Item # 1854035
Experience a new level of convenience and peace of mind with the Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket MKA-16-03. This robust and intelligently designed bracket allows for the swift and simple removal and reattachment of your bow-mount trolling motor, making storage, transport, and security easier than ever.
Crafted from high-strength, anodized aluminum, the MKA-16-03 is built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant mounting solution. Its low-profile design ensures a minimal footprint on your boat's deck, maintaining a clean and uncluttered space when the motor is detached.

A single, easy-to-use stainless steel locking pin ensures your motor is held firmly and quietly in place, eliminating rattle and vibration for a more enjoyable time on the water. For an added layer of protection, the bracket is also padlock-compatible (padlock not included).
