MKA-64 — Minn Kota quick-release plate for freshwater

The Minn Kota MKA-64 quick-release plate is designed to allow quick and easy installation and removal of your bow-mount electric trolling motor from your boat. This greatly simplifies transport, storage and securing of your motor when not in use or for maintenance.

Installing the MKA-64 plate involves two main steps:

The lower part of the plate is permanently mounted to the deck of your boat, typically at the bow, using bolts. The upper part of the plate is then attached to the mounting base of your electric trolling motor. Once both components are installed, the motor can be easily slid onto the lower plate fixed to the boat and secured with a pin or quick-lock system, allowing removal or installation in seconds.

Using a quick-release plate like the MKA-64 offers several practical benefits:

Ease of transport: The motor can be removed from the boat for easier and safer transport. Optimized storage: Allows the motor to be stored separately from the boat, protecting it from weather or impacts. Increased security: Reduces the risk of theft by allowing the motor to be removed and stored in a secure location. Simplified maintenance: Makes it easier to access the motor for cleaning, servicing, or repairs. Motor protection: Prevents unnecessary exposure of the motor to the elements when not in use.
