941300010
Marine Engineering Specialist Insight: The X3-55SW Digital (MPN 941300010) is the pinnacle of 12V saltwater performance. By combining a corrosion-resistant aluminum mount with Digital Power Management, this motor is specifically built for inshore skiffs and bay boats. The extra-long 50-inch shaft ensures the propeller stays submerged in coastal swells, while the digital efficiency provides up to 5x longer battery life for long days on the flats.
Corrosion-Ready Performance & Digital Precision
The MotorGuide X3-55SW (MPN: 941300010) is engineered to withstand the harshest saltwater environments. Every component, from the aircraft-grade aluminum mount to the stainless steel hardware, is treated with a multi-layer corrosion protection process. Unlike standard motors, this Digital version utilizes a pulse modulation system that significantly reduces heat buildup and energy waste, ensuring you can stay on the water longer with a single 12V battery.
This motor features Digital Variable Speed Control, allowing you to dial in the exact trolling speed needed for technical drifts. The 50-inch composite shaft provides a lifetime warranty against breakage, designed to flex upon impact with oyster bars or submerged structure. With its quiet operation and vibration-free mounting, the X3-55SW is the ultimate stealth tool for targeting pressured inshore species.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use the X3-55SW in freshwater too?
Absolutely. Saltwater motors (MPN 941300010) are built with higher-grade materials that exceed freshwater standards. You get the same great performance with added durability for any water type.
2. What is the benefit of the 50-inch shaft on a 55lb motor?
The 50-inch shaft is crucial for bay boats or boats with higher bows. It prevents the propeller from "cavitating" or sucking in air when waves lift the bow, maintaining consistent thrust.
