Frequently Asked Questions
How does the stabilizer protect my trolling motor?
The MKA-60 absorbs vibrations and prevents motor bounce in the stowed position, which significantly reduces stress on the motor shaft, bearings, and internal components, extending motor life and preventing costly repairs.

Yes! The MKA-60 is compatible with a wide range of Minn Kota motors including QUEST series, Terrova, PowerDrive, and Riptide models. The adjustable strap system accommodates all shaft sizes.

No. The pivoting arm folds down when not in use, and the entire stabilizer can be easily removed when you need full motor mobility, leaving only a low-profile base mount.
