E-cowlboy Quick Release Bracket MKA-23 for Ultrex/Fortrex/Maxxum/Edge - Composite, Padlock-Ready

Lightweight composite quick-release bracket that lets you mount, lock, and remove compatible Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum or Edge trolling motors quickly and securely.

This MKA-23 Quick Release Bracket from E-cowlboy is engineered to pair with popular Minn Kota-style pucks used on Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum and Edge motors (up to 80 lb thrust and 60" shaft). Built from a high-strength composite, the bracket keeps the deck clear when the motor is removed and resists corrosion for seasons of use. Stainless steel locking pins with the option to padlock provide theft-deterrent security, while the low-profile drop-in design simplifies on-water removal and storage.

How does the MKA-23 make motor removal faster?

Its scissors-style composite construction and puck-compatible top plate let the motor drop into place and lift out in seconds, eliminating bolts and tools for routine removal. The low-profile form stays flush against the deck so it’s unobtrusive while installed.

• Tool-free drop-in engagement with deck-mounted puck
• Low-profile design keeps deck area clear when motor is removed
• Simple locking handle secures the motor during use

Is this bracket durable enough for saltwater use?

The MKA-23 uses high-yield composite materials that are highly resistant to corrosion and will not rust like metal brackets. Stainless steel pins add strength where needed; rinse after saltwater outings for best longevity.

• Corrosion-resistant composite body for long service life
• Stainless steel pins at wear points for reliable strength
• Recommended rinsing after heavy saltwater exposure

Which motors and limits is this bracket compatible with?

Designed specifically for use with Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum and Edge series motors that use the deck-mounted puck system. It is not intended for motors above 80 pounds thrust or shafts longer than 60 inches, so check your motor specs before purchasing.

• Fits Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum, Edge trolling motors using a puck
• Maximum recommended: 80 lb thrust and 60" shaft length
• Not suitable for larger or non-puck-style mounting systems

How secure is the bracket when left unattended?

The bracket locks with stainless steel pins and features a handle that accepts a padlock (sold separately) for added protection. This lets you secure the motor to the bracket and deter opportunistic theft while ashore or at the dock.

• Locking handle includes stainless steel pins for positive engagement
• Padlock-ready design increases theft deterrence
• Robust composite catches and pins resist forced tampering

Who is this for: The E-cowlboy MKA-23 Quick Release Bracket is a practical upgrade for anglers and boat owners who use Ultrex, Fortrex, Maxxum or Edge trolling motors and want fast, tool-free removal plus long-term corrosion resistance. It suits freshwater and occasional saltwater users who need a low-profile, secure mounting solution but should not be used with motors exceeding 80 lb thrust or 60" shafts.
