Minn Kota RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket Product Description
Ultimate Heavy-Duty Mount for Maximum Thrust Motors
Engineered for the most demanding trolling motor applications, the Minn Kota RTA-62 Quick Release Bracket is specifically designed to handle the extreme forces generated by 112 lb. thrust motors with extended 72" and 87" shaft lengths. This premium bracket represents the pinnacle of trolling motor mounting technology, delivering uncompromising strength, security, and convenience for serious big-water anglers.
Built for Extreme Performance
The RTA-62 addresses the unique challenges posed by maximum thrust trolling motors and extra-long shafts. Unlike standard brackets that can fail under extreme stress, this heavy-duty mount features advanced high-yield composite construction specifically engineered to withstand the massive torque and stress generated by 112 lb. thrust motors operating in challenging conditions.
Advanced Composite Engineering
At the core of the RTA-62's superior performance is its revolutionary high-yield composite construction. This advanced material provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while being completely impervious to saltwater corrosion – a critical advantage in harsh marine environments. The composite construction eliminates the corrosion and fatigue issues common with traditional aluminum brackets.
