Installing an MKA-56/RTA-55 Inner Plate to the Reinforcement Plate
At this point in the installation, the Outer Plate should be attached to the trolling motor. For instructions on installing the Outer Plate,
refer to the manual that was included with the Quick Release Bracket. Review the mounting considerations for the MKA-56/RTA-55.
This installation requires the use of hardware included with the MKA-56 (1854056) or RTA-55 (1854055) Quick Release
NOTICE:
Bracket. The Inner Plate (Part #2371695/#2371696), Stiffener Plate (Part #2371686/#2371687), Handle Assembly (Part #2770916),
and Hair Clip Pin (Part #2260800) will be needed.

a. Take the Inner Plate Assembly of the MKA-56/
RTA-55. The Stiffener Plate (Part #2371686/
#2371687) is flush with the Inner Plate (Part
#2371695/#2371696) and may not be immediately
noticeable when removing the Quick Release
Bracket from the box. The top surface of the Inner
Plate is recessed to accommodate the placement of
the Stiffener Plate. This surface should face up.
b. Take the Stiffener Plate and place it into the recessed
surface of the Inner Plate. The Stiffener Plate should
be set on the Inner Plate so the recessed holes for
the Flat Head Screws are facing upwards.
c. Take note of the position of the Inner Plate Assembly
in relation to the Reinforcement Plate to ensure
proper mounting.
CAUTION
Failure to follow proper product installation may lead to
injury from product failure. To avoid injury from a damaged
product, ensure that the Stiffener Plate is present on the
Inner Plate before installing mounting hardware. Do not
install the Inner Plate without the Stiffener Plate.

d. When mounting the Inner Plate to the MKA-58
Reinforcement Plate, there are two possible
installation positions. The Inner Plate can be
installed so that the Quick Release Bracket is square
with the Reinforcement Plate, or the Inner Plate
can be installed 1" further outboard to provide
additional motor clearance.
e. Once a position for the Inner Plate has been decided,
set it on the Reinforcement Plate. Align the mounting
holes in the Inner Plate Assembly with the threaded
holes in the center of the Reinforcement Plate.
