The Minn Kota RTA-17 lets you quickly detach and reattach an electric-steer bow-mount trolling motor without tools or hassle. Built from high-yield composite material, the bracket resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration while keeping a low profile so your deck stays clear when the motor is off. A locking handle with stainless steel pins adds security, and the bracket accepts a padlock for an extra layer of protection. Note: Not for use with 112 lb. thrust motors or motors with a shaft length of 72" or longer — use the RTA-54 for those applications.
