Overview
Built for anglers who want a cleaner, more flexible bow setup, this quick-release bracket lets you mount or remove an electric-steer trolling motor with minimal hassle. Its low-profile design helps keep the deck open when the motor is off the boat, which is useful when space matters during transport or while working the bow. The bracket is made with marine-grade composite, powder-coated and anodized aluminum, and stainless steel, and it is designed for freshwater or saltwater use. A locking handle can also be secured with a padlock for added security, though the padlock is not included.
