MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit

The MotorGuide Bounce Buster Kit is a useful tool designed to protect your trolling motor mount, motor, and boat from damage when navigating rough waters. It is compatible with X5 and older mounts.

This kit includes a high-impact plastic tube with a rubber foot that fits perfectly with any Gator Mount. Installation is simple as it utilizes the existing hardware of the mount. The tube can be cut to the desired length to ensure proper spacing between the mount and the front deck of your boat.

When you stow the trolling motor, the Bounce Buster pivots off the head of the mount to prevent downward momentum caused by rough water impacts. This keeps the mount and motor securely in place. In the fishing position, the Bounce Buster conveniently folds out of the way, allowing you to navigate without obstruction.

The Bounce Buster is particularly suitable for bass boat applications where the front deck of the boat is less than 12 inches away from the head of the mount. You can see this kit in action on the 2007 Triton Bassmaster Classic Bass boats.
