Minn Kota RTA-64 Quick Release Bracket

The Minn Kota RTA-64 Quick Release Bracket is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand the ability to quickly deploy or stow their electric trolling motors without tools or hassle. Whether you're fishing shallow flats, transitioning between freshwater and saltwater venues, or simply want to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency when running at speed, this quick-release system eliminates the fumbling that comes with permanent mounting. It's engineered specifically for higher thrust bow-mount and steer motors paired with longer shaft lengths—the combination that delivers maximum control in demanding conditions.

The RTA-64 uses a high-yield composite construction that combines strength with corrosion resistance—a critical advantage for saltwater operations and extended freshwater seasons. The low-profile design keeps your deck clean and unobstructed, preventing snagging on lines and tackle while maintaining a sleek profile underway. The quick-release mechanism secures firmly under load, so you won't experience vibration or play while the motor is engaged, yet disengages smoothly with a single-hand operation. At just 1 pound, the bracket adds minimal weight while supporting the substantial load of performance-grade motors rated for serious thrust.

This bracket is ideal for anglers who run multiple boats, frequently switch between motors, or need tactical flexibility on the water. Installation is straightforward on any vessel with a standard bow mounting footprint, and the composite material won't degrade from UV exposure, salt spray, or temperature swings. Compatibility with Minn Kota's higher thrust motor lineup—particularly those with extended shafts—makes this an essential upgrade for serious tournament and professional guides who refuse to compromise on accessibility or performance.
