Minn Kota MKA-64 Quick Release Bracket: Effortless Motor Management for Serious Anglers
Item # 1854064
Experience unparalleled convenience and robust security with the Minn Kota MKA-64 Quick Release Bracket. Engineered for anglers who demand strength and efficiency, this bracket allows for the quick and easy removal and re-mounting of your electric-steer trolling motor, saving you valuable time on the water and providing a secure solution for storage and transport.
Constructed from a high-yield, marine-grade composite, the MKA-64 is designed to withstand the immense stress and torque generated by high-thrust trolling motors and those with longer shafts. Its durable, corrosion-resistant build ensures years of reliable performance in freshwater environments. The innovative low-profile design leaves a clean, unobtrusive footprint on your boat's deck when the motor is removed, minimizing tripping hazards and maintaining a sleek appearance.
Security is paramount, and the MKA-64 delivers with a robust locking handle featuring stainless steel pins. For added peace of mind, the handle can be secured with a padlock (sold separately), safeguarding your valuable trolling motor from theft.

- Corrosion-Resistant: Designed specifically for freshwater use, resisting rust and discoloration.
- Secure Locking System: Features a sturdy locking handle with stainless steel pins. A padlock can be added for enhanced theft deterrence.
