Features
Description
The MotorGuide Xi3-55FW 48-Inch GPS Wireless Trolling Motor comes with a wireless control that lets you precisely operate the motor from anywhere on the boat. Plus, this freshwater motor is quiet, easy to use, and responsive to help you achieve your greatest fishing success every time out on the water. The wireless control is a standard feature of the Xi3 – not the expensive add- on it is for many competitive motors – so you can fish from anywhere on the boat using the convenient hand-held remote. The Xi3 features an easy-to-read LED dashboard that lets you quickly check the status of these four key functions in any light conditions: Power ON/System Ready; Propeller ON; Pinpoint® GPS System Active; and three levels of battery life. This motor also provides best-in-class quiet operation that’s up to 40 percent quieter than the leading competitor. The Pinpoint® GPS is the industry’s most accurate GPS, and it provides 3 times the precision control and a tighter hold on your anchor point. Teaming it with versatile Lowrance® displays (sold separately) makes it easy to maximize Pinpoint® GPS control and functionality to create new fishing strategies. The SecureStep system makes stowing and deploying the Xi3 safe and easy. Releasing the motor from its locked position and raising it to stow-and-go takes just a single step on the release lever from a comfortable standing position. This Xi3-55FW 48-Inch GPS Wireless Trolling Motor delivers 55 pounds of peak thrust and has a 48-inch-long composite shaft with a 3-blade Machete propeller. This 12-volt motor has a maximum draw of 52 amps. MotorGuide has been dedicated to engineering and manufacturing innovative trolling motors and accessories for over 50 years. Proudly setting the standard for the most accurate PinPoint® GPS system and quietest motors, MotorGuide provides anglers with precise propulsion for superior boat control.
