Secure and Convenient Mounting for Your Trolling Motor

The Minn Kota RTA-17 Quick Release Bracket is designed for anglers who need a reliable, easy-to-use mounting system for their trolling motors. Crafted for saltwater applications, this bracket allows for quick removal and reattachment of electric-steer, bow-mount trolling motors, ensuring smooth transitions on and off the water. Its low-profile design keeps the deck clear when the motor is removed, providing a seamless and clutter-free boating experience.

Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Composite Construction

Built with high-yield composite material, the RTA-17 is engineered to withstand harsh marine environments. Unlike metal brackets, it resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration, ensuring long-lasting durability even in saltwater conditions.

Secure Locking Mechanism for Added Protection

The bracket features a robust locking handle with stainless steel pins, allowing users to secure the motor in place with a 1/4” short shank padlock (padlock not included). This added security feature helps deter unauthorized removal, giving boaters peace of mind.

Compatible with Multiple Riptide Models

Designed for versatility, the RTA-17 is compatible with several Minn Kota Riptide models, including:

• Riptide Ulterra
• Riptide Terrova
• Riptide ST
• Riptide PowerDrive
• Riptide SP

For motors with 112 lbs. thrust or a shaft length of 72” or longer, Minn Kota recommends the RTA-54 model instead.
