Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the MKA-61 and MKA-62?
The MKA-62 is specifically designed for longer shaft motors. It handles foot control motors from 52"-72" shaft length and 62" hand control motors, while the MKA-61 is for shorter shafts (up to 45" foot control, 52" hand control).
Can this bracket handle the torque of high-thrust QUEST series motors?
Absolutely. The MKA-62 is specifically engineered and recommended for the higher thrust associated with Ultrex™ QUEST™ series motors, including the increased leverage forces of extended shaft lengths.
How does the quiet locking system work?
The extruded aluminum design features a side-screw locking mechanism that eliminates vibration-induced noise. This provides a secure, quiet connection between the motor and boat deck during operation.
Is professional installation required?
While the bracket includes comprehensive mounting hardware, professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and warranty compliance, especially given the forces involved with extended shaft motors.
What security features are included?
The bracket features integrated provisions for padlock attachment, allowing you to secure your valuable extended shaft trolling motor when the boat is unattended. Padlock sold separately.
