Overview
Built for anglers who want a cleaner, more practical setup on the water and during storage, this quick-release bracket lets a trolling motor slide 10 inches inboard for added clearance at launch and a better fit under a boat cover. It is designed for electric steer motors featuring QUEST technology, with construction and hardware intended to handle the added stress of high-thrust motors and long shaft lengths. The dual Cam-lock design is meant to reduce movement and noise, while the quick-remove design makes attaching and detaching the motor faster at the deck. It also includes stainless steel mounting hardware, a lanyard, and a locking pin, with padlock slots on the upper and lower plates for added security.

- Designed specifically for electric steer motors featuring QUEST technology, so compatibility is limited to that setup.
- The bracket adds a 10" inboard slide, which improves clearance and storage fit but also changes the motor’s mounted position on the deck.
- A padlock can be used for added security, but the padlock itself is not included.
- The quick-release design makes removal and reattachment faster, but it is an added mounting component rather than a direct-deck installation.
