Motorguide Quick Release Bracket - Aluminum Black

The Motorguide Quick Release Bracket in aluminum black is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand fast, tool-free installation and removal of their trolling motors. Whether you run a MotorGuide Xi5 or competitive electric steer motor, this bracket eliminates the frustration of permanent deck mounting while preserving precious space on tight boat decks. Designed with a low-profile footprint, it's ideal for tournament anglers, shallow-water hunters, and weekend warriors who switch motors between boats or need quick stowage without sacrificing performance or stability.

Constructed from full cast aluminum and finished in durable black, this bracket combines lightweight construction with corrosion resistance—critical for saltwater and freshwater environments. The quick-release mechanism allows secure mounting with minimal hardware, while the compact design (8 x 2 x 15 inches) keeps your bow or transom uncluttered. At just 6.5 pounds, it won't add meaningful weight to your vessel, yet provides the rigidity needed to keep your motor steady during hard turns and rough conditions. The aluminum body resists rust and oxidation far better than steel alternatives, extending service life and reducing maintenance headaches.

This bracket is a must-have for multi-boat anglers, rental operations, and anyone using auxiliary or backup trolling motors. Installation is straightforward on most hull types, though deck preparation and proper fastening are essential for safe operation. Compatibility spans MotorGuide Xi5 units and other electric steer motors with standard mounting holes—verify your motor's specifications before purchase. For bass anglers, crappie fishermen, and coastal guides who value flexibility and deck real estate, the Motorguide Quick Release Bracket delivers professional-grade convenience without the permanent commitment.
