Minn Kota MKR-15 Transducer Mounting Kit

Enhance Your Trolling Motor Setup with Seamless Transducer Integration

Anglers who rely on precise sonar readings know the challenge of mounting transducers without compromising boat performance or signal quality. This mounting kit solves that by securely attaching your fish finder transducer directly to the lower unit of your Minn Kota trolling motor. Whether you're running a bow-mount or transom-mount model, the rugged build withstands harsh marine conditions, from freshwater lakes to saltwater bays.

Designed for versatility, it accommodates transducers from leading brands, ensuring crystal-clear depth, structure, and fish location data right where you need it—without drilling into your hull or dealing with dangling cables. The result? Cleaner decks, better mobility, and uninterrupted focus on the water.

Universal Compatibility for Most Trolling Motors

One of the standout features is its broad fit across Minn Kota lower unit sizes: 3-1/4 inches, 3-5/8 inches, 4 inches, and 4-1/2 inches. This makes it a go-to upgrade for popular models used in bass boats, pontoons, and kayaks. It pairs effortlessly with transom transducers, keeping your setup streamlined and professional-grade.

• Works with bow-mount and transom-mount trolling motors
• Adapts to various transducer shapes and sizes from major sonar systems
• Sturdy stainless steel and composite materials resist corrosion and vibration

Pro tip: Before installing, measure your motor's lower unit diameter to confirm a perfect match, ensuring rock-solid stability even at trolling speeds.

Simple Installation for Quick On-Water Results

No need for specialized tools or marine expertise—this kit installs in under 30 minutes. Start by aligning the bracket with your motor shaft, secure with provided hardware, and route your transducer cable neatly along the shaft. The adjustable clamps provide a custom fit, minimizing turbulence and maximizing sonar accuracy.

Common setups include pairing with side-imaging or down-imaging units for spotting submerged weed lines or drop-offs. Once mounted, you'll notice improved readings in shallow water, where traditional transom mounts often struggle with air bubbles or prop wash interference.

Real-World Benefits for Serious Anglers

Imagine drifting a jig over a school of crappie with live sonar feeds unmarred by boat noise— that's the edge this kit delivers. It reduces signal loss from hull slap, provides consistent bottom tracking during turns, and frees up transom space for other gear. Over time, the durable construction saves you from frequent replacements, keeping more fish stories and fewer repair headaches.

Backed by a solid one-year warranty, it's built to handle daily abuse from tournament pros to weekend warriors.

Care and Maintenance Tips for Longevity

To keep your setup performing season after season:

1. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent buildup.
2. Inspect clamps quarterly for tightness, especially after heavy vibration.
3. Avoid over-torquing screws to prevent stripping aluminum shafts.
4. Winterize by removing the transducer and storing dry.

These steps extend life beyond the warranty, making it a smart long-term investment.
