No, the outer shaft on the X5 is larger than the outer shaft on the older Motorguides. Just as a FYI, the outer shaft of the X5 / X3 is the same as that of a MinnKota, so the X5 or X3 will fit in a MinnKota mount.

Thank you sir. Is the lower unit assembly on the hand control x5 the same size as the lower unit a motorguide F82HBA?
If the F82HBA has the stainless shaft, the bunge the shaft goes into will keep it from changing out.
