MotorGuide Universal Quick Release Mounting Bracket

The MotorGuide Universal Quick Release Mounting Bracket is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand speed and reliability when deploying or stowing a trolling motor. Whether you're fishing multiple locations in a single day or need to secure your motor during travel, this bracket eliminates fumbling with tools and tedious fastening systems. The quick-release design lets you transition from powered trolling to drifting or poling in seconds—critical when weather changes or fish move shallow.

Built on MotorGuide's proven cam lock engineering, the Universal Quick Release Mounting Bracket accommodates cable-steer and electric-steer motors with equal ease. The cam mechanism provides positive, tool-free engagement and release without sacrificing structural rigidity—the 9.9-pound bracket is engineered to handle the lateral forces and vibration inherent to bow-mounted trolling motors. Its compact footprint (9 x 2 x 22 inches) fits standard gunwale and deck mounting points found on most modern fishing boats, while the rugged construction ensures years of saltwater and freshwater service.

This bracket is ideal for tournament anglers, multi-species hunters, and boaters who own multiple motors or frequently upgrade equipment. The universal design accepts most MotorGuide motors—both thrust classes and control types—making it a smart investment if you plan to swap units or invest in backup power. Installation is straightforward on most boats; confirm your mounting surface and motor footprint before purchase to ensure compatibility with your specific vessel and trolling motor model.
