MotorGuide X3 Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Foot Control Bow Mount - 55lbs-45"-12V

The MotorGuide X3 940200090 is a freshwater bow mount trolling motor built for anglers who want quiet, hands-free boat control while working structure. It runs on a single 12V battery, delivers 55 pounds of thrust, and uses a cable-steer foot pedal so you can adjust speed and heading without putting down a rod. The 45-inch shaft keeps the prop submerged in chop and on taller-bow boats. For anglers fishing weed lines, points, and creek channels, this motor holds position and lets you make repeated casts to the same target without spooking fish.

The X3 uses MotorGuide's cable-steer system, which links the foot pedal directly to the lower unit for immediate, mechanical response. That direct connection means no lag between pedal input and prop direction, which matters when you're tracking a fish along a drop. The 55-pound thrust rating pairs with a 12V power system, keeping wiring and battery requirements straightforward compared to 24V setups. The 45-inch shaft length suits boats with a moderate bow height and keeps the prop deep enough to avoid cavitation when waves pick up. The bow mount design positions the motor forward, pulling the boat through turns rather than pushing it, which gives tighter control around cover and docks.

Reach for the X3 when you fish lakes, rivers, and reservoirs and want to keep both hands free for casting and fighting fish. Foot control suits anglers who run open bow decks and want to steer by feel while watching the water. Match it with a dedicated deep-cycle 12V battery and confirm your mount fits the bow deck before install. We carry a full range of trolling motors, plus trolling motor accessories and rod holders to round out the bow of your fishing rig.
