Thank You
Thank you for choosing MotorGuide
with a motor designed to deliver Digital Variable Speed Control and maximum time on the water.
The Tour Series was designed with quality and durability in mind. The all‑metal construction provides years of reliability
with un‑matched control and feel. The stainless‑steel cables and pulleys allow you to concentrate less on boat control and
more on fishing. Couple these mechanics with MotorGuide Digital electronics, and you have one of the most popular trolling
motors in the fishing world.
Through the alliance between MotorGuide and Lowrance, we have co‑developed one of the quietest, most accurate
transducer integrated trolling motors ever built. The 200/83 kHz transducer provides an accurate sonar plot and a
responsive temperature reading. This combination is sure to improve your fishing, season after season.
Remember to keep your receipt and immediately register your trolling motor. A warranty card is enclosed or you can
complete registration on the internet at www.motorguide.com.
At MotorGuide, we believe there are some things you should Never Stop doing.
NEVER STOP LEARNING, NEVER STOP IMPROVING,
AND NEVER, EVER STOP FISHING.
