapping and automated trolling paths, turning your vessel into a high-tech fishing machine.

"It's like having a co-pilot that never complains—holds position rock-solid in 15-knot winds while I cast to structure." – Experienced flats angler

The LED dashboard keeps you informed with battery levels, power status, and GPS lock at a glance, preventing surprises mid-fight.

Maximize Thrust and Battery Life with Digital Power Management

Delivering 70 pounds of thrust on a 54-inch shaft, this bow mount thrives on bass boats, bay vessels, or skiffs up to 20 feet. Digital power management optimizes efficiency for up to five times longer runtime, running cooler and smarter under load.

Pro tip: Pair with deep-cycle marine batteries and monitor via the dashboard to push through all-day tournaments. Sophisticated steering transmission ensures responsive turns, even at low speeds for precise jigging or drifting live bait.

Ideal for These Scenarios:

  • Chasing tarpon in coastal passes with variable speeds from idle to full throttle.
  • Holding over reefs for bottom fishing without constant corrections.
  • Navigating tight mangroves where quiet and control matter most.

Long-Term Reliability: Tips from Seasoned Users

To keep your Xi3 humming season after season, rinse the lower unit after every saltwater outing, inspect the composite shaft for dings, and store in the stowed position. The corrosion-resistant finish handles the brine, but fresh water flushes extend prop life. Regularly update firmware via manufacturer tools for the latest GPS enhancements.

Compared to cable-steer models, electric steering reduces wear and maintenance, freeing you for more time on the water.
