Overview

The MotorGuide 8M0092068 is a 2.4 GHz wireless remote fob for Xi3 and Xi5 saltwater trolling motor setups, giving you basic steering and speed control without staying on the foot pedal.

The fob must be synced to the trolling motor before it will respond, and it is ready for use when the motor is powered up and in the deployed position. Power comes from one AAA alkaline battery.

Key features

• 2.4 GHz wireless key-fob control for compatible MotorGuide Xi3 and Xi5 saltwater trolling motors
• Button control for propeller on/off, speed up/down, and left/right steering
• Syncs to the trolling motor receiver before use
• Runs on one AAA alkaline battery with a gasketed back cover

Installation and setup

Pairing is done at the trolling motor. With the motor deployed and power connected, complete the sync step within the initial power-up window so the receiver can store the fob. A confirmation tone indicates the link is accepted.

When adding more than one control device, the receiver is set up to learn them one at a time, with the trolling motor power cycled between each device.

Compatibility and fit

This fob matches Xi series systems that use the simple 5-button wireless control. If your motor uses a different style handheld remote for advanced functions, this fob will not match that control type.

Battery and water protection

Battery replacement is straightforward: remove the rear screws, swap in a fresh AAA alkaline battery, then reinstall the cover. Make sure the rubber seal is seated correctly before tightening the screws so the housing stays closed up against spray and washdowns.

Use on board

This remote makes sense for anglers who move around the bow while working a shoreline, landing fish, or handling lines and still want quick access to prop on/off, steering, and speed changes.
