MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit

The MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit is engineered to protect your trolling motor, mount, and hull from impact damage when operating in rough water or choppy conditions. Anyone who spends serious time on the water knows that wave action and sudden boat movement can transfer significant shock to a bow-mounted trolling motor, potentially bending brackets, cracking mounts, or damaging the motor itself. This kit solves that problem with a simple, effective damping solution designed specifically for MotorGuide X5 and older mounting systems.

The system features a high-impact plastic tube paired with a durable rubber foot that absorbs and dissipates kinetic energy before it transfers to your boat structure or motor assembly. The rubber component acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the inevitable contact between motor and hull during rough seas, while the rigid plastic tube maintains structural integrity and alignment. Weighing just 0.6 lbs and measuring 8 x 2 x 10 inches, the kit installs cleanly without adding significant bulk or weight to your setup, making it ideal for both aluminum and fiberglass boats.

This kit is essential for anglers running older MotorGuide X5 trolling motors or earlier generations on any vessel that regularly encounters wind-driven waves, shallow rocky bottoms, or tight docking scenarios. Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to your boat or motor. If you're tired of hearing metal-on-fiberglass clunks every time you hit a swell, or concerned about long-term wear on your trolling motor mount, the MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit delivers proven protection at minimal cost.
