Minn Kota RTA-62 Electric Steer Rip Tide Quick Release Bracket Bulk Pack Product Description
Upgrade Your Trolling Motor Setup with Seamless Mobility
Imagine heading out on the water, needing to stash your bow-mount trolling motor in seconds without wrestling with bolts or cluttering your deck. The RTA-62 quick release bracket transforms that vision into reality, letting you detach and reattach your electric-steer motor effortlessly. Crafted for serious anglers chasing bigger fish in saltwater environments, this bracket handles the demands of high-thrust powerhouses, keeping your gear secure and your boat sleek.
Whether you're trailering to distant spots or simply clearing space for family outings, its innovative drop-in design ensures a low-profile fit that hugs the deck. No more exposed mounts inviting damage or theft—everything tucks away cleanly.
Engineered for Durability in Harsh Conditions
- Corrosion-Resistant Build: Marine-grade composites paired with powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel pins shrug off saltwater spray, UV rays, and constant exposure, outlasting standard brackets season after season.
- Quick-Access Locking System: A robust handle with stainless pins locks tight, and you can add your own padlock for peace of mind against opportunistic thieves.
- Optimized for Power: Perfectly suited for motors packing 112 pounds of thrust or those with extended 72-inch and 87-inch shafts, ensuring stability under heavy loads and rough waters.
- Space-Saving Profile: When removed, the top bracket stays flush, freeing up valuable deck real estate for casting, gear, or lounging.
Bulk packs make it easy to outfit multiple boats or keep spares on hand, ideal for charter captains or fishing clubs gearing up a fleet.
Seamless Fit for Your Rig
This bracket shines with RipTide series electric-steer bow-mounts, but savvy users pair it successfully with compatible higher-thrust models from leading brands. Always double-check your motor's shaft length and thrust rating to confirm a match—it's designed to handle the torque of big-game pursuits without flex or wobble.
Pro Tip: Pair it with puck-style deck mounts for the fastest swaps, turning what used to take 20 minutes into under a minute.
Effortless Setup: Step-by-Step Guidance
Installation is straightforward, even for weekend warriors. Start by securing the deck puck with marine sealant and hardware rated for your boat's material—fiberglass, aluminum, or composite. Align the puck level with the waterline for optimal motor performance.
- Mount the lower puck flush to your deck using the provided template.
- Attach the upper bracket to your trolling motor's mounting plate.
- Drop the upper into the puck, engage the handle, and lock it down.
- Test the release mechanism on dry land before launch.
Users report it takes less than an hour for the first go, and subsequent swaps feel instinctive. In bulk scenarios, standardize across vessels for uniform efficiency.
Keep It Running Like New: Simple Care Routines
Saltwater is brutal, but this bracket's materials minimize upkeep. Rinse with fresh water after every trip, especially the pins and handle. Inspect for wear annually, tightening any loose fasteners. Avoid high-pressure washes directly on seals to preserve the composite integrity. With basic care, it'll support countless adventures without fading.
