Motorguide wireless trolling motor,
April 24, 2006
By Billyfrom Centre, AL
"I recently purchased this trolling motor because my old motorguide finally gave out. I also bought it with the remote wireless control. After installing it on my Ranger, we took it out for a trial run and found that the ease of control to be wonderful. I was able to fish in situations that i haven't been able to fish before due to being avle to go to the rear deck and fish. I like the continous on when the motor is turned on it let me set the correct speed with the wide range of speed in the variable speed control. Setting the motor on a lower speed and letting it run while fishing allowed me to concentrate more on fishing than turning operating my trolling motor. The wireless remote is wonderful for aloowing fingertip control of the motor even if you are at the other end of the boat. All I can say is "WAY TO GO MOTORGUIDE!!!" You guys have really outdone your self with this motor. Now the real test. Let's see if I can get the same service out of this one that I got out of my old one... 20 years... let's go fishing!!!"

Motorguide Wireless,
August 14, 2008
By Crankinondownfrom San Antonio, Tx
"I found the trolling motor easy to install from the mounting bracket to the motor itself. I had also purchased a handheld remote to go along with the foot pedal - they were also easy to install. I went out on the lake 8/12/2008 to fish and test drive the motor - I had only 1 small problem and that was tilting & pulling the motor back in the boat at the same time. I guess time will fix that problem. I read that some users complained of the beeps the motor makes when a command is given - I can tell you it never bothered the bass as I was catching schooling bass right next to my boat - most of the day. I wish I would of bought this motor when they first came out. Crankinondown San Antonio, Tx"

Read this first before purchasing!!!,
May 29, 2008
By XLVolfrom Knoxville, TN
"Fellow fishermen, I purchased this wireless trolling motor just over a year ago. I had not used it more than maybe 10 times and the circuit board burned up in it. I took it to a dealer and had to have the circuit board replaced which cost me about a month of fishing time. The first time I had the boat out this spring the gear box suddenly locked up in it. Again, I've had to take it to a dealer to have the gear box fixed. This has been very aggravating and disappointing. Also, this is minor but there's a small speaker in the housing that beeps loudly every time you change the speed or direction of the motor and there's no way to turn it off or adjust the volume. I found that rather aggravating as well when you're trying to enjoy peace and quiet on the lake or river. I bought this trolling motor because I was under the impression they were the best and I've had nothing but MAJOR problems with it. As an avid fisherman I expect MotorGuide's products to be much more reliable than this and I wouldn't recommend to anyone that you purchase this trolling motor.
Maybe I was just unfortunate and got a lemon but I'd recommend to anyone that they purchase a Minn Kota instead. Regards, Chris B."

BEST PURCHASE EVER,
March 4, 2008
By JCFDFirefighterfrom Johnson City, TN
"I purchased the trolling motor with a 55 lbs thrust and placed it on the bow of my pontoon boat. it works fantastic. It moves the boat around the water with no problems. The control can wither be placed on the boat or used by hand to operate. I have used it from the dock to manuver the boat. This is one of the best investments I have made to my fishing/boating inventory"

"I bought the motor about a month ago and I am just now getting around to installing it. I opened the box and saw the plastic cover at the top in pieces. I am definitely not happy and hopefully BP takes it back for an exchange. I may try to get a Minn Kota if they are all out of these."

Not too good,
July 25, 2007
By colepfrom Savannah,Ga
"I have the 48'' shaft 75 torque.I got talked into this motor due the smaller size than the wireless. It defenitely takes very little bow area. The mount is not too sturdy though. I have a 95 nitro and the bow is very narrow up there. I have 12 anchors in it now and I still have to torque them down before every trip. I do fish areas in Ga. that has a lot of stumps and floating logs. All the motorguides I have ever had will take this punishment. The motor is 8 months old and the steering mechanism has broke. Basically i have to point the head by hand. The power is the most impressive item on this motor and I also like the remote while elsewhere in the boat. I am going to send this one in for warranty repair and mount an old fashioned motorguide up front and try to selll this one."

Fantastic Trolling Motor,
June 24, 2007
By BassChaser
"I recently purchased and installed the Motor Guide Wireless (75 lb.) thrust trolling motor. It hit the water for the first time today and was I ever impressed. I have always had very good trolling motors (Johnson/Evinrude, Motor Guide, and Minn Kota) but never any as powerful as this model. This thing is a beast!! The wireless foot peddle is an absolute joy to operate. All of my previous trolling motors were the cabled foot controlled models. I must admit that I had some doubts as to whether I would be able to adapt to this system after over twenty years of cables and oversized foot pedals. No more doubts after today. This pedal is small and very portable, but it is very user friendly. Only one warning........ make sure that you start this motor pointing straight ahead and in the lower speeds. If you don"t, you may end up swimming. I am serious, I was shocked at the power this motor delivers. I mounted this motor on my (16 ft.) heavily loaded aluminum bass boat and it seemed like there was no effort involved in hauling us at warp speed down the lake. I was actually thrilled with not having to make steering corrections all day standing on one foot. This motor allows you to run and fish with both feet on the deck. I would challenge anyone to try this motor and make up your own mind. Outstanding product."

Excellent,
March 1, 2007
By Rakerfrom Louisiana
"My 3x trolling motor finally gave out so I went to BPS and I found the wireless. I was thinking this was a gimmick to seperate me from my money. The salesman was very helpful and stated that he has a buddy that loves his. I got one with the extra key fob remote which is pretty awesome.
There are a few things to consider. If your replacing an old trolling motor, this thing has a small footprint and you will most likey end up with holes showing from the old mount. Don't forget to seal these off to keep water from getting into the matting/wood area.
It doesn't have an installation kit with it, meaning you will have to buy a fuse/circuit breaker and longer wiring to reach the batteries seperate if you are installing a boat that has never had a TM. It does include a prop and prop hardware.
The TM comes with a wireless foot controller and it already has batteries installed. It took me awhile to get used to the controls and I would usually touch the wrong button, after a short time, I was a pro. I was fishing an area that has many stumps and it is easy to navigate around these as the TM has a quick response. It moves a half inch if you click the button once, if you hold it down for a sec it rotates real quick. The motor that controls direction is kinda loud I guess, I liked that as I know when it was working. I caught plenty of fish, so it wasn't loud enough to spook the fish.
It beeps once to let you know it is now doing what you asked, it beeps twice when you turn it off. It is plenty loud. Others complained that it is too quiet. I feel it is just right. However, they should give it some kind of volume control so each person can adjust to their liking or turn it off. I would also like to be able to select momentary or on/off when turning it on like a wired TM. Not a show stopper for either of these complaints.
I used the key fob from the back of the boat while checking the livewell. Works great, how many of you had to run from the back of the boat to the TM to make adjustments, well no more. You can do the same with the foot control, it works from anywhere in the boat. If you decide not to screw it down, make sure you stow it away when your using the big motor. I'm sure it will fly out as it is lightweight.
I love this thing and so will you."

Works great except!,
February 11, 2007
By mlpfishing
"The wireless aspect is excellent, response is right on, plenty of power. However, it's not as quiet as it should be. Ever time you make turn adjustments an annoying motor noise comes from the unit. It's as if the unit is struggling to turn but it turns fine. It even makes the noise when testing it out of the water with the propeller still.
I've looked everywhere for information on the noise but no luck. I'll have to call motorguide."

great thought but still needs some work,
November 9, 2006
By jatt9598from Fort Smtih Arkansas
"The trolling motor is pretty smoth. the digital steering is more responsive than i thought. The beeps are hard for elderly people to here so this causes some frustration. LED would have been much better for operational purposes. The unit removes easily and so far I have not had a problem with it in really ruff waters. I give mine a pounding and have not had a dismounting problem yet. I have built a security latch for mine to prevent it from being stolen. Another problem is transducer mounting capabilities. I have found that I have to mount the transducers through the hull of my boat in the front and that is time consuming and of course can only be moounted back beyond the water line.."

Great trolling motor,
November 9, 2006
By RayPfrom Denton, Texas
"I have been very pleased with how user friendly and the thrust of this trolling motor. Very easy to mount and remove for storage. The wireless foot control is small and requires little room on the deck, but easy to use. Requires a small mounting foot print which make installing on smaller boat easy."

Wish I would have bought a Minnkota,
October 24, 2006
By dogdavefrom Pittsburgh, Pa
"The steerin is horrible, why they couldn't have let you have more control instead of steering in half inch increments I will never figure out. And keeping the head straight after raising the unit to run in shallow water is alot of fun. There should also be a way to turn off the annoying beeps. I have half a mind to just void the warranty and dig into it myself to get rid of the beep. In my opinion the wireless series is not worth the money. Next time ( soon ) I will be buying a Minnkota which I should have done in the first place."

By bigkoifrom Sacramento, CA
"Luv this motor ...... and luv to fish. I bought this trolling motor for ease in operation. I have both the foot and hand control and they are fantastic. They respond well and they work, adjustments to speed and direction are simple ..... I luv it when your hands and feet are free to move around and fish from the back of the boat. The motor is very easy to install and the doucmentation is easy to read/understand.
......... Great product ........"
