ShuttleSlide SS-12-UHD

Ultra Heavy Duty 12 inch Retractable Quick Release Trolling Motor Mount

CNC Machined from 0.25″ and 0.50″ thick 6061-T6 plate this linear mounting system with comes with a lifetime warranty*. This model retracts 12 inches and is designed to provide a retractable mount base and bracket for your Minn Kota, Motorguide, Rhodan, Garmin, Power Pole, Lowrance/Simrad or any other trolling motor as well as many standard quick release mounts such as RTA-17, MKA-21, RTA-54, RTA-62, MKA-64**. With a built in simple to use quick release mechanism, simply remove the thumb screw and slide the motor off the end of the rail. Easy! Our system is the only one available that AUTOMATICALLY retracts and can adjust the amount of force needed to move the carriage along the rail in a linear or non-linear fashion. Along with the completely hands free integrated brake system that prevents the motor from moving unless you want it to, there is simply no better mounting system available today.

Why choose SS-12-UHD?

• NOT FOR USE WITH QUEST OR INSTINCT MOTORS (See EXD series instead)
• Fully supports motor shaft lengths up to 65 Inches! (Quest / Instinct owners or your shaft is longer than 65? EXD series supports up to 100″)
• Extra retractable range to clear deck hatches, lights, cleats or just have the motor even further inside the boat.
• Standard SS-X-UHD features that are also automatically included
  
  • Provides enough retraction to bring motors fully inside the rub rail.
    
    • Though uncommon, if you need more than 12 inches we have a longer version available with the SS-15-UHD
  • Handles gaps and small spans if your deck is uneven or has a slope or angled section that extends down to the rub rail that prevents positioning mounts close enough to the waterline to allow clearance of the trolling motor shaft.
  • You have a heavy motor with a shaft length up to 65 inches and/or in combination with thrust over 80lbs capability.
  • Your motor has a large skeg and you want to ensure it is fully inside the rub rail when retracted.
  • UHD mounts between 12 and 17 inch models require using the 6 countersunk holes in the base of the mount at minimum for proper attachment

Like the sound of “NO NEW HOLES IN YOUR BOAT?”

We also offer optional adapters like the BMA-12 and DPA-1 that will prevent you from having to drill additional holes in your boat if you have already previously used other mounts or attached your motor directly to your deck.
