Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket RTA-89

The Minn Kota Quick Release Bracket RTA-89 lets you remove and reattach an electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motor without unbolting it from the deck. It is made for saltwater motors and built from high-yield composite that resists rust, corrosion and discoloration, and it is the replacement for the RTA-17 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, and the locking handle has stainless steel pins. The RTA-89 is listed for motors no larger than 80 lb (36.3 kg) of thrust and 65 in (165.1 cm) of shaft length, and it is compatible with most Minn Kota electric-steer bow-mount models.
