The Motorguide electric outboard motors are probably the most reliable and efficient in the market. It is by far the wisest decision you will ever make, second to chosing fishing as a hobby. In particular:

• They cost significantly less than fuel outboard engines
• They offer significant savings in the long run as they do not require fuel, or lubricants
• Service is a burden you will forget for life. Every 100 Hours of Use or Annually (whichever occurs first), apply 2-4‑C with PTFE to the depth collar knob screw threads
• They are completely silent, hence do not scare fish away in shallow waters
• They are light and easy to carry
• Installing one takes literaly a few seconds as no fuel tank and pipes are required
• Just connect them to a battery and they are on. Nothing else such as starter rope pulling is required from you.
• 100% waterproof
• There is total and immediate support from the dealership

Unrivaled Sonar Performance

The built-in 83/200 kHz sonar transducer delivers industry-leading clarity and detail, so you can pinpoint more fish and structure. It has an integrated temperature sensor and epoxy-potted nose cone for maximum protection. Compatibility with most leading sonar brands is easy with our Sonar Adapter cables.

Next-Gen Digital Technology

Our wireless pedal provides outstanding motor control from anywhere on the boat. Our new Digital technology features durable cooler-running power electronics that are 50% more efficient. They also capture and store energy that is typically lost as heat. This improved efficiency means longer run time and fewer battery charges. Digital speed control delivers power, smoothly and incrementally, at the precise level needed by the operator.

Low-Profile Mount

An improved low-profile mount is all about form and function. The base uses anodized aluminum to prevent corrosion. The hardware components are stainless steel throughout, including the linkage that's built to be extra tough. 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.

All-New Composite Shaft

The new composite shaft can take on any and all obstructions that get in its way. It'll bend, but won't break. That's why it's backed with a lifetime warranty.

Easy to read LED dashboard

The Xi5 uses LED lights in the controller so anglers can quickly check the status of four key functions in any light conditions.

- Power ON / System Ready

- Propeller ON

- Pinpoint GPS System Active

The battery power indicator uses different colored lights to show three levels of battery life in real time.

Technical Characteristics

• Sophisticated Steering Transmission - From its ball bearings that reduce friction and wear, to custom seals that keep water and dust out, to an extra-rigid shaft support tube– the Xi5 steering transmission delivers dependable, quiet, precise performance.
• Fully-Protected Electronics - The high-efficiency electronics 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.

  - Jog: While in Anchor mode, use the Jog feature to shift your position five feet in any direction. You can Jog as often as you want.
  - Heading Lock: Choose a heading and Pinpoint GPS and the Xi5 will keep you on a straight-line course until Heading Lock is released.
  - Route Record / Playback: Record and store eight routes up to four miles long each. Return and replay a stored route from anywhere.
  - Cruise Control: While under way using Heading Lock or Route Playback, Cruise Control will maintain a constant boat speed. It even makes adjustments for wind and current.
