Minn Kota 6" Raptor Jack Plate Adapter - Starboard - Black

Enhance Your Shallow Water Anchoring with the Starboard Jack Plate Adapter

Picture this: you're navigating skinny waters, chasing bass or reds, and need a reliable anchor that deploys quickly without snagging props or hulls. The Minn Kota Raptor Jack Plate Adapter for the starboard side steps in as your go-to solution. Crafted specifically for Raptor shallow water anchors, this adapter bolts right onto your jack plate, lifting your anchor 6 inches higher while pushing it back 2 inches. This smart positioning keeps everything clear of your outboard and optimizes deployment for those tight spots where every inch counts.

Anglers swear by this setup because it transforms how you handle anchoring in shallow bays, flats, or rivers. No more guesswork—get precise control that matches the boat's movement, holding steady against wind or current without drifting.

Built Tough for Real-World Fishing Demands

At its core, this adapter boasts a single-piece aluminum design that's featherlight yet incredibly strong, shrugging off the rigors of saltwater spray and freshwater splashes alike. The black powder-coated finish isn't just for looks; it seals out corrosion, ensuring longevity even after seasons of heavy use. Slotted mounting holes make fine-tuning your position a breeze, so you can dial in the perfect fit for your jack plate setup.

Every kit comes complete with stainless steel hardware, ready to install without hunting for extra parts. It's all about reliability—Minn Kota backs it with a solid 5-year warranty, giving you peace of mind on the water.

Why This Adapter Makes Anchoring Effortless

Beyond the specs, here's where it shines for everyday boaters:

• Superior Clearance: The 6-inch rise elevates your Raptor anchor, preventing interference with your lower unit during deployment or trailering.
• Optimized Setback: That 2-inch rearward shift improves leverage, making spike deployment smoother and more secure in varied bottoms.
• Versatile for Starboard Mounting: Perfect for dual-motor setups or single-engine boats where starboard access rules.
• Quick Adjustments: Slotted holes let you tweak alignment without disassembly, saving time at the ramp.

Fishermen report fewer re-anchors and better hold in choppy conditions, turning frustrating drifts into locked-in spots for casting.

Seamless Installation for Any Skill Level

Setting this up is straightforward—no specialized tools required. Start by aligning it with your jack plate's starboard mounting points. Secure with the included stainless hardware, using the slots to ensure level positioning. Test the Raptor's deployment to confirm smooth operation. Most installs wrap up in under an hour, getting you back to fishing faster. Pro tip: Double-check torque specs on fasteners to handle vibration from rough runs.

Long-Term Care for Peak Performance

To keep it performing like new, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip. Inspect hardware seasonally for wear, and touch up any scratches in the powder coat to maintain that corrosion barrier. Stored properly during off-seasons, it'll be ready when the bite heats up.
