MotorGuide X5-105FW 60" 36V FP SNR Bow Mount *Remanufactured

Dominate the Water with Precision Control

Imagine gliding silently across the lake at dawn, positioning your boat exactly where the big bass are hiding—without spooking them. That's the edge tournament anglers gain from this powerhouse bow mount trolling motor. Built for freshwater warriors who demand reliability under pressure, it combines brute force with finesse, letting you focus on the fight rather than the fight to steer.

With its foot pedal design, you keep both hands free for casting and reeling. Whether you're working a weed-choked flat or navigating tight coves, this motor turns challenging conditions into your playground. Anglers rave about its smooth handling that feels intuitive from the first outing, making long days on the water less taxing.

Key Features That Outperform the Rest

Going beyond basic specs, here's what sets this trolling motor apart in real-world fishing:

• Variable Ratio Steering (VRS): Unlike traditional gearing that feels sluggish at low speeds, VRS delivers pinpoint responsiveness. Fine-tune your direction with minimal pedal effort—ideal for stealthy approaches to structure.
• Oversized Stainless Steel Shaft: Beefed up for abuse, it shrugs off rocks, stumps, and repeated deployments. No more flexing or wobbling when you need stability most.
• Two-Blade Weedless Propeller: Slices through vegetation like butter, keeping you powered even in thick milfoil or hydrilla. Less time clearing props means more time fishing.
• Quick-View LED Indicator: A glance tells you your heading—no squinting at compasses mid-cast.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Mount: Featherlight yet bombproof, it stows easily and deploys with a solid lock. Handles rough chops without shifting.
• Digital Speed Control: Infinite adjustments from whisper-quiet troll to full thrust, matching your retrieve perfectly.

Delivering 105 pounds of thrust on a 60-inch shaft powered by 36 volts, it's tailored for larger boats and deeper waters where wind and current test lesser motors.

Why Tournament Pros Swear By It

In high-stakes events, every second counts. This motor's robust build withstands the rigors of back-to-back tournaments, from idling over beds to punching through current. Foot control shines here—precise enough for flip-and-pitch techniques, powerful for running spots quickly.

Remanufactured to like-new standards, it undergoes rigorous testing, ensuring you get peak performance without compromise. Many anglers prefer these units for their proven track record; they've logged thousands of hours and still hum along flawlessly.

Boost Your Setup: Pro Tips for Success

To maximize its potential:

1. Battery Management: Pair with deep-cycle marine batteries wired in series for 36V. Monitor voltage to avoid unexpected shutdowns—pro tip: add a battery meter for peace of mind.
2. Mounting Mastery: Secure to a stable bow platform. Angle the shaft slightly forward for better prop bite in waves.
3. Prop Tweaks: If you're in super-weedy areas, experiment with aftermarket props for even better clearance.
4. Stow Smart: Practice one-handed stowing for quick transitions between spots.

Users often share stories of landing personal bests thanks to its quiet operation—no cavitation noise alerting nearby fish.

Long-Term Durability and Care

Rinse with fresh water after every use to combat corrosion, especially in muddy shallows. Lubricate pivot points seasonally, and inspect cables for wear. With proper care, it delivers seasons of tournament-winning service. Remanufactured models often outlast factory-fresh ones due to upgraded components during rebuild.
