Minn Kota MKA-50 Bow-Mount Stabilizer Kit f/Fortrex

Enhance Stability for Your Bow-Mount Trolling Motor

Picture this: you're trailering your boat home after a long day on the water, hitting those inevitable bumps in the road, and your trolling motor stays rock-solid instead of bouncing wildly. That's the game-changing advantage of the MKA-50 Bow-Mount Stabilizer Kit. Designed specifically for demanding anglers, this silver-finished accessory minimizes vibrations and movement when your motor is stowed, extending gear life and reducing wear on your boat's deck.

Whether you're battling big waves or navigating choppy inland lakes, this stabilizer ensures your setup remains secure. It's a simple yet effective upgrade that transforms how you handle your Fortrex or compatible models, making every trip smoother and more reliable.

How the MKA-50 Works Seamlessly in Any Position

The ingenuity lies in its dual-position design. When stowed, it pivots vertically to rest gently on your boat deck, thanks to a built-in rubber bumper that safeguards the finish from scratches or dents. Deploy the motor, and it effortlessly rotates horizontal alongside the bowguard, staying out of your way during active fishing.

This adaptability means no more wrestling with loose motors or worrying about saltwater corrosion—everything is built tough with premium stainless steel hardware rigorously tested for marine environments. Mount it on either the left or right side of the bowguard for the perfect fit on your vessel.

Perfect Compatibility for Top Minn Kota Models

Engineered for precision, the MKA-50 fits flawlessly with Ultrex, Fortrex, and Riptide Fortrex (SF) bow-mount trolling motors. If you've invested in one of these powerhouse units known for their torque and quiet operation, this stabilizer complements them perfectly, enhancing overall performance without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.

Anglers praise how it quiets down road noise during transport and prevents accidental deployment jostles, keeping your focus on the fish rather than your gear.

Built to Last with Angler-Tested Durability

Crafted for real-world abuse, the kit features corrosion-resistant materials that stand up to harsh saltwater spray and freshwater splashes alike. The thoughtful rubber padding not only protects your deck but also absorbs shocks, reducing stress on mounting points over thousands of hours of use.

Backed by a solid one-year warranty, it's a low-maintenance addition that pays dividends in reliability. Pro tip: Pair it with regular motor maintenance for a setup that performs like new season after season.

Easy Installation for Quick Upgrades

Getting this stabilizer up and running takes minimal tools and time—typically under 30 minutes for most setups. Secure it to your bowguard with the included hardware, adjust for your deck height, and you're set. No drilling required on most boats, and the pivoting mechanism self-aligns for hassle-free operation.

Even if you're new to boat mods, the straightforward design makes it approachable, letting you hit the water confidently right away.
