Overview

Built for anglers who want a cleaner way to manage a bow-mounted trolling motor, this quick release bracket lets the motor be mounted or removed without added hassle. It is designed for electric steer motors featuring QUEST technology and is intended to handle the demands of high-thrust motors and long shaft lengths. The low-profile setup keeps the motor mounted to the top bracket and drops into a deck-mounted puck, while the locking handle can be secured with a padlock for added security. Suitable for freshwater or saltwater use, it is a practical fit for boats that see frequent motor removal and reinstallation.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically for electric steer motors featuring QUEST technology, so it is not a universal quick-release option for every bow-mounted trolling motor.
  • The bracket is intended for high-thrust motors and long shaft lengths, which makes it a more specialized fit than a general-purpose mounting solution.
  • A padlock can be used for additional security, but the padlock is not included.
  • The low-profile, deck-mounted design supports quick removal, but it still requires a dedicated puck and bracket setup on the boat deck.
