For serious fisherman, and serious Motorguide fans, we are excited to offer the new Xi5 wireless trolling motor. The Xi5 represents a big step in the right direction for Motorguide and points to their renewed focus on technological innovation and design. The Xi5 offers a host of new features including sophisticated steering transmission, well-lit status indicators, fully protected electronics, a low-profile mount, and a composite shaft. It's engineered to be reliable and long-lasting. The new Xi5 includes wireless capability "right out of the box", enabling you to precisely control your motor from anywhere on the boat. A wireless foot pedal is standard with freshwater models and a hand-held remote is standard with saltwater models. The new Xi5 also runs smooth and extremely quiet. Order it with Pinpoint GPS, MotorGuide's answer to Minn Kota's i-Pilot, and experience the benefits of virtual anchoring, route recording and autopilot/cruise control. See below for additional product details. Split Recommended for: Medium to large freshwater v-hull, bass, pontoon and general fishing boats up to 23'. The 80 lbs thrust motor is recommended for boats weighing up to 4,000lbs. For more help picking the right thrust level - or to learn how much your boat weighs - please refer to our thrust guide. How It's Unique The Xi5 series is a step-up from the (now discontinued) MotorGuide Wireless line of motors. While both models can be controlled wirelessly, only the Xi5 line offers the ability to use GPS to control and position your boat. The Xi5 SW Wireless series motors are available in 55, 80 and 105lb thrust levels. Water Type: Saltwater Shaft Length(s): Xi5 80 SW models are available in shaft lengths of 48", 54" and 60."

(Learn about these features) Available Upgrades: Pinpoint GPS: Advanced GPS-powered boat control (More on Pinpoint GPS) Split Mounting Details: The Xi5 SW includes 8 different mounting options enabling reverse mounting compatibility with older MotorGuide installations as well as competitive models. This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware, and requires drilling into the boat for installation. Ideally, it's best to have access to the underside of the mounting platform in order to secure and fasten the bolting hardware. However, if accessing the underside is impossible you can use no access bolts to secure the motor from the top. For more information see our compatibility and mounting guides. Mount Dimensions: Not available Bolting Pattern: Download here Wiring Details: Xi5 80 can be wired directly to the batteries, and can also be used in conjunction with a plug and receptacle for a cleaner, more professional installation that's easy to remove. To protect your motor from damage, a circuit breaker is also recommended but is not required for installation. The Xi5 80 requires a 60 amp breaker. Motor Voltage and Batteries: Xi5 80 is a 24 volt motor and requires (2) 12-volt marine batteries. For more information, see our articles on battery selection or battery wiring diagrams.
