2015 Tracker TXW175 Pro Team and Quick Release TM mount

[s1911f]

Hello,

I've had my boat for 2 years and the stock 12v Edge 45lb trolling motor finally has to go. A buddy has lent me an older 24v Maxxum 65lb thrust motor that I'll use until next spring when I will upgrade to a 50" Garmin Force 24v or 45" MG Tour Pro 24v. Although the holes in my boat are standard spacing (3" x 6 1/4" x 6 1/4") they are jacked right up next to the horn/light socket so I can't just bolt this Maxxum on (or another motor in the future). I don't mind drilling more holes but I would rather only drill one new set that will cover any of those TM's listed.

With that in mind I'm looking at these two MinnKota mounts:

• MKA-42 https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoo...bracket-mka-42
• MKA-52/62 https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoo...acket-mka-5262

I've read the descriptions but I'm not 100% sure which one is right. I think the MKA-42 will do it but I could be wrong. Does anyone use either of those on your TXW175 or know which one would be correct for all of those motors?

Here's a picture of the current holes and the Maxxum base.

Just mounted a 24v 80lb Fortrex on mine with the MKA-23 quick release, works great so far.
