MotorGuide 8M0092063 Xi Series Quick-Release Mounting Bracket Kit for Trolling Motors — Composite — White

Needed a way to take my trolling motor off so my cover would fit, this works perfectly. It was easy to install also. Just make sure you measure and fit before you start drilling holes. Mine is a tight fit, it has a very positive set with no wobble.

I have two one for my 55lb thrust trolling motor and one for my Deckhand DH 40 which I use to pick up that 30 lb anchor, works great in the garage.

I installed my trolling motor with this because I leave my boat in the water but don't want an expensive trolling motor to be stolen. Just pull the pin and take it with me. I was able to use this for my Minn Kota motor by just drilling a few holes.

Worked well. The plate only mounted on the motor one way which positioned the block close to the edge of the bow. I would have preferred to have this block further back. Works fine and is very easy to attach and remove the motor. If I were still fishing tournaments I think I would opt for the metal version to add more assurance in rough water but recreationally I expect this to work fine. I may still add a ram to secure the end of the motor to prevent bouncing in rough water or when transporting. The mounting clip was one solid metal piece, sounds like this may have been in partially plastic in the last.

Drilled 4 holes in trammel net deck to install. All hardware was included. Minimal impact on space at bow of jon boat. Excellent product. Very pleased

This is amazing for quick removal. It does leave the small puck on the floor, but you dont have a trolling motor in your way either.

Everything looked good until I installed the bottom bracket bolts through the deck of my pontoon boat. They were too short to accommodate the plastic washer and the flat washer as per instructions. These are stainless steel hex-head bolts that are most likely pricey and difficult to find in longer versions, especially in my small town.I ended up using some larger diameter flat washers, which allowed the nut to be fully tightened, and smothering the works with 100% silicon window caulking. Not best practices, but I will inspect frequently.

This fit my Terrova Riptide perfectly. Well made, just be careful tightening the bolt opposite the tab for locking, it will pull the bolt head right through.

Surprisingly sturdy and well-made have not had a chance to install it yet
