Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I upgrade this motor to include GPS Anchor mode later?
Yes. The Xi3-70FW (MPN 940700200) is **GPS-Ready**. You can purchase and install the MotorGuide Pinpoint® GPS upgrade kit at any time to add anchoring and route-following capabilities.
2. Why is the 60-inch shaft necessary for this power level?
A 60-inch shaft is often preferred on multispecies boats where the bow sits higher off the water. The extra length prevents the motor from cavitating (sucking in air) during swells or choppy water, ensuring consistent 70 lb thrust delivery.
