The Quick Release Bracket MKA-42 is a convenient mounting solution designed for Minn Kota trolling motors. Its primary function is to securely attach the trolling motor to a boat while also allowing for rapid removal when needed, enabling users to easily stow the motor away or transfer it between different vessels.

Compatibility-wise, the Quick Release Bracket MKA-42 is compatible with Minn Kota's Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum, and Edge Series trolling motors. It is typically suitable for use with foot control motors with shafts up to 45 inches in length and hand control motors with shafts up to 52 inches in length.

One of the key features of this bracket is its quick-release mechanism, which facilitates the fast mounting and dismounting of the trolling motor. The durable construction of the bracket is designed to withstand the rigors of marine environments, ensuring long-lasting performance. Additionally, the bracket incorporates a secure locking mechanism to ensure that the trolling motor remains in place during use.

In terms of characteristics, the Quick Release Bracket MKA-42 boasts a sturdy and reliable construction, providing users with a dependable solution. The easy-to-use design makes the installation and removal of the trolling motor a straightforward process. The extruded aluminum design with a side screw provides a quiet and secure locking system, while the compact and low-profile nature of the bracket minimizes interference with boat operation.

When it comes to installation, it is recommended that the trolling motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as possible. The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat when stowed and deployed. It is crucial to ensure that the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond the edge of the boat, and that the area under the mounting location is flat, clear to drill holes and install nuts and washers.

In summary, the Quick Release Bracket MKA-42 is a versatile and user-friendly solution designed to enhance the convenience of using Minn Kota trolling motors. Its durable construction, compatibility with various motor models, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for boaters who value efficient storage, transportation, and deployment of their trolling motors.
