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

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

Anglers chasing bass in shallow bays or drifting through skinny flats know the game-changer a reliable shallow water anchor brings. The Minn Kota Raptor Jack Plate Adapter Bracket for the starboard side takes that reliability up a notch by mounting seamlessly to your jack plate. This clever piece delivers a precise 5-inch setback from the transom and a 4-inch vertical rise, positioning your Raptor anchor perfectly without compromising your boat's balance or motor clearance.

Built from lightweight, single-piece aluminum, it punches above its weight in strength, shrugging off the rigors of saltwater spray or muddy river runs. The powder-coated white finish isn't just for looks—it wards off corrosion season after season, keeping your setup looking sharp and performing flawlessly.

Key Advantages for Serious Shallow Water Anglers

Why fuss with makeshift mounts when this adapter is engineered for precision? Here's what sets it apart:

• Optimal Positioning: The 5-inch setback keeps your Raptor's spike clear of the prop wash, reducing interference and ensuring rock-solid holds even in current.
• Adjustable Fit: Slotted holes let you tweak the position down to the millimeter, matching your jack plate and hull setup perfectly.
• Corrosion Fighter: Powder coating over aluminum means no rust worries, whether you're in brackish marshes or freshwater lakes.
• Ready to Install: Comes complete with stainless steel hardware that's tough enough for marine abuse.
• Peace of Mind: Backed by a limited 5-year warranty, so you can focus on the fish, not fixes.

Picture this: You're poling a skiff through mangroves, spot a school of reds, and deploy the Raptor with a whisper-quiet hold. That setback and rise make all the difference, letting the anchor bite deep without snagging your lower unit.

Seamless Integration with Your Minn Kota Raptor

Designed exclusively for Minn Kota Raptor shallow water anchors, this starboard-specific bracket bolts right onto most standard jack plates. It's a starboard-side mount (S54 designation hints at the 5-inch setback and 4-inch rise), ideal for boats where the Raptor deploys from the right rear corner. No drilling hassles—just secure it to the jack plate, align with the slotted holes, and tighten down the included stainless fasteners.

Pro tip: Before final torquing, cycle the jack plate through its range to confirm clearance. This ensures smooth deployment and stowage, every time you hit the button.

Real-World Performance in Demanding Conditions

From tournament bass pros on high-performance rigs to guides running flats boats in the keys, this adapter shines where precision matters. The extra rise lifts the Raptor above hull spray, minimizing false deployments, while the setback preserves transom space for your trolling motor or kicker. Aluminum's low weight keeps your stern light, maintaining that hole shot when you need to chase a moving bite.

Users rave about its durability—one angler shared how it held strong through a summer of weekly brackish bay battles, no pitting or looseness after months of deployment.

Care and Longevity Tips

To maximize lifespan, rinse with fresh water after saltwater trips and inspect hardware seasonally. The powder coat handles UV and chemicals from bilge cleaners, but a quick wax keeps it gleaming. Avoid overtightening fasteners to prevent stripping the aluminum threads—snug is your friend.
