Great Video on this! One of the best how-to's I have ever seen on youtube. CUDOS and thanks1
William, I had the same issue with the push washer falling off. My solution was to drill the pin and insert a cotter pin. Its kind of a field fix but it works.
Alright. This was a great video.
I replaced my board! But. It didn’t fix my problem.
Symptoms:
1. Doesn’t pair with foot petal or remote
2. Only the power light is on when the motor is deployed and I plug it into the battery. When I push down the buttons per the owners manual for pairing I do not hear the low tone.
Eventually, the GPS light will turn on and make a beep.
Then all I can do is unplug it and try again.
I already replaced the control board. But the same issues.
Any ideas?
Other thoughts are the batteries, GPS module, or needing to re calibrate the GPS.
Let me know what you think
I have the Xi3 with pinpoint gps would this video be good for replacing the Xi3 mother board? Also would it be the mother board if the prop comes on but the unit does not turn either direction and makes a humming sound when the direction buttons are pushed? Any help would be great
Thank you for the video, very informative. I have a question please about the universal board. Would that means I don’t have to replace the board if I change the motor from 24 volts to 36 volts ?
Hoping you'll see this. If I wanted to quiet the beep so it's not so pronounced every time I turn the motor on and off, could I just put a piece of electric tape over what appears to be the beep speaker on the circuit board (that round thing sitting by itself next to the ribbon cable connection)? It's so annoying because I am often pulsing the motor in wind.
I just put a new control board in. Very simple process, especially with this video. HOWEVER one in and I plug in my power light is blinking even when motor is NOT deployed. Read somewhere that maybe that is a new Standby feature? Also my remote won't sync and has brand new batteries. Any thoght wold be appreciated.
Thanks...forgot (crs) where the main black wire went, and it was a pain to find anything to say where
I don't understand why you moved the sonar bundle in the head?
What size (amount) of heat sink compound do I need for the job? Thanks in advance! Great Video!!
About 6 grams for one control board.
What's the reason for using this compound?
Iv had the power board go on my motor guide xi5 80lb I’m about to replace
Do I also need to replace the gps module aswell or are they generally ok ?
Hi guys,
Think my board might be busted but not 100% sure. So I've got power to the two points on the board + and - but nothing happening. Tried hard reset.... nothing.... no beeps no nothing. Is there any other troubleshooting you recommend before committing to either a new motor or new board?
I think I have the same problem. Any luck figuring it out?
Any luck with troubleshooting?
Nope just replaced the whole motor and sold the busted ass for parts
I have a problem with MTG Xi5. The anchoring funcion does not work. When ON the motor start to work on max power and directing the boat to some North direction. Any suggestins?
I got a new control board and GPS unit still having issues seems like the Compass is getting confused. Everything else is working as expected. Have removed excess cable in the head but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.
Motor not going in reverse and anchor mode is not holding. Could this be the fix?
Awesome question, I’m having the same problem. How did you fix the problem?
How do you know the control board needs replacement. Having trouble with my xi3, shots off and also gets a red battery charge indicator light red or blinking red. Check battery wiring, etc and all checks correct. Any Help?
Hey there. I’m having the same issue. All my connections are fine and I even have the same issue when directly wiring the motor to a battery with no breaker in-between. I saw a forum post online that someone had the same issue and found out that there was no thermal grease under the control panel and once they applied some, it stopped having the issue. My motor keeps shutting off with a blinking red light when I go at the higher speeds. Is it the same with yours?
@@xndyh Long story short. I solved the problem when I replaced the 30 year old trolling motor wiring on my 95 Tracker. Went from the 10 gage original wire to a 6 gage. The motor works like it never did since I installed 3-4 years ago. Now, all this after I replaced control box, plug, plug receptacle. By the way I got the 5' trolling motor wiring Kit from Tiny boat Nation.

What is the purpose of moving the sonar wire bundle to the other side?
Any ideas on what might be the cause?
With installing a new control board will the new SWUP 22 update need to be installed on it?
Any solution for the little washers that constantly fall off
Will that work with the xi3. My xi3 will not connect via the nmea 2000 anymore its 1 of 3 things control board gps module or the pinpoint cable maybe you can point me in the right direction
I was having a problem with the prop not turning on. I replaced the control board and it worked great for 2 trips. Went out yesterday and the same issue is back. The prop light will not come on and the remote will not sync,
I am having the same exact problem, except gps will not turn motor on in spot lock mode.
What heat sink compound do you use? Thanks for this video.
Novagard Versilube G644. We have it available in small packs on our site.
Hi, I bought a boat with a Xi5 trolling motor. I preferred to use the remote controller but some day I tried to use the foot pedal and it doesn’t turn left, like something is damaged with its system. I tried sync again but I couldn’t.
Are there any parts to replace available ? Or something I should do to make it work correctly?
Thanks
Unfortunately, Motor Guide does not offer replacement parts for the Xi5 Foot Pedal. You would have to replace the Foot Pedal.
Had the same thing happen over the weekend unit powers up rotates left and right using wireless controller beeps as expected when motor turned on and when you hit the increase and decrease speed buttons but the prop doesn’t spin and subsequently the anchor lock doesn’t work. Prop spins freely by hand. Any help identifying the issue would be most appreciated.
I’m having the same exact issue, were you able to fix it?
Anybody know if the XI3 has the same problem? Mine stopped working out of no where yesterday. It's not getting power. Battery, and battery connections are fine, I'll be checking the plug from the motor to the receptical today, hope that's it🤔.
Do you know where I could get a control board for the remote, they are not water proof, I live in North Queensland and the tropical rain damages them....
Unfortunately, Motor Guide does not offer the control board for the remote separately. You’d have to replace the entire remote.
I have a motorguude xi5 24v salt water w/ gps. I was fishing and had my trolling motor deployed and working. I had it on spotlock as I was fishing. 10 min later I was almost into the rocks. The motor had stopped working, I have full power to the unit also the unit will turn left and right after the motor stopped working. Can you give me any advice on how to fix? Or if you have heard of this problem before and what the fix would be? Thank you
I have the same issue were you able to fix it?
@@micahwood1999 I had it put in the shop, they did a diagnostic test and it worked great. Turns out my batteries were not fully charged enough to power the unit. Hope this helps
