I purchased a minn kota terrova 80lb with a 6o inch shaft. Looking for any info on what is a good quality quick release for this motor or which ones to stay away from. It is going on a ranger 690vs.

Thank you.

The standard minnkota ones that slide on and off have always treated me well.

I don't have one, but I know somebody with a Minn Kota quick release bracket on their boat, and it seems to work pretty nice.

I put one on the boat last year when I got my new powerdrive. I've got the bracket (attached to the trolling motor) that slides in and out of the other bracket on the boat. I really like the ability to take the trolling motor off so easily, but so can other people. With that being said I keep a padlock on it at all times.

i opted for the aluminum slide bracket mka-16-02 for 60'' terrova it works great very sturdy...the composite one looked cheep and it was 39.00 more
