Extreme Max Deck Mount Trolling Motor Bracket, Long style, Aluminum Arm with Nylon Mounting Block, fits up to 36 lb Thrust

The Extreme Max 3005.4266 Deck Mount Trolling Motor Bracket is a long, deck-mounted support that secures a trolling motor up to 36 lbs thrust and provides up to 90° of adjustable swivel.

This bracket gives you a stable, lightweight way to position your trolling motor on a boat, kayak, or paddleboard so you can place the prop where it performs best. Built with an aluminum arm and a durable nylon mounting block, the assembly balances strength and corrosion resistance while remaining easy to operate. The long model lets you mount the motor further forward for improved leverage and clearer prop placement.

How does this bracket improve trolling motor placement?

The bracket lets you choose the exact deck location for the trolling motor, avoiding interference from hull features and optimizing water flow to the prop. The extended arm provides extra reach, and the swiveling mounting block lets you set angle and trim before locking it in. Because the motor can be positioned away from the transom, you get cleaner thrust and better maneuverability in tight spots.

• Long aluminum arm increases forward reach for clearer prop immersion
• Mounting block rotates up to 90° for trimming and stowing
• Secure lock points maintain chosen angle under load
• Compatible with small craft hulls: boats, kayaks, and paddleboards

What materials and hardware are used, and how durable is it?

The bracket combines a lightweight aluminum arm with a high-strength nylon mounting block to balance strength and corrosion resistance. Fasteners are included so you won’t have to source bolts or screws separately, and the design tolerates repeated angle adjustments without excessive wear. Routine inspection and proper marine-grade fasteners during installation will extend service life in salt or fresh water.

• Aluminum arm: lightweight, rust-resistant support
• Nylon block: impact-tolerant swivel and mounting surface
• Full mounting hardware included for immediate installation
• Requires drilled mounting holes—use marine sealant for longevity

Which motors and installations is this bracket suitable for?

This bracket is designed specifically for electric trolling motors up to 36 pounds of thrust and is not engineered for outboard engines. It is intended to be used with the trolling motor installed while underway, but the trolling motor should be removed before powering an outboard or other main propulsion. Installation requires drilling into the deck, so confirm material thickness and backing support before mounting.

• Rated for trolling motors up to 36 lbs thrust only
• Not for outboard motor use—remove trolling motor before engaging outboard
• Drilled installation: check deck backing and thickness first
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward setup

How easy is installation and daily use?

Installation is straightforward for a DIYer comfortable with measuring and drilling; the bracket arrives with the bolts and fittings you need. Once mounted, the nylon block allows simple angle adjustment and a reliable lock so you can fine-tune trim or stow the motor quickly. Follow installation guidance and seal drilled holes to prevent water intrusion.

• All mounting hardware included—no extra parts required
• Simple angle locking mechanism for quick trim adjustments
• Drilling required—use marine sealant to protect deck penetrations
• Removable motor recommended before using main outboard power

Who is this for: The Extreme Max 3005.4266 long deck mount is aimed at anglers and recreational boaters who need a durable, lightweight bracket to place a small electric trolling motor in the optimal deck position. It suits owners of aluminum boats, shallow-water skiffs, kayaks, and paddleboards who want precise prop placement and easy angle adjustment for improved control and quieter operation on calm waters.
