Product Description
Minn Kota RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket: Effortless Security for High-Power Trolling Motors
Item # 1854062
Experience the convenience of quickly and easily removing your high-performance, electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motor with the Minn Kota RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket. Engineered for strength and durability, this bracket is the ideal solution for boaters who need to remove their motor for storage, transport, or security.
The RTA-62 is constructed from a high-yield composite material, making it exceptionally strong and completely impervious to corrosion. Its robust design is specifically intended to handle the increased stress and torque associated with higher thrust motors and longer shaft lengths, ensuring a secure and stable mount even in rough water conditions. The low-profile design leaves a clean, unobstructed deck when the motor is removed.
For added peace of mind, the bracket features a locking handle with stainless steel pins that can be secured with a padlock (not included), deterring theft and ensuring your valuable motor remains safe. The composite and stainless steel construction makes this bracket suitable for both freshwater and saltwater applications.
Key Features:
- Quick and Easy Motor Removal: Allows for simple and fast removal and reattachment of your bow-mount trolling motor without the need for tools.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a high-yield composite, powder-coated aluminum, and stainless steel to withstand the rigors of high-thrust motors and harsh marine environments.
- Low-Profile Design: When the motor is detached, the bracket's minimal footprint keeps the deck clear of obstructions.
- Corrosion-Resistant: Ideal for both saltwater and freshwater use, resisting rust and corrosion.
- Secure Locking System: Features a locking handle that can be secured with a padlock for an extra layer of theft protection.
