Introducing the all-new X5 Trolling Motor with VRS Technology
PRO ANGLERS LIKE KEVIN VANDAM rely on MotorGuide for innovation that puts
them in the winner’s circle. The new X5 bow mount, cable steer motor – the
latest in our growing lineup of X series motors – is our most advanced,
tournament-caliber motor. It’s engineered to deliver best in class performance
for precise control, quiet operation, and rugged durability.
Serious anglers will be impressed with the X5’s solid construction and patented
Variable Ratio Steering (VRS) technology. This innovation allows anglers to make
subtle and precise steering adjustments, and it virtually eliminates torque
steering feedback that can compromise boat stability and control, and you can
only get it from MotorGuide.
The X5 comes in four power ranges and three shaft lengths, so there’s a model
that’s ready to put you in the winner’s circle.
Key advantage
Variable Ratio Steering Technology and Boat Control
Revolutionary Steering and Boat Control with VRS
Variable Ratio Steering (VRS) technology is
designed to give you maximum control.
The difference is a unique elliptical cam that delivers two distinct types
of steering actions, which is determined by the direction of the motor.
For example, when the boat is moving forward (in the Primary Angling Zone)
the steering is deliberate, and enables precise and subtle adjustments. This
exceptional maneuverability is ideal for fishing those hiding spots, and
working brush and other cover. However, when you need to make a quick turn
to avoid obstacles in the water, the motor will respond by turning much
faster.
VRS technology also virtually eliminates the effects of torque steering
feedback, so anglers benefit from a more predictable steering response,
improved boat stability, and better overall control.
Want to experience VRS? Try our all-new X5
Trolling Motor, available only from MotorGuide.
Turn Speed
| The motor direction determines steering “ratio” and response. In the
primary angling zone, a higher ratio provides deliberate and precise
steering. As the motor moves toward 90 degrees, a lower ratio delivers
higher speed steering. |
|
|
The elliptical cam causes the turn speed to increase at a variable
rate even if the foot pedal pressure is applied uniformly. Turn speed is
slow in front of the boat and faster when making evasive left or right
turns. |

Variable Ratio Steering (VRS) technology is designed to provide maximum
control. It virtually eliminates the effects of torque steering feedback, so
anglers benefit from a more predictable steering response, improved boat
stability, and better overall control.
Digital Power Management
Digital Power Management extends battery life up to five times. Digital
technology features durable cooler-running power electronics that are 50% more
efficient. They also capture and store energy that is typically lost as heat.
This improved efficiency means longer run time and fewer battery charges.
All New Mount
The X5 mounting bracket is built tough with extruded aircraft-grade aluminum.
The wide mount is stable and features a snap-back breakaway mechanism for added
protection. And durable, tight fitting composite bushings in key wear points
ensure quiet performance and long life.
Tournament Tough Shaft
The new oversized stainless steel outer column is strong and
corrosion-resistant. For additional impact protection, the inner column is made
of a premium composite.
• Lifetime guarantee against breaking
• Precision bearings and locking collar eliminate shaft clicking
Precision Response Steering
A newly designed no-flex composite foot pedal provides better feel and
control. The X5 is Equipped with premium pull-pull cable steering system that
eliminates slack, while VRS technology improves responsiveness.
