MotorGuide Tour Bow-Mount Trolling Motor, 36V, 109 lb Thrust, 45 in Shaft, Cable Steer, Foot Control, HD+ Universal Sonar, Freshwater

Overview

The MotorGuide 942100050 is a freshwater bow-mount trolling motor with cable steering, a 36V power requirement, and an HD+ universal sonar nose cone for fishfinder integration. It is rated for up to 109 lb of thrust and uses a 45 inch shaft, which is a common fit on bass boat bows where you want the prop to stay planted in the water as conditions change.

Cable steer control gives you direct response at the pedal. This model uses a metal foot pedal with a premium no-slip grip, and the mount includes a Zero-G lift assist system to make stowing and deploying more manageable during long days on the bow.

For sonar, the hardware is already built into the nose cone and connects using the adapter cable that matches your sonar brand. The mount also incorporates a 360 degree breakaway function, which helps when the motor takes an impact around shallow cover and structure.

Compatibility and fit

This unit is set up for freshwater use and is listed for bass boat applications. Before ordering, confirm you have a 36V battery bank and a clean mounting area on the bow where the motor can stow without interfering with an anchor locker lid, rub rail, or bow light.

Shaft length is 45 inches, so it is worth measuring from the bow mounting surface to the waterline and thinking about how you fish. Keeping the prop submerged matters most when you are working wind, boat wakes, or shallow cover where the bow is constantly rising and falling.

Installation and setup

Plan the pedal position so you can steer comfortably while still reaching the motor controls, and route the steering cables so they do not chafe on sharp edges or get pinched when the mount swings. On the electrical side, keep connections tight, protected from spray, and secured so heavy cables cannot vibrate against the deck.

If you are tying the built-in sonar into your electronics, verify the correct adapter cable for your fishfinder brand and route the sonar lead with enough slack for stow and deploy without pulling on the connector.

Use on board

This setup is a good fit for anglers who want the feel of cable steering for boat control around docks, grass lines, and timber, while keeping the transducer install clean through the integrated HD+ universal sonar nose cone. It also suits boats that see frequent bow time where quick, repeatable stow and deploy makes a noticeable difference over a season.

Maintenance and care

Keep the prop area clear of weeds and fishing line, and check the mount hardware for tightness after trailering. Even on freshwater boats, a quick rinse and wipe-down helps keep the pedal, mount pivots, and lift assist moving freely.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
