I have a Ranger 620T and wanted to hear from people who have a Terrova mounted on the bow. I have always used a Minn Kota "quick release" bracket with my bow mounts because I like to take them on and off. I have used the "quick relase" bracket that leaves the 5 inch puck on the bow. However, due to Ranger's sloping gunwale and rubber trim, I cannot mount the puck far enough back to get all four screws on the rubber pad on the bow. Is there a different "quick relase" bracket I should be looking at? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure it'll work with the bow you describe, but I typically use the MKA-16-02 (http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/accessories/quick_release_brackets/aluminum.aspx) and have been very happy with it. It's a very solid mount. I was thinking about the MKA-21, which I think is the one you are describing, for my new Warrior. I too would be interested in any feedback others can provide in terms of a comparison of the two. The MKA-16-02 actually looks considerably more stable to me. Good luck.

Albertan, I use the mka-32 bracket on my 193 warrior. Very secure set up and lockable..
I have a Ranger 1850VS. It came with a Minn-Kota 70PD on the bow. I also have a 70 Edge foot control that I wanted to be able to interchange with. I bought 2 sets of the Minn Kota puck style quick change mounts I think it's MK-23. Mounted the puck on the bow for the Edge. I had to drill some new holes in the base plate for the Powerdrive and the second quick mount bracket to fit. Works great, I can change to either trolling motor in less than 5 minutes.
