MOTOR AHEAD

Written by

The MotorGuide range includes salt- and freshwater models; bow- or stern-mounted options; wireless remote, cable or hand steering; shafts from 76cm to 183cm and thrust between 30lbs and 109lbs.

MotorGuide’s Pinpoint GPS navigation system stores up to eight ‘anchor’ locations, offers ‘heading lock’ and ‘cruise control’ to navigate the boat on specific compass headings while holding a constant speed against wind and current, and ‘route memory’ mode, which retains up to eight routes of 6.5km each.

MotorGuide Xi5 and Xi3 trolling motors integrate with chart plotter/ fish finder touch-screen technology from Mercury Vessel View, Lowrance and Simrad (check out the website below for model details).

Supplied with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty, MotorGuide trolling motors are sold and supported across New Zealand through selected Mercury Marine dealers.
