MotorGuide Offers New Hand-Steer MotorsMotorGuide has introduced new 24- and 36-volt hand-steer motors, packed with power and durability. The new R5 transom and X5 bow hand-steer motors feature classic twist-tiller operation and ergonomic extending handle for added control and comfort. Digital Power Management extends battery life 3-5 times longer for more time on the water and fewer battery charges.

“The new motors have the same workhorse DNA pro anglers rely on when using their foot-control counterpart,” said Kevin Read, MotorGuide's Product Manager, “only with traditional hand steer operation for saltwater open water or flats, or fishing walleye in freshwater environments.”

With the X5 and R5 hand-op motors, MotorGuide offers a product line-up that meets the needs of a variety of anglers with different skill levels and fishing purposes. MotorGuide's offering strikes a unique balance in the marketplace, providing a "sweet spot" of the right features and the right function that creates unprecedented value.
