Minn Kota MKA-32 Quick Release Bracket: Secure Your Trolling Motor with Ease
Item # 1854060
The Minn Kota MKA-32 Quick Release Bracket is a robust and convenient mounting solution designed for anglers who demand efficiency and security. This bracket allows for the quick and easy removal and reattachment of your bow-mount trolling motor, saving you valuable time on the water and providing a secure storage option.
Constructed from durable, high-strength composite, the MKA-32 is built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment. Its low-profile design ensures a minimal footprint on your boat's deck, maintaining a clean and uncluttered space when the motor is removed.

The innovative cam-lock mechanism is a key feature of the MKA-32, providing a quiet and secure connection that eliminates rattling and movement. This ensures a stable platform for your trolling motor, even in rough water conditions. For added security, the bracket can be locked with a padlock (not included), giving you peace of mind when your boat is unattended.

Substitute and Alternative Part Numbers:
While the MKA-32 is a premier choice for the models listed above, Minn Kota offers other quick-release brackets that may be suitable depending on your specific needs and preferences. These are considered alternatives with different features, not direct like-for-like substitutes.
-
MKA-21 (Item # 1854021): A popular composite quick-release bracket. It is a suitable alternative but is not recommended for motors with over 80 lbs of thrust or shaft lengths of 72 inches or longer.
-
MKA-16-03 (Item # 1854035): An aluminum bracket that utilizes a side-screw locking mechanism. This model is a direct replacement for the older MKA-16-02 and offers a different locking style compared to the cam-lock of the MKA-32.
It is always recommended to verify compatibility with your specific trolling motor model and consider factors such as motor thrust and shaft length before selecting a quick-release bracket.
