MotorGuide X5-105FW 50" 36V FP SNR Bow Mount *Remanufactured
MotorGuide X5-105FW 50" 36V FP SNR Bow Mount *Remanufactured Product Description
Imagine gliding silently across a glassy lake at dawn, positioning your boat exactly where the big bass are hiding—without spooking a single fish. That's the edge the MotorGuide X5-105FW 50" 36V FP SNR Bow Mount delivers for serious tournament anglers. This remanufactured powerhouse combines brute 105-pound thrust with pinpoint precision, making it a go-to choice for freshwater warriors chasing trophies on everything from bass boats to larger multi-species rigs.
Unmatched Control with Variable Ratio Steering
At the heart of this trolling motor lies Variable Ratio Steering (VRS) technology—a game-changer for foot-pedal control. Unlike traditional motors that demand constant foot pressure for fine adjustments, VRS adapts the steering ratio based on your input. Quick twists for rapid repositions? Covered. Subtle nudges for stealthy casts? Effortless. Anglers report it feels intuitive after just a few outings, slashing fatigue during those marathon tournament days.
Built Tough for Real-World Fishing Demands
Crafted with an oversized stainless steel outer shaft, this motor shrugs off rocks, stumps, and the relentless pounding of choppy waters. The aircraft-grade aluminum mounting bracket locks securely to your bow, vibrating less than competitors and staying rock-solid even in rough conditions. Pair that with a two-blade weedless propeller, and you're slicing through lily pads and hydrilla like they're not even there—no more frustrating wrap-ups mid-fight with a lunker.
- 105 lbs thrust on 36V power: Powers heavy boats loaded with gear, fighting wind and current without breaking a sweat.
- 50-inch shaft: Ideal for medium to deep transoms, keeping the prop submerged in waves up to 2-3 feet.
- Quick-view LED indicator: Glance down and know your heading instantly—no guesswork.
- Digital variable speed: Smooth from whisper-quiet stalk to full push, with power to spare.
Stealth and Speed for Tournament Wins
In competitive fishing, silence is golden. The X5's floating power steering (FP) and silent navigation rigging (SNR) minimize noise and shaft slap, letting you creep up on bedding fish undetected. Users love how it holds position rock-steady with spot-lock-like intuition, even as winds shift. On big-water impoundments like Guntersville or Table Rock, this motor's torque shines, maintaining speed and direction where lesser units falter.
Remanufactured Reliability You Can Trust
Don't let "remanufactured" fool you—this isn't a hand-me-down. Each unit undergoes rigorous factory testing, replacing wear parts with genuine components to meet or exceed original specs. It's like getting new-motor performance with seasoned durability, perfect for anglers who demand pro-level gear without compromise. Environmentally savvy too, reducing waste while delivering the same warranty-backed confidence.
Setup Simplicity and Maintenance Mastery
Mounting is straightforward: Align the bracket with your boat's bow plate, torque down the bolts, and route the cables cleanly. The foot pedal's ergonomic design fits all boot sizes, with a long cord reaching back to the cockpit. For upkeep, rinse with fresh water after brackish trips (though optimized for freshwater), inspect the prop for dings, and store vertically to prevent shaft warp. Pro tip: Pair with a dedicated 36V battery bank and onboard charger for all-day runtime—expect 4-6 hours at half-speed trolling.
Why Tournament Pros Swear by the X5-105FW
From FLW to B.A.S.S. circuits, pros pick this model for its balance of power, control, and toughness. It's not just about raw thrust; it's the seamless integration that lets you focus on casting and fighting fish. Smaller setups handle bays and creeks flawlessly, while the 105 lbs scales up for jon boats hauling multiple anglers. If you're upgrading from a 55-80 lb motor, the difference in push and precision will transform your game.
