This Patent Pending mount is CNC Machined from 1.0″ thick 6061-T6 aluminium.  Additionally, it is Type III Hard Coat Anodized per MIL-A-8625 and comes with a lifetime warranty*.  This model rotates fully with 4 locking positions at 0, 30, 60 and 90 degrees to allow you to pivot or swivel the motor into position. Fully compatible with your Minn Kota, Garmin, Rhodan, Power-Pole, Motorguide or any other trolling motor with up to 120 inch shaft length. If you want to use your standard quick release mount such as RTA-17, MKA-21, RTA-54, RTA-62, MKA-64, RTA-55, MKA-56, or Garmin versions, we have those hole patterns included already so you are all set!  Quest series motors require QST-1 expander plate so please add that to your cart when ordering for those motors.  With a built in, simple to use detent mechanism, simply pull the large pin and rotate the motor so the shaft clears the rub rail.  Easy!   The SS-9.5R is the most robust rotating mounting system available today.

Why choose SS-9.5R over the SS-7.5R? 

• You want to reduce the amount of pressure on your deck (clear deck space required for a 9.5″ diameter circle)

Why choose a rotating mount?

• You have limited space to attach a trolling motor
• You want the trolling motor to sit off to the side and sit along the gunwale
• You want a clear view of the bow without the trolling motor obstructing your field of view
• ALL SS-9.5R  mounts require 6 holes in your deck for proper attachment with first bolt within approximately 13 inches from edge of rub rail
• Uses all 3/8″ 316 Stainless hardware
• Optional Backing plate BKP-9.5R recommended if your have concerns about your deck
