MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit Product Description
Every serious angler knows the frustration of battling rough waters only to hear that dreaded thud as your stowed trolling motor bounces against the deck. That's where the MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit steps in as a game-changer for your setup. Crafted specifically for X5 and older trolling motor models, this bolt-on accessory delivers rock-solid stability, safeguarding your investment from the relentless pounding of waves. Whether you're chasing bass in choppy tournament waters or navigating windy lakes, it keeps everything locked down without compromising your fishing position.
Why Anglers Rely on the Bounce Buster for Unmatched Protection
Imagine launching into a day of heavy chop, confident that your Gator Mount and motor won't take a beating. The Bounce Buster's high-impact plastic tube, paired with a rugged rubber foot, absorbs shocks that could otherwise crack housings or dent decks. It mounts effortlessly using your existing hardware—no drilling, no fuss—and customizes to your boat's deck height for a perfect fit every time.
- Eliminates Downward Slam: In stow mode, it pivots off the mount head, neutralizing momentum from impacts and keeping your gear steady.
- Seamless Fishing Mode: Folds neatly out of sight when deployed, ensuring zero interference with your casts or control.
- Versatile Fit: Tailored for bass boats where the front deck sits under 12 inches from the mount head, it's a staple on pro-level rigs.
- Built Tough in the USA: High-impact materials stand up to the demands of serious freshwater pursuits.
Simple Setup for Instant Stability
Installation is straightforward for any DIY boater. Trim the tube to match the gap between your Gator Mount head and deck, secure it with the factory bolts, and you're set. No special tools required. Once in place, it acts like an invisible shock absorber: during stow, it catches any bounce before it escalates; in use, it tucks away cleanly. Anglers report fewer vibrations, less wear on shafts, and peace of mind on those blustery days when others are white-knuckling it.
Pro tip: Pair it with your regular maintenance routine to extend the life of your entire propulsion system, especially if you're running long days in variable conditions.
Real-World Performance in Tough Conditions
Picture this: You're idling through tournament traffic on a wind-swept reservoir, waves slapping the hull. Without stabilization, that stowed motor could flex and crash repeatedly, risking cracks or misalignment. The Bounce Buster changes the equation, proven on high-performance bass boats where every ounce of reliability counts. It's not just protection—it's the edge that lets you focus on the fish, not the fight against the water.
