Unlock Precision with Pinpoint GPS

Take navigation to pro levels with Pinpoint GPS, delivering anchoring accuracy three times tighter than competitors. Hold your spot rock-steady against tide shifts or wind gusts—perfect for live bait presentations or jigging over structure. Jog mode nudges you inches at a time for micro-adjustments, while route playback replays your hottest drifts automatically. Pair it with compatible displays via NMEA 2000 for a unified helm experience, mirroring motor data right alongside your charts and sonar.

Anglers report landing more fish by staying locked on productive spots longer, turning good days into limits. Whether drifting edges or hovering over wrecks, this GPS elevates your game without complicated setups.

Engineered Tough for Saltwater Challenges

Salt spray, corrosive brine, and relentless sun test every component, but the Xi5 thrives. Its 56-amp draw balances brute force with efficiency, powering through choppy conditions on bay boats or center consoles. Stealthy silence means finicky species never see or hear you coming, while the sophisticated steering transmission—complete with sealed bearings—ensures crisp response mile after mile.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Uptime

1. Rinse thoroughly after every trip to extend corrosion protection.
2. Monitor battery levels via LED indicators to avoid mid-fight cutouts.
3. Stow properly using the secondary lock for trailering security.
4. Trim prop angle for optimal thrust in varying depths.

Real Angler Scenarios Where Xi5 Shines

In skinny water sight-fishing, quick jogs keep you on tailing fish without spooking the school. During incoming tides on flats, GPS anchor holds you against the push, letting you work lures precisely. Offshore console runs? Route playback retraces reef drifts hands-free. It's versatile for everything from inshore poling to nearshore trolling, always reliable when it counts.

Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor w/Pinpoint GPS Wireless Remote

The Xi5 is designed to exceed the expectations of today's discriminating customer. It's engineered to be reliable every day - and durable over the long haul. Unlike the competition the Xi5 includes wireless capability "right out of the box", anglers can command precise motor and steering control from anywhere on the boat. A hand-held remote is standard with saltwater models. Plus, we've made it stealthy quiet and silky smooth. And you'll also see thoughtful details that make it safe and easy to use.

Key Advantages

Status Indicators at a Glance
The Xi5 uses LED lights in the controller so anglers can quickly check the status of four key functions in any light conditions. The battery power indicator uses different colored lights to show three levels of battery life in real time.

Next-Gen Digital Technology
Our wireless pedal provides outstanding motor control from anywhere on the boat. Our new Digital technology features durable cooler-running power electronics that are 50% more efficient. They also capture and store energy that is typically lost as heat. This improved efficiency means longer run time and fewer battery charges. Digital speed control delivers power, smoothly and incrementally, at the precise level needed by the operator.

Low-Profile Mount
An improved low-profile mount is all about form and function. The base uses anodized aluminum to prevent corrosion. The hardware components are stainless steel throughout, including the linkage that's built to be extra tough. The unique stow and deploy mechanism aligns and guides the motor into the stowed position and secures it in place. For added safety, a secondary lock prevents unintentional deployment and potential damage.

Features

Sophisticated Steering Transmission - From its ball bearings that reduce friction and wear, to custom seals that keep water and dust out, to an extra-rigid shaft support tube - the Xi5 steering transmission delivers dependable, quiet, precise performance.
Fully-Protected Electronics - The high-efficiency electronics are fully encapsulated in a high-tech coating, making them impervious to water and dust. There's also a protection circuit that prevents lower unit damage if the prop is stalled.
Composite Shaft - The composite shaft can take on any and all obstructions that get in its way. It'll bend, but won't break. That's why it's backed with a lifetime warranty.

After careful design, it is reliable and durable every day. Unlike the competition, the new Motorguide Xi5 electric bow saltwater towing motor has "out of the box" wireless capabilities, so anglers can command precise motor and steering control from any position on the boat. The LED lights in the controller allow you to quickly check the status of the four key functions under any lighting conditions, including power-on/ready, start-up, precise positioning GPS activation and battery status.
