MotorGuide X3 Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Foot Control Bow Mount - 55lbs-36"-12V - *Remanufactured Product Description
Experience the perfect blend of power, precision, and quiet operation with this remanufactured MotorGuide X3 trolling motor. Tailored for freshwater anglers who demand reliable performance without breaking the bank, this 55lb thrust, 36-inch shaft model with foot control bow mount runs smoothly on 12V power. Refurbished to like-new standards, it delivers exceptional value for serious fishing enthusiasts chasing bass, walleye, or panfish across lakes and rivers.
Engineered for Unmatched Durability on the Water
Crafted with a rigid aircraft-grade aluminum mount, this trolling motor stands up to the rigors of daily use. Stainless steel bushings and an outer shaft resist corrosion, while the composite shaft—backed by a lifetime warranty—absorbs impacts from logs, rocks, or accidental bumps. Anglers love how it holds steady even in choppy conditions, minimizing flex for consistent control during long days on the water.
Stealthy and Responsive Steering That Feels Intuitive
Say goodbye to sloppy steering with the dual-cable pull-pull system that eliminates backlash and delivers pinpoint accuracy. Variable Ratio Technology smartly adjusts steering effort, cutting down on torque steer so you maintain full focus on spotting fish. The reinforced foot pedal offers a natural feel, making micro-adjustments effortless whether you're drifting through weed beds or holding position over a structure.
Key Steering Advantages
- Zero slack for immediate response
- Reduced feedback during high-thrust maneuvers
- Precision bearings prevent clicking noises
- Composite locking pins boost longevity and silence
Quiet Operation for Trophy-Winning Stealth
In the world of finesse fishing, silence is golden. This motor minimizes metal-on-metal contact, using advanced composites and bushings to run whisper-quiet. Spook fewer fish as you ease into prime spots at dawn or dusk, where every sound counts. Paired with a powerful dual-blade propeller, it slices through light vegetation while maintaining thrust for steady boat control.
User-Friendly Design for Easy Handling
The wide-base mount enhances stability and makes stowing or deploying a breeze—no heavy lifting required. Quick height adjustments and simple motor removal let you customize setup for your boat or trailer effortlessly. Ideal for kayak anglers, bass boats, or pontoons, it adapts to various freshwater setups without fuss.
Real-World Performance Tips from Seasoned Anglers
Pair this motor with a dedicated 12V deep-cycle battery for optimal runtime, and you'll cover 10+ hours of trolling on a single charge. In tournaments, its responsiveness shines for spot-on-the-water pattern fishing, while casual outings benefit from the low-maintenance shaft that shrugs off freshwater exposure. Regularly rinse after salty dips (though freshwater-optimized) to keep it humming season after season.
Why Remanufactured Means Smarter Savings
Going remanufactured doesn't mean compromising quality—it's thoroughly inspected, rebuilt with premium parts, and tested rigorously. You get premium features at a fraction of the cost, with the same robust performance trusted by pros. Perfect for upgrading your rig or outfitting a second boat without the new-unit premium.
