Sonar Ready Wireless Motorguides

Lund 20' Deep-V Alaskan Example:  Let's assume the boat when loaded for fishing has a measurement of 34" from the water line to the gunnels.  As a rule of thumb we add 24" to this number which equals a total shaft length of 58".  Now we round to the nearest shaft length based on the water most often fished and your style of fishing.  In this case, the boat is probably used in big water and would work best with a 60" shaft motor to make sure the prop does not blow-out in rough water and a 24-volt, 75 lb. thrust motor with Digital Variable Speed Control which is three times more efficient for more trolling time on the water would work best.  MotorGuide Wireless Model W75L 60" with a built-in 200 kHz Lowrance transducer would be the best models to consider.

 

You're now free to move about the deck, free from interference and free to navigate using the finest sonar picture you've ever laid eyes on. This new motor features a built-in Lowrance Sonar Transducer that's optimized for Lowrance Sonar units and gives you the ability to see all the detail including tiny baitfish, fish-holding structure and individual game fish, plus the versatility to control the boat from anywhere in it.

Use up to four wireless control units - mix and match our Wireless Hand-Held Remotes (sold separately) and foot pedals (one included).  And fear no big water.  It's beefed-up with a rugged, Cradle Lock mounting system and a shaft that's 33% stronger than the competition.  Easier stow and deploy, and oversized brushes make life in the chop a little smoother.  See how liberating Wireless freedom can be, see bottom contours like never before.

MotorGuide Sonar Ready Motors with Built-in Lowrance 200 kHz Transducer and Temperature Sensor are design to be plugged directly into Lowrance Sonar units to maximize Sonar performance showing all of the available detail (baitfish, temperature breaks, bottom changes, ect.) important to locating game fish.  With a built-in transducer, motor installation is quick and easy with no transducer cables, wire-ties or hose clamps running down the shaft.  Simply plug-in the 6-pin Lowrance Sonar connector coming out of the motor, connect your power cable and you are ready to go fishing.  MotorGuide sells a 7-pin (blue/gray) Lowrance Sonar Adaptor Cable for additional transducer compatibility. 

Additionally, other leading brands with 200 kHz capability are compatible with the MotorGuide Sonar Ready Wireless Series.  Look for these Sonar Adaptors to be available in January 2007. 

Pontoon Friendly.  The new MotorGuide Wireless Sonar Ready Series is designed to be the most pontoon friendly trolling motor ever made.  With a small footprint mount that is removable and lockable, the industry's easiest stow and deploy, and wireless control from anywhere in the boat, you have the freedom and flexibility you need.  Recommend shaft lengths for all pontoon boats are 42" to 48".  The Wireless Series W55L 48" or W75L 48" would be the ideal motor of choice.  Now you can take command of the boat from anywhere in it.

 

Deep-V Trolling.  MotorGuide Sonar Ready Wireless Series trolling motors are made to fit boats with Deep-V hulls that are designed for big-water fishing situations in open water.  The small removable mounting plate makes it easy to install and mount the motor for operation.  The connection is rock solid which is perfect for rough-water applications.  The small size of the Mounting Plate foot-print (11" long & 6.5" wide) allows it to fit almost any aluminum or fiber glass boat on the market.  There are adjustable slide mounts on the market for those difficult mounting applications where the motor does not clear the gunnels.

The Wireless Series Design allows the shaft to slide through the mount which minimizes the mount size and easily handles the design requirements of longer shafts.  This design makes the motor perfect for Deep-V Boats.  The Wireless concept allows the motor to be operated from anywhere in the boat allowing the angler to troll from the back of the boat with the Wireless foot-pedal or optional hand-held remote.  Another popular fishing technique is to trolling crankbaits on a depth contour for Walleyes with a small Mercury 9.9 hp. kicker or big engine using the Wireless Series Trolling motor and remote steering function to enhance your steering.  The leverage the Wireless Series Trolling motor has in the front of the boat makes it much easier to turn the boat, while the kicker or big engine provides the power to buck the wind and generate the proper trolling speed.  By using a depth finder, an angler can closely follow a depth contour keeping the lure in the strike zone and maximize fishing results.

Shaft Length Selection "Rule of Thumb" for foot-control trolling motors.  A basic rule of thumb for determining the proper trolling motor shaft for a boat and the water conditions is to measure the distance from the boat's waterline to the mounting platform (boat gunnels) and add 24 inches and then round to the closest shaft length available.
