Minn Kota MKA-60 - Bow Mount Stabilizer Kit
1862060Compatibility:
Protect Your Motor in Rough Water
When you hit heavy chop or bounce down a rough gravel road, the heavy head of your trolling motor acts like a pendulum. The Minn Kota MKA-60 Bow Mount Stabilizer Kit puts an end to violent shaft bouncing, protecting your motor's delicate steering housing and preventing the shaft from slapping against your boat's fiberglass deck.
This updated kit features a low-profile, quick-release mounting base. When it's time to put the boat cover on, simply unscrew the stabilizer arm, leaving only a tiny puck on the deck. Protect your investment by ordering from a Canadian Authorized Service Center. We ship directly out of Winnipeg, giving you duty-free, fast shipping across Canada with no surprise border delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a stabilizer for my trolling motor?
If you run your boat in rough water, cross large lakes, or trailer your boat long distances, absolutely. Without a stabilizer, the shaft aggressively bounces up and down. Over time, this extreme vibration can crack the motor's internal deploy mechanism, snap the shaft, or cause severe damage to your boat's gel coat.
What is the difference between this MKA-60 and the older MKA-55?
The MKA-60 is the direct replacement for the MKA-55. Minn Kota updated the design of the clamping mechanism to ensure it properly fits the much thicker, carbon-fiber infused shafts used on the new brushless QUEST series motors, while remaining fully backward-compatible with standard Terrovas and Ulterras.
Will the bracket get in the way when I deploy the motor?
No. The stabilizer features a pivoting arm. When you deploy your trolling motor into the water, the arm simply folds flat against your boat deck, staying completely out of the way while you fish.
