MotorGuide Xi3-70FW - Bow Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - Sonar/GPS - 70lb-60"-24V

The MotorGuide Xi3-70FW - Bow Mount Trolling Motor - Wireless Control - Sonar/GPS - 70lb-60"-24V is engineered for anglers who demand precision and reliability without the clutter of traditional cable steering. Out of the box, this unit provides immediate wireless control, allowing you to operate the motor from anywhere on the deck. This flexibility is critical when you are working a shoreline or managing multiple lines, as it removes the physical tether to the bow and lets you focus entirely on the bite.

Equipped with a robust 70lb thrust system powered by a 24V configuration, this motor provides the necessary torque to move mid-sized freshwater vessels through heavy wind and current. The 24-volt architecture is a significant advantage for long days on the water, offering superior efficiency and cooler operation compared to 12V alternatives. This ensures that you have consistent power reserves for a full day of tournament fishing or recreational exploration without premature battery drain.

Navigation is handled by the integrated Pinpoint GPS system, which offers elite-level boat control features such as Anchor Mode, Heading Lock, and Route Record. By utilizing the handheld remote, you can "lock" your position on a productive brush pile or underwater ledge with incredible accuracy. The integrated sonar capability allows for seamless connection to your fishfinder, providing a clear view of the water column directly beneath the bow, which is essential for vertical jigging and identifying structure transitions.

The 60-inch shaft is specifically designed for boats with higher bows, ensuring the propeller remains submerged even in choppy freshwater conditions. MotorGuide has prioritized ease of use with a stow and deploy mechanism that is both quiet and efficient, reducing physical strain and preventing the spooking of fish in shallow water. Whether you are looking to buy a primary motor for a new build or seeking a technical upgrade for your current rig, this system delivers the specifications required for professional-grade boat management.
