Parts Desk Insights
- QUEST electric steer motors only: The MKA-57 is compatible with Minn Kota electric steer motors featuring QUEST technology. Confirm your motor model before ordering — this bracket is not universal across all Minn Kota bow-mount motors. Manual steer and non-QUEST motors use different mounting hardware.
- 10" inboard slide: The inboard slide is useful for reducing bow profile when running at speed or in tight quarters. Confirm the slide range works with your bow layout and that the motor clears any bow rails, cleats, or anchor hardware when slid inboard.
- Quick-release for security: The quick-release feature allows the motor to be removed and locked below deck or in a cabin when the boat is left unattended. If security is a priority, confirm the bracket’s locking mechanism suits your needs before ordering.
- Weight consideration: At over 10 kg, this is a substantial bracket. Confirm your bow deck structure can support the combined weight of the bracket and motor, particularly on lighter aluminum or fiberglass hulls.
- Not sure if the MKA-57 fits your motor? Call the parts desk with your Minn Kota motor model and year and we’ll confirm compatibility and any additional hardware required.
