Yes I got quick release bracket and I would say it is a must on the auto deploy trolling motor’s. To keep your motor from hanging on the roller on front of trailer, it sticks out a little more. Oh the Helix7 is not compatible with the transducer in trolling motor. Not even sonar will work right.
Also the trolling motor worked great the 1st time I used it the second time the remote went bad would not deploy. I didn’t get the foot paddle in right mode to work but I know now. Printed out the book read it 3 times.I guide on the Coosa River on 3 lakes so it will get a work out this year! Crappie stripe and spotted bass on live bait.Thanks Jerry

Did u get the quick release mounting plate on yours? And it want stay in place with out the lock or a clip on it.

I have the new 36 volt 112 lb thrust Motor Minn kota Ulterra the 2nd time on the lake it will not deploy with remote or foot control. Is anyone else having problems with this.I am a guide and can’t use something not dependable head back to Alabama trolling motor in the morning to see what’s going on!!
