Installation - MINN KOTA MKA-51 Manual

The MKA-51 Quick Release Bracket is designed to be locked in
two different positions. The first position aligns the Top Plate
and Bottom Plate and locks them in place with the Cam Lever.
This position is used when the motor is operating. The second
position allows the Top Plate to be slid back or inboard 6 inches
before it is locked in place and is used during transporting. To
slide the bracket, open the Cam Lever, and then slide the Top
Plate approximately 1-1/2" sideways or Port side before then
sliding the plates lengthwise. Slide the Top Plate sideways
again to close the 1-1/2" gap and close the Cam Lever to lock
the plates together. The Top Plate can be separated from the
Bottom Plate when slid into either of the two positions while a
sideways gap is present between the plates.
The MKA-51 Quick Release Bracket is designed to work on a number of Minn Kota trolling motors. The base extrusion or
mounting bracket of the trolling motors may vary. Please note the appearance of the applicable trolling motors and mounting
bracket. For a complete list of motors compatible with the MKA-51, please refer to the website at minnkotamotors.com.
