Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket RTA-55: Robust Design for Effortless Versatility
Item # 1854055
Experience seamless transitions on and off the water with the Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket RTA-55. Engineered for strength and convenience, this bracket allows for the quick and easy removal and reinstallation of your bow-mount trolling motor, saving you time and effort. Its robust construction is specifically designed to handle the increased torque and thrust of Minn Kota's powerful QUEST series motors, ensuring a secure and stable connection during use.
The RTA-55 features a low-profile design that leaves a clean, unobtrusive puck on your boat's deck when the motor is removed. This not only maintains the aesthetic of your vessel but also minimizes tripping hazards. For added security, the bracket includes a locking handle with stainless steel pins that can be secured with a padlock (sold separately), providing peace of mind when your boat is docked or in storage.
Constructed from a high-yield composite, powder-coated and anodized aluminum, and stainless steel hardware, the RTA-55 is built to withstand the harshest freshwater and saltwater environments. This durable combination of materials ensures long-lasting performance and exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion.
