Miss Jazzy Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 Just picked one at a great price and need some advice or better yet some pics of anyone's install. It has the quick release bracket as well. Never mounted a tm before so I want to get it right the first time. I know they have to overhang the bow and can get real close to the bow cleat. Thanks for any help.
rubble Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 They send a template with packaging that can help with the base location. The install is fairly simple if you take your time and get precise with your base position. Just have to make sure the motor in deployed position clears the rubrail properly. Thru bolting on mine was tough because i have thick short arms and there isnt much room in there. Dont have to thru bolt but i wanted to make sure the base was 110% secure. Stick with the battery tendery connector. Best one out there.
Miss Jazzy Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Posted March 12, 2018 Ok I failed to mention this is a used unit so no template. With the quick release I would really need the measurements (or picks) where the puck is mounted if anyone could get those for me. It's has the battery tender plug on it already and I was planning on through bolting.
JEM Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 You can probably get a template off the Minn Kota website. Or else call the customer service people, and I'm sure they would email it to you.
don't blink Posted November 25, 2018 Report Posted November 25, 2018 You can get a Minn Kota quick release bracket on-line from the Minn Kota web site. There are two brackets, one is "beefier" to be used on 72" shafts, https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoors.com/accessories/trolling-motor/quick-release-bracket-rta-17.
