The MotorGuide Xi5-80SW 60-Inch 24V Wireless Trolling Motor comes with a wireless control that lets you precisely operate the motor from anywhere on the boat. Plus, this saltwater motor features Pinpoint® GPS to help you achieve your greatest fishing success every time out. This Xi5 Wireless Saltwater model has composite shaft material and a 3-blade Machete III Glass-Filled propeller, wireless hand-held controller, digital variable speed controls, forward motor direction, battery meter, and foot-pedal wireless remote is available as an accessory. The wireless control is a standard feature of the Xi5 – not the expensive add-on it is for many competitive motors – so you can fish from anywhere on the boat using the convenient wireless remote. The Xi5 features an easy-to-read LED dashboard that lets you quickly check the status of key functions in any light conditions, including: Power ON/System Ready; Propeller ON; Pinpoint GPS System Active; and three levels of battery life. 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. This motor also features sophisticated steering transmission with ball bearings that reduce friction and wear, custom seals that keep water and dust out, and an extra-rigid shaft support tube, to deliver dependable, quiet, precise performance. And the high-efficiency electronics are fully protected. They are fully encapsulated in a high-tech coating, making them impervious to water and dust. There's also a protection circuit that prevents lower unit damage if the prop is stalled. The Xi5 uses an improved, low-profile mount. The base uses corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum and the hardware components are stainless steel throughout, including the durable linkage. The unique stow and deploy mechanism aligns and guides the motor into the stowed position and secures it in place. For added safety, a secondary lock prevents unintentional deployment and potential damage. The new composite shaft is so capable of managing any obstructions – it will bend but won't break – that it is backed by a lifetime warranty. This Xi5-80SW 60-Inch 24V Wireless Trolling Motor delivers 80 pounds of peak thrust and has a 60-inch-long composite shaft with a 3-blade Machete III Glass-Filled propeller.
