Selling used products as new.

Seems like an awesome product. Though fundamentally there should be some money back on this. You sell a new product, yet the package has tape on it because it has been opened as well as it has been previously installed or used with the rings and gouges. I know the trolling motor will be on top of it but I purchased a new product not used. Buy from another company who sells this product.

Pros
  • Absolutely great for Motor Guide Xi3 or Xi5. Easier to install than motor by itself.
Cons
  • Package was damaged on arrival and no hardware was with the item.

Makes it easy to remove motor.

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.

Pros
  • Product as described with no issues
Cons
  • May not hold up in extreme weather conditions

As advertised. Excellent product

I'm not sure what "stretch" has to do with this item? I modified this bracket to accommodate a set of LED lights used for bully netting and flounder gigging

Pros
  • EZ install
Cons
  • May not be sturdy enough to support heavier motors

Great product. - my new review

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

Pros
  • A quality item. Easy to install. Taking the trolling motor off and on the boat is a breeze.
Cons
  • May require professional installation for safety reasons

Trolling Motor mount.

Being able to take my trolling motor on and off in seconds is a great feature. I would give 5 stars if I could actually use the lock hole, but it sits too low to get a lock in there.

Pros
  • Great product, mounted my Xi5 perfectly to my boat.
Cons
  • May not hold up in rough waters

works as advertised

Bought to be able to mount my motor on a cabinet (storage) when not in use so it was not in the door way of my pontoon boat. It holds it in place towing the boat 75 mph and while pulling tubers on the boat. screws the motor down and has a lock hole to keep it from backing out. Is the same mount I use on the boat while using the motor.

Pros
  • Works good, fairly easy to install...gives you a little extra lift to keep it from bumping obstacles.
Cons
  • May be difficult to adjust on the water

for the iX3 and iX5

This is used for the iX3 and iX5 Motorguide bow trolling motors. Easy install and lockable. Great product that does its job. Looks great with a nice finish.

Pros
  • Product is well made and works as advertised.
Cons
  • May require frequent adjustments

Didn’t fit in my review

It didn’t fit our boat and by the time we had the time to put it on our deadline to return it had passed. That’s on us. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • 👍🏻
Cons
  • May not offer as many mounting options as other bracket kits

Fits Minn Kota Terrova

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.

Pros
  • Works great, thanks
Cons
  • May not be the best choice for serious anglers or tournament fishing

read before you buy

This bracket is junk, the nuts and bolts they give you to mount it are the worst I have ever seen in my life and I am a professional mechanic by trade. They have it drilled so you have a very small head and washer which will pull right through the plastic mount if you try to tighten down very much at all. This must be why they have a more expensive aluminum mount.I advise paying more for the aluminum mount and just throw the cheap bolts they give you in the trash and plan on spending about 20…

Pros
  • Great fit on my 54/54 Watersnake. Love that I can take the trolling motor off the boat when not is use.
Cons
  • May require frequent readjustment to keep the motor level

Crappy materials.: my feedback

The bolts lock when you put them together so screw them in one time is all you get they somehow seize themselves. The mount itself, when I put the screws onto it, the went through the mount holes and now don't fit. Over priced crappy plastic that you better get right the first time cause you'll be cutting the screws out if not.

Pros
  • Well pleased many choices for screw placement and seems solid locking
Cons
  • The product shows signs of shock. I am not happy. That is unacceptable

Very stable for recreational fishing.

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…

Pros
  • Very secure and solid!
Cons
  • May slide off the transom if not secured tightly

Works for Minn Kota Terrova!

This product is the same bolt pattern as a Minn Kota and works fine for a Minn Kota Terrova. I saved about $40 over the Minn Kota version!

Pros
  • Easy to remove motor. Very solid construction...
Cons
  • Not compatible with all trolling motors

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very strong best in my review

Nice platform foe trolling motor should have more mounting holes for different mounting options had to modify for my Xi5

Pros
  • Great bracket with clear instructions
Cons
  • May not come with all necessary hardware

Super part at super price

The Revain price on this item was lower than I could find anywhere else. This is a beautifully-finished quick release bracket. Very heavy duty!

Pros
  • Just as advertised
Cons
  • May not offer sufficient support for larger motors

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to use.: my feedback

Quick release bracket made it a lot simpler for us to locate our trolling motor. We have 2, one on front of boat & one on side just short off center, because sometimes we drift sideways.

Pros
  • Most solid bracket I've ever used for a bow mount motor.
Cons
  • May cause damage to the boat if not installed properly

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Product missing the lock pin.

Incomplete product, parts were not in the bubble wrap. Looks like someone took the part that they needed and sent this one incomplete.

Pros
  • Arrived when expected, installed easily on a Motorguide Xi5 trolling motor, and works as expected.
Cons
  • May not be universally compatible with all boats

great idea good for me

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.

Pros
  • Cost, delivery, follow up great. Worked well with our Motorguide i3.
Cons
  • May be prone to wobbling or movement while trolling

Embarrassing poor lock set up system that needs to be fixed

After spending this much money on a quick disconnect for my xi5 I was dumbfounded over how pathetically small a padlock hole the designer went with. Completely ridiculous that it's expected to use a junk luggage lock to protect a 1500 dollar troller !

Pros
  • Good product easy to connect and disconnect my MotorGuide trolling motor
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove from the boat

The item was a must for my installation. I would recommend the unit as it very well built me complements my Xi5 perfectly.

Pros
  • Very nice product in very nice service
Cons
  • Could be easily stolen due to its lightweight design
