MotorGuide Xi5-80SW 72" Motor - 24V - GPS - Bow Mount

The MotorGuide Xi5-80SW delivers 80 pounds of peak thrust through a 72-inch composite shaft built specifically for saltwater environments. This bow-mount trolling motor runs on 24 volts and includes Pinpoint navigation as standard equipment, giving anglers precise boat positioning through anchor lock, heading hold, and route following. Designed for vessels up to 4,000 pounds, the Xi5-80SW serves serious saltwater fishermen who need reliable thrust and accurate positioning in demanding conditions. The wireless handheld remote comes standard, allowing operation from anywhere on the boat without being tethered to a foot pedal.

MotorGuide engineered this motor with a variable-speed electric drive that delivers quieter operation than stepped-power alternatives—critical when working spooky fish in shallow saltwater flats. The three-blade Machete propeller uses glass-filled composite construction for durability against debris and bottom contact. A low-profile mount offers eight different mounting configurations to fit various bow layouts, and the composite shaft carries a lifetime warranty against breakage. The navigation system provides cruise control functionality alongside the anchoring and heading features, all controlled through the included wireless remote. An optional wireless foot pedal is available for anglers who prefer traditional control methods while working the bow.

This motor earns its place on center consoles, bay boats, and flats skiffs where saltwater corrosion resistance matters as much as thrust output. The integrated navigation holds position over structure while you work a wreck or keeps the boat tracking a grass line without constant manual adjustment. Built at MotorGuide's facility in Lowell, Michigan, the Xi5-80SW ships with a two-year limited warranty on manufacturing defects. We stock trolling motor components alongside our broader parts and accessories selection for anglers outfitting their vessels.
