Seacraft06 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have a MinnKota RTA-19 quick release mount on the boat now. I have a Riptide 80lb 60" 24v on it now. I am looking to go to an I pilot version. I am looking at the Riptide ST 80lb 60" 24v. Will I be able to use this same mount, just change out the motor? Also is the the same power plug? Not sure if the style is different. Bascially wondering if it's a quick change out with, plug and play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 The plug depends on the mfg, of the plug itself, the new motor will come with a bare cord end. As far as the quick release plates they aren't compatible. The iPilot bracket is much smaller. Someone may have done it but I couldn't figure out a way, to do it right anyway. Not sure where you are located but I had Bob at Inshore Marine Specialties fill in all the old holes and mount the new bracket, looks better than new.

mulligan Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I doubt it will be plug and play but... Depending on where your puck is now you MIGHT be able to make a new female side to use with your old puck. I just switched trolling motors and was able to use the same puck. I just switched brands so it is not apples to apples as your situation due to the overhang of the ipilot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
