Motorguide Xi3 trolling motor | Pinpoint Install

[@rickvann3489]

I was sponsored by PinPoint trolling motors before Motorguide bought them. Truly they were way ahead. I had creek track, contour tracking, depth track along with digital read outs.

[@OneObjective]

Dang that is nice

[@russhood6747]

This video is perctly on point I purchased a SS107 and the Motoguide XI3 without pin point GPS.

[@robertbennett6418]

FYI ... I replaced my old Minn Kota Power Drive with a Motor Guide Xi3. My main concern was modifying the Minn Kota quick release mount to fit the Xi3. Didn't want to drill new holes in my boat. No problem. Xi3 fits perfectly on Minn kota quick release mount. Fish On!

[@Nazman06]

I am thinking of buying the MG Xi3..How do you like it so far?

[@robertbennett6418]

I don't. It did fit using the quick release from my old Minn Kita. Problem was it didn't work. Had on the water twice. Even talked with MG on water and could not get it to work completely. Did like what did work so when Bass Pro took it back I ordered another. It arrived broken in the shipping container. Bass Pro took it back also. Done with MG. Paid a bit more for a Minn Kota but it works Super. Bass Pro Shop was awesome. If you go with MG make sure you can return it. I have no faith in their product. Good Luck.

[@robertbennett6418]

Also ... It would have taken months to get repaired. Be careful.

So happy I found this video! Thanks for doing this video! We have a new Tahoe 1950 with 3 fish finders (check out that video on our channel!). We added everything, but we were missing the Pinpoint!

[@BackWaterYakin]

Awesome products still hoping for a bow mount for a topwater/sportsman pdl!

[@BassManStrikes]

How do you deploy that when on the water? Does it have trim function so you can raise and lower it?

[@eddygoldman8811]

How did y’all extend the top bar on the trailer please

[@randymanning7779]

Do you know if the new motor guide xi3 with the 36 inch shaft come with the pinpoint and gps already installed on unit. I currently have the Garmin live scope and Garmin graph. Do you guys have a video on how to set up motor guide to work with Garmin graph thanks for your reply in advance. Also I like the way you guys have your hobie pro angler 14 set up. That is what I’m currently running Thanks Randy

[@HowToHaveFunOutdoors]

Where do you buy that pinpoint? We want that!

[@2phengxg835]

Can you do a video of your setup for the trolling motor.

[@nainabla]

Can this motor be used for autonomous boat for a trip from Japan to Canada? Do the waypoints have a distance limitation?

[@jeffreyau1286]

So is it when I buy the Xi3 55lb 36" Kayak With Pinpoint GPS then I don’t have to do it right. Everything is included?

[@OneObjective]

That’s right if you buy it with pin point it’s already installed

[@j.juanillo2930]

What fishfinder with GPS can I install for the pinpoint?

[@I_am_archie]

How well is spot lock working for you? I've seen feedback that's shows it doesn't work well and then I've seen feedback that shows it does.

[@jim62367]

What is the purpose of the cable connector that you left sticking out of the base?

[@OneObjective]

That’s for the cable to connect your graph to. You will need the nema cable

[@jim62367]

@@OneObjective Thanks! I am not sure though, since the PinPoint system is now installed, why I would need to hook up my graph/GPS to it. What would that do if I can already anchor and such using PinPoint? I'm sorry, this is all new to me and I literally cannot find information for this unit anywhere else.

[@joshuahawks894]

Just wondering if you can tell me where you got the plug for your trolling motor and thing you mounted into the hull of that Slayer Max

[@OneObjective]

[e-mail] and if you don’t see what you are look for give use a call

[@stevendeakles6956]

Do you have to calibrate it every time you disconnect the battery or just a one time thing

[@OneObjective]

Just the first time

[@jeffreykoller8929]

Where can I get a bow mount for my ATAK 120

[@keithl6596]

Is this motor guide the regular one without gps? Then you added gps pinpoint to it .

[@OneObjective]

Yep

[@richierich7392]

Is that a 45lb or 55lb thrust? Thanks !

[@OneObjective]

55lbs

[@kylebuschfan3228]

Does the "basic" version of the Xi3 at 859usd$ have the spotlock

[@nealecole8768]

No

[@OffTheCouchFishing]

How much does a Xi3 without the pinpoint gps?

[@fishermancram6035]

is there a benefit to doing this instead of just buying the one with GPS built in?

[@OneObjective]

There is no benefit to it. it’s just hard to get them with gps and easier right now to do it this way

[@diyertime]

I bought an xi3 and it came installed. It looks exactly like this installation so I don't think that there's any difference.

[@heathjerry5152]

I need a trolling motor bracket for a motor guide XI3 for my 2014 jackson big rig can y’all build Me one

[@OneObjective]

Where are you located?

[@fishing_with_ryan2416]

What size battery are you running?

[@OneObjective]

80amp

[@rballwv]

excuse the stupidity, what is that cord hanging out in the front for? a pedal?

[@OneObjective]

It’s so you can hook your fishfinder to it for GPS

[@tbonekelley]

Will anchor still work without hooking it to your fish finder?

[@fishmandan]

@@tbonekelley Yes Anchor lock works using the pinpoint. You can then network to a Lowrance finder to allow you to run with the finder and also to select a waypoint and it will auto steer to that point. The network also will show the power percentage being used and the heading when on auto steer.

[@tbonekelley]

Thank you

[@truck2041]

What would be needed to add to a Lowrance elite fs
