The Minn Kota MKA-56 is a quick-release mounting bracket engineered specifically for electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motors built on QUEST technology. High-yield marine-grade composite, powder-coated and anodized aluminum, and stainless steel hardware work together to resist rust, corrosion, and discoloration — even in saltwater environments. A low-profile puck-and-top-bracket system keeps the deck clear once the motor is removed, while a stainless-steel-pin locking handle accepts a padlock for added security when you need it. Padlock sold separately.
