Product Description
Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket MKA-56 (Item # 1854056)
Effortless removal and secure mounting for your high-performance Minn Kota trolling motor.
The Minn Kota MKA-56 Quick Release Bracket is a heavy-duty, state-of-the-art mounting solution engineered specifically for the powerful and heavier Minn Kota trolling motors featuring QUEST technology. This bracket allows for the quick and easy removal of your electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motor from your boat's deck, providing convenience for storage, security, and trailering.
Constructed from a high-yield composite material, the MKA-56 is exceptionally strong and impervious to corrosion, ensuring durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Its low-profile design leaves a clean, unobstructed deck when the motor is removed. For added security, the locking handle features stainless steel pins and can be secured with a padlock (not included) to deter theft.
The two-piece design consists of a puck that mounts to the boat deck and a bracket that attaches to the trolling motor. This system allows the motor to be easily dropped in and secured, or quickly removed without the hassle of tools.
Key Features:
- Rapid Removal: Enables quick mounting and dismounting of the trolling motor without the need for tools.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-yield composite, marine-grade anodized aluminum, and stainless steel components to resist rust, corrosion, and discoloration.
- Low-Profile Design: Keeps the deck clear and free of snags when the motor is not in use.
