Anglers who demand reliability in harsh saltwater environments swear by its intuitive design that keeps you focused on the water, not fumbling with cords or foot pedals.

Seamless Control at Your Fingertips

Imagine casting lines without ever leaving your spot— this wireless remote delivers instant response for steering left, right, speed adjustments, and momentary power bursts.

Standout Features That Matter on the Water

• Extended Range: Reliable control up to 150 feet away, giving you freedom to maneuver from the bow, stern, or anywhere on deck.
• Intuitive Button Layout: Large, tactile buttons for speed (1-5 levels), directional steering, and anchor mode—easy to use even with gloves or in rough conditions.
• Battery Efficiency: Powered by standard CR2032 batteries that last through multiple trips, with low-battery indicators to keep you prepared.
• Saltwater-Tough Build: Corrosion-resistant materials withstand spray, humidity, and UV exposure without losing functionality.

Built for the Demands of Saltwater Angling

Saltwater fishing throws everything at your gear—constant exposure to brine, sand, and sun. This FOB's rugged construction features sealed electronics and marine-grade housing that shrugs off the elements. Users report it holding up season after season, outlasting cheaper alternatives that corrode or glitch after a few outings. Pair it with your Xi5's wireless foot pedal for dual-control options, switching seamlessly between hand and foot as conditions change.

Pro Tips for Maximum Performance

To get the most from your remote, store it dry after each use and rinse with fresh water post-saltwater trips. Regularly check battery contacts for corrosion and update your motor's firmware if available through MotorGuide's app ecosystem. For optimal range, mount your Xi5's transducer head in a clear line-of-sight position. Serious kayak and flats anglers often carry a spare FOB for uninterrupted action during tournaments.

Whether you're chasing redfish in the marshes or drifting for trout along coastal drop-offs, this wireless remote transforms how you handle your trolling motor. It's not just a replacement part—it's the tool that sharpens your edge on the water.
