This Quick Release Bracket is engineered for fast, easy removal and reattachment of your bow-mount electric-steer trolling motor. It is a bulk pack version of the MKA-16-03 bracket, designated with part number 1854036, and is designed to work with Minn Kota Ulterra, Terrova, PowerDrive, PowerDrive V2, PowerDrive Pontoon, and Deckhand 40 motors in freshwater. It serves as a replacement solution when the original mounting system needs upgrading or you require quick docking functionality.
The brackets are constructed from solid, extruded aluminum with an anodized finish that resists corrosion. The locking mechanism uses a side-screw design locking the motor to a top plate that slides into a deck-mounted bottom plate, secured with a tightening screw. Mounting hardware is included, and there are upper and lower plates outfitted with slots for a padlock (not included) for added security.
Real-world benefits include enhanced operational convenience—remove your motor in seconds without tools—quieter performance due to tight tolerances and cam-lock style design eliminating movement noise, and improved durability thanks to anodized aluminum. This bracket is ideal for freshwater boaters needing secure, strong, and reliable hardware for Ulterra, Terrova, and PowerDrive series.
