X5 80 SW
The new MotorGuide X5 Saltwater is an impressive workhorse. This is a solid choice for anglers who seek precision steering control for navigating close to shore and moving around tricky obstacles. This motor also sets a new standard for quiet operation due to its use of composite material in the bushings and stow and deploy mechanisms.Ā
No other MotorGuide has a similar reputation for holding up to the elements and performing exceptionally on the open water. Corrosion, big waves, heat and long days are all expected, and Great White motors are designed to hold up to and excel in these conditions. Standard features include high-thrust motors for easy maneuvering, anodized aluminum mounts to prevent corrosion, a completely sealed digital module and an exceptionally efficient digital motor to provide all-day power
Variable speed motors available in 80 and 105lb thrust. See below for additional product details.Ā

Recommended for:
Medium to large saltwater bay, flats and deep-V fishing boats up to 23'. The 80 lbs thrust motor is recommended for boats weighing up to 4000lbs. For more help picking the right thrust level - or to learn how much your boat weighs - please refer to our thrust guide.
How It's Unique:
The X5 series is a step-up in performance from the X3. The X5 is available with thrust options of 80 and 105 lbs.
If you're looking for value-priced control, we recommend the MotorGuide X3 series.Ā

Mounting Details:
This motor is bolted directly to the bow of the boat using the included mounting hardware, and requires drilling into the boat for installation.

Motor Run Time:
Important Note: As you likely won't be running your trolling motor perpetually, the actual amount of on-the-water time a motor should allow will be substantially longer than times listed. Actual motor run time can vary depending on conditions (winds, waves, etc) and the type of battery used. Listed below are run-time estimates assuming a 100 amp hour rated battery. To learn more, please see our article on calculating motor run time.
