Protect Your Motor, Launch with Confidence
Clearance issues at the boat launch are a thing of the past. The premium Minn Kota MKA-51 Quick Release Bracket features a unique top-plate design that allows you to easily slide your entire trolling motor inboard by 6 inches. This creates crucial clearance to prevent your expensive motor from hitting the trailer roller during launching and makes putting on a tight-fitting boat cover a breeze.
When the season is over or you need maximum security at a hotel, the rugged cam-lock design lets you remove the motor from the deck completely. Built from corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum, this bracket eliminates the annoying rattling and deck movement associated with cheaper mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose the MKA-51 over the cheaper MKA-21 composite bracket?
The MKA-51 offers two massive advantages over the MKA-21. First, it is made of heavy-duty extruded aluminum, meaning it handles the high thrust and torque of 80lb and 112lb motors with zero flex or rattling. Second, it has the unique 6-inch "slide inboard" feature, allowing you to pull the motor back for trailering and boat covers without removing the heavy motor entirely from the deck.
Does this bracket lock my motor to the boat?
The bracket includes a stainless steel locking pin to hold the motor securely in place while running. For theft prevention, the aluminum plates feature a built-in slot where you can insert your own padlock, making it virtually impossible to remove the motor without the key.
Will this fit the new QUEST series motors?
Yes, the MKA-51 is compatible with the base hole patterns of the newer Terrova QUEST and Ulterra QUEST models, making it an excellent, rigid mounting choice for those high-torque brushless motors.
