Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket MKA-87

The Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket MKA-87 lets you remove and reattach an electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motor without unbolting it from the deck. It is built from high-yield composite for corrosion resistance, with a low-profile design for deck clearance, and it is the replacement for the MKA-21 bracket.

The trolling motor attaches to the top bracket, which drops in over a deck-mounted puck, and the locking handle can be secured with a padlock (sold separately). Stainless steel mounting hardware and a locking pin are included. The MKA-87 is listed for motors no larger than 80 lb (36.3 kg) of thrust and 60 in (152.4 cm) of shaft length, and it is compatible with most Minn Kota electric-steer bow-mount models.

Can this be used on a kayak?

Hi, can this be used on a kayak?

Eco Fishing Shop

Hi there, Yes, the Minn Kota MKA-21 quick release bracket can be used on a kayak, but only if the kayak has a solid, flat mounting area or a proper motor mount. It’s designed for bow-mount motors like Terrova, so most kayaks will need a backing plate or reinforcement to handle the stress. It works best on motor-ready fishing kayaks, but it’s not ideal for thinner hulls unless you’re willing to do some custom mounting.
