MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - 55lbs-48"-12V

The MotorGuide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor in 55-pound thrust, 48-inch shaft, 12-volt configuration is purpose-built for serious freshwater anglers who demand silent, precise boat control in shallow to moderate depths. This wireless trolling motor eliminates the clutter of traditional foot pedal cables, allowing you to focus entirely on detecting structure, reading conditions, and setting the hook. Whether you're working grass beds, timber, or open water, the Xi5 delivers the quiet maneuverability that prevents spooking fish while keeping your vessel exactly where it needs to be.

Built into this model is integrated sonar and GPS technology that transforms situational awareness on the water. The wireless remote control system grants you freedom to move throughout the boat without losing steering authority, while integrated GPS enables return-to-location precision and maintains heading automatically in variable wind and current. The 55-pound thrust rating provides sufficient power for boats up to roughly 5,000 pounds in calm to moderate conditions, and the 48-inch shaft length accommodates deeper freeboard heights on center-console or bow-raised hull designs. The 12-volt system draws power directly from your boat's main battery bank, simplifying installation and eliminating auxiliary power requirements.

This trolling motor suits competitive tournament anglers, shallow-water specialists, and dedicated bass or crappie hunters who rely on GPS waypoints and sonar overlay for consistent results. Installation requires a standard bow-mount footplate, 12-volt connectivity, and minimal through-hull modification on aluminum or fiberglass hulls. The wireless architecture reduces maintenance headaches associated with mechanical cables and foot pedal linkages, while integrated sonar and GPS eliminate the need for aftermarket transducer mounting and provide true integrated fishfinding capability from the helm position.
