Outer Plate (Top): Heavy-duty aluminum plate that attaches to the base of the trolling motor.
Inner Plate (Bottom): Low-profile aluminum base plate that mounts directly to the boat deck.
Locking Cam-Lever: A stainless steel handle used to lock/unlock the plates together.
Locking Pin: A heavy-duty pin (can be replaced with a padlock for security).
Hardware Kit: All necessary stainless steel bolts, washers, and Nylock nuts for installation.
Mounting Templates: Paper guides for precise hole drilling.
The MKA-51 is a "universal" large-frame bracket, but it is primarily built for the following Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth models:
| Motor Series | Thrust Levels |
| Ulterra / Riptide Ulterra | All Models |
| Terrova / Riptide Terrova | All Models |
| PowerDrive / Riptide PowerDrive | All Models |
| Pontoon Edge | All Models |
Note: This bracket is not compatible with Ultrex or QUEST series motors, which typically require the MKA-56 or MKA-57.
Construction: Made of high-grade, powder-coated aluminum to prevent rust and corrosion in both fresh and saltwater.
Security: The locking handle features a hole for a standard padlock, preventing the motor from being easily stolen while the boat is docked or stored.
Stability: The cam-lever design creates a "compression fit" that eliminates the "clanking" or wobbling often found in plastic quick-release brackets.
