MotorGuide X5-105SW Salt Water Digital Hand Control Bow Mount Trolling Motor - 105lbs-60"-36V Product Description

Imagine gliding silently across saltwater flats, pinpointing your next catch with effortless precision. The MotorGuide X5-105SW sets a new standard for hand-controlled bow mount trolling motors, blending cutting-edge digital tech with battle-tested durability. Designed for serious anglers chasing trophy fish in harsh marine environments, this 105-pound thrust powerhouse on a 60-inch shaft runs cool and efficient at 36 volts, keeping you on the water longer without the constant worry of draining batteries.

Engineered for Unmatched Precision and Reliability

What sets this trolling motor apart is its fusion of pro-level features tailored for saltwater punishment. The composite shaft flexes under impact but snaps back, while dual cable steering delivers responsive handling that feels like an extension of your arm. Paired with the aggressive 3-blade Machete propeller, it slices through choppy waves and holds position in currents, giving you the edge in competitive fishing scenarios.

Digital Variable Speed Control

Gone are the clunky on/off switches of old. This motor's digital controls offer seamless speed adjustments, from whisper-quiet stalking to full power for repositioning. It's not just about convenience—it's about maintaining stealth to avoid spooking skittish species like redfish or tarpon.

  • Quiet Operation: Precision bearings silence shaft noise, letting you focus on the hunt.
  • LED Directional Indicator: Quick-glance heading awareness keeps you oriented even in low light.
  • Secure Mount Door: One-handed access for stowing, built to withstand deck pounding.

Revolutionary Digital Power Management

Battery life is the silent killer on long fishing days. This motor's digital brains recapture wasted energy, boosting efficiency by 50% and stretching run times up to five times longer than traditional setups. Cooler electronics mean less heat buildup, reducing wear in salty, humid conditions. Anglers report all-day performance on a single charge, freeing you from mid-trip battery swaps and letting you chase bites from dawn to dusk.

Built to Conquer Saltwater Abuse

Saltwater is brutal—corrosion, impacts, and constant flexing test every component. The X5-105SW laughs it off with an oversized stainless steel outer column shrugging off rust, backed by a composite inner shaft with a lifetime break guarantee. The mount? Extruded aircraft-grade aluminum forms a rock-solid base, complete with a wide stance and snap-back breakaway that absorbs collisions without permanent damage. Composite bushings at stress points keep vibrations minimal and longevity maxed.

Real-world result: Tournament pros trust it for season after punishing season, from inshore bays to offshore wrecks.

Elevate Your Angling Game

Whether you're sight-fishing permit in the Keys or drifting live bait for snook, this motor's stability shines. The rigid bracket minimizes flex, holding your bow steady for accurate casts. In wind or tide, digital power ensures consistent thrust without surging. It's the quiet companion that amplifies your skills, turning good days into legendary ones.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance

  • Rinse thoroughly after every saltwater outing to extend component life.
  • Pair with deep-cycle batteries matched to 36V for optimal efficiency.
  • Use the quick-view LED in fog or dawn patrols for safer navigation.
