MotorGuide X3 45lb Thrust Freshwater Foot-Controlled Bow-Mount Trolling Motor

The MotorGuide X3 Freshwater Foot-Controlled Bow-Mount Trolling Motor is an excellent trolling motor at an excellent value. For under $500 you can get a quality foot controlled trolling motor that can last for decades or more. 

X3 Freshwater Edition

Motorguide is excited to introduce the X3 trolling motor designed to deliver better performance and durability for anglers looking for the best value in the 40- to 70-pound thrust range. The X3 offers best-in-class steering performance. A dual cable pull-pull steering system eliminates slack, while the innovative Variable Ratio Technology reduces torque steer feedback and improves responsiveness.

Features

• Durability means reliability - rigid aircraft-grade aluminum mount, stainless steel bushings and outer shaft, and composite shaft with a lifetime guarantee
• Quiet on the water - fewer metal-to-metal interfaces, precision bearings, and new composite locking pins eliminate more noise and ensure noise-free operation over time
• Precision steering - dual cable pull-pull system eliminates slack and provides the best-in-class steering performance

The X3 mounting bracket is built tough with aircraft-grade extruded aluminium to minimize flex and provide precision control under high-thrust.

• Improved rigidity and durability
• Easier to stow and deploy
• Wider base for added stability
• Stainless steel bushings in key wear points
• Easy motor height adjustment and motor removal

Rugged Composite Shaft

The larger diameter shafts are rugged and corrosion resistant, paired with a durable stainless steel outer shaft. Special composite construction provides greater impact protection and is backed by a lifetime factory warranty.

Precision Response Steering

The X3 offers best-in-class steering performance. A dual cable pull-pull steering system eliminates slack, while the innovative Variable Ratio Technology reduces torque steer feedback and improves responsiveness. A newly designed and reinforced foot pedal also provides better feel and control.

Variable Ratio Technology

• Improves steering response
• Reduces torque steer feedback
• Dual-cable system eliminates steering slop and noise
• Precision bearings and locking collar eliminates shaft clicking

Composite Locking Pins

By improving these frequently worn parts with modern composite materials we have exponentially increased durability at the most common failure point. The pins also eliminate annoying metal-on-metal "clicking" which only adds to the already stealthy nature of the X3.
