Overview

The MotorGuide 941900030 is a freshwater bow-mount trolling motor that runs on 36V and delivers 109 lb of thrust with a 45 inch shaft, combining cable-steer control with Pinpoint GPS.

Steer from the foot pedal when you need immediate bow response, then use GPS functions like Anchor, Jog, Heading Lock, and Cruise Control to hold on a waypoint or stay lined up while you fish.

The mount uses a 360-degree breakaway design for unexpected stumps and rocks, and the lift-assist stow and deploy system helps when you are moving the motor in and out of the water all day.

Compatibility and fit

Plan on a dedicated 36V battery bank and marine wiring sized for the motor's current draw. The 45 inch shaft length is a common fit for many bass boats and similar hulls, but the right choice comes down to bow height and the chop you fish in so the prop stays submerged when the bow lifts.

This part number is the Pinpoint GPS version without integrated HD+ universal sonar. If you want sonar running through the shaft, that feature is offered on other Tour Pro configurations.

Installation and setup

Mount the base on a flat section of the bow where the motor can stow fully without contacting rails, lights, or the rub strip, and where the cable routing stays clear of hatches and lockers. Leave room to operate the latch and swing the shaft through its full range without binding.

Pinpoint GPS works best with a clear view of the sky. After installation, take time to complete the initial setup steps for the GPS functions so Anchor and Jog behave predictably when wind or current pushes the boat.

Use cases on board

This setup suits anglers who want the feel of cable steer for casting control, plus GPS holding and heading control for working a point, dock line, or offshore structure without constantly correcting the bow.

Maintenance and care

Keep the mount pivots and latches clean, clear weeds and fishing line from the prop, and check steering cable tension as part of routine upkeep. Even on freshwater boats, a quick rinse after a muddy day helps the pedal and mount keep moving smoothly.
