Minn Kota Raptor Jack Plate Adapter Bracket - 4" S54 Black

Enhance Your Minn Kota Raptor Setup with the Starboard Jack Plate Adapter

Boaters chasing fish in shallow waters know the value of a reliable shallow water anchor like the Minn Kota Raptor. But getting the perfect positioning can make all the difference. That's where this jack plate adapter bracket shines. Designed specifically for the starboard side, it mounts seamlessly to your jack plate, delivering a precise 5-inch setback from the transom and a 4-inch vertical rise. This adjustment optimizes the Raptor's deployment angle, keeping it clear of your prop and hull while improving holding power in tricky spots.

Crafted from lightweight, single-piece aluminum, this bracket offers unmatched strength without adding unnecessary weight to your rig. The sleek black powder-coated finish stands up to harsh marine environments, from saltwater spray to freshwater muck, ensuring long-term durability.

Key Advantages for Serious Anglers

• Precision Positioning: The 5-inch setback and 4-inch rise provide the ideal offset, preventing interference with your outboard or jack plate hydraulics during anchor deployment and stowage.
• Easy Adjustments: Slotted mounting holes let you fine-tune the position for your boat's unique setup, ensuring a custom fit every time.
• Corrosion-Resistant Build: Powder-coated aluminum paired with included stainless steel hardware laughs off rust and wear, even in brutal conditions.
• Effortless Installation: Bolts directly to standard jack plates—no modifications needed. Most users report completing the setup in under an hour.
• Peace of Mind: Backed by a robust warranty, giving you confidence on every trip.

Whether you're running a bass boat, bay vessel, or flats skiff, this adapter transforms your Raptor's performance, letting you anchor silently and precisely where the fish are biting.

Why This Bracket Outperforms Standard Mounts

Traditional transom mounts can limit your motor trim and expose the anchor to prop strikes. By elevating and setting back the Raptor, this starboard-side bracket frees up space, enhances shallow-water access, and reduces vibration for quieter operation. Anglers report better GPS spot-lock integration and fewer redeployments in current-heavy areas. It's a small upgrade with big rewards for tournament pros and weekend warriors alike.

Simple Installation Steps

1. Position the bracket on your jack plate's starboard side, aligning with existing holes.
2. Secure using the provided stainless steel hardware—torque to manufacturer specs for safety.
3. Attach your Minn Kota Raptor to the bracket's mounting points.
4. Test deployment at the dock: adjust slots as needed for smooth action.
5. Hit the water and enjoy the improved reach.

Pro tip: Pair with a jack plate that matches your hull design for maximum lift and stability.

Caring for Your Adapter Bracket

To keep it performing like new, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing. Inspect hardware seasonally and reapply a corrosion inhibitor if needed. The powder coat handles most abuse, but avoiding abrasive cleaners preserves the finish.
