The Minn Kota Raptor Direct Mount Angle Bracket changes the game. Crafted specifically for direct transom installations on port or starboard sides, this 5-inch setback bracket tilts your Raptor shallow water anchor into the ideal deployment position. The result?

Its lightweight aluminum build means no added drag or strain on your transom, while the sleek black powder-coated finish shrugs off saltwater corrosion like it's nothing.

Engineered for Durability and Precision in Harsh Marine Conditions

Built from a single piece of high-grade aluminum, this bracket delivers exceptional strength without the bulk. Weighing next to nothing, it maintains your boat's balance and performance. The powder-coated surface isn't just for looks—it's a battle-tested shield against rust, UV exposure, and constant submersion, perfect for saltwater warriors or freshwater enthusiasts.

• Slotted holes for easy adjustments: Fine-tune the position to match your transom's contours and Raptor's deployment path, ensuring a flawless fit every time.
• Premium stainless steel hardware included: No hunting for compatible bolts—these marine-grade fasteners resist seizing and provide a secure, vibration-proof hold.

Backed by a limited 5-year warranty, it's a long-term investment in worry-free boating. Real-world testing shows it outperforms standard mounts in holding tests, gripping substrates like sand, mud, and weeds with unmatched tenacity.

Effortless Installation Tailored for DIY Boaters

Setting up the Raptor Direct Mount Angle Bracket is straightforward, even if you're not a pro installer. Start by selecting your transom spot—port or starboard—for balanced deployment. Clean the surface thoroughly, then align the bracket using the slotted holes for precise positioning. Secure with the provided stainless steel hardware, torque to spec (typically 10-15 ft-lbs to avoid stripping), and test the Raptor's deployment swing. Most installs take under an hour, with no special tools beyond basics like a drill and wrench.

Pro tip: Apply a marine sealant around bolt holes for extra waterproofing in high-splash zones. Once mounted, your Raptor will deploy smoother and hold firmer, transforming shallow water adventures.

Why This Bracket Elevates Your Raptor Setup

Beyond specs, this bracket shines in practical scenarios. Kayak anglers mounting on compact transoms gain critical clearance. Bass boats in tournaments benefit from the setback that prevents prop strikes during deployment. Even larger center consoles appreciate the corrosion resistance for year-round use. It's not just a mount—it's the missing link for maximizing your Raptor's potential, saving time on re-anchors and boosting confidence in spot-lock precision.
