Quick Release Brackets allow you to easily remove your trolling motor from the boat deck for storage, transport, or security. Because mounting patterns and motor sizes vary by model, not all brackets are compatible with every trolling motor.
- Quick Release Brackets make it easier to remove your trolling motor for storage, security, or trailering.
- Reinforcement kits are recommended or required on select high-thrust motors to help distribute mounting loads on the boat deck.
- If a bracket is not listed as compatible, do not attempt installation, as fitment and mounting integrity cannot be guaranteed.
- If you are unsure which motor you have, locate the model and item number on the serial number label and match it to the compatibility charts below.
Use the charts below to determine which Composite Quick Release Bracket, Aluminum Quick Release Bracket, and Reinforcement Kit are compatible with your Minn Kota trolling motor.
Important: Always verify your trolling motor model and item number before ordering a quick release bracket. Some larger motors require a reinforcement kit or specific aluminum mounting bracket due to increased thrust and shaft length.
