The MotorGuide Xi3-55FW 36" Kayak Motor is a 12V electric trolling motor built specifically for freshwater kayak fishing, where weight and quiet operation matter as much as thrust. It produces 55 pounds of peak thrust through a 36-inch shaft and weighs just 15 pounds, so it sits well on a paddle-craft bow without throwing off trim. Anglers who fish ponds, backwaters, and timber-lined shorelines get precise hands-free positioning from the included Pinpoint navigation remote. This is the navigation-remote model (MPN 940700280), which carries the satellite positioning hardware but no built-in sonar. See our full range of trolling motors for comparison.
The Xi3-55FW runs a 3-blade machete propeller and pulls a maximum of 52 amps off a 12V deep-cycle battery, with MotorGuide's Digital Power Management rated to stretch runtime up to five times longer than non-digital motors. Expect roughly 4 to 8 hours of intermittent use on a single charge depending on conditions. The Pinpoint navigation system supports jogs, anchor lock, and route repeats, all driven through the wireless remote that ships in the box. The SecureStep stow and deploy mechanism makes raising and lowering the motor manageable from a seated position, and the unit runs about 40 percent quieter than competing motors. An LED dashboard reports four status indicators, and the motor accepts an optional wireless foot pedal for hands-free steering.
This motor fits anglers who want to hold position over a brush pile or work a shoreline without paddling and without spooking fish. The anchor-lock function keeps the kayak parked in wind or current while you cast, and the wireless remote means you never reach forward to adjust heading. MotorGuide backs it with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects and a lifetime warranty on the shaft. Pair it with a deep-cycle battery and consider matching hardware from our trolling motor accessories and propeller sections to keep a spare blade on hand.
No. The 940700280 is the navigation-remote configuration. It carries the satellite positioning hardware for anchor lock, jogs, and route repeats, but it does not include built-in sonar. MotorGuide left sonar out of this version to keep the motor lighter for kayak use.
It runs on a 12V deep-cycle marine battery and draws a maximum of 52 amps. On a single charge you can expect roughly 4 to 8 hours of intermittent use, depending on speed, wind, and current. Digital Power Management helps extend runtime compared with non-digital motors.
The shaft measures 36 inches, sized for kayak bow mounting, and the motor weighs 15 pounds. That low weight keeps a paddle-craft's trim balanced and makes the SecureStep stow and deploy system easy to operate from a seated position.
Yes. The Xi3-55FW is compatible with an optional wireless foot pedal sold separately. Out of the box it ships ready to run on the included wireless remote, which controls steering, speed, and the Pinpoint anchor and navigation functions.
The Pinpoint navigation system uses satellite positioning to hold the kayak over a fixed spot. Once engaged, it makes small motor corrections to fight wind and current so you stay parked over a brush pile or drop-off without paddling or re-anchoring.
