Anybody Switched from MKA-42 to MKA-61 Quick Detach Plate?

I currently have the standard Ultrex with the MKA-42 quick release bracket installed on the boat, but have an Ultrex Quest and the MKA-61 bracket to go with it ordered. Has anybody made this swap and if so, did you have to drill new holes for the MKA-61 plate?

The 4 bolt pattern is the same but there are 2 more holes for the Quest and you might have to make the existing holes a little bigger.

Thanks! My items should come in today. Looking forward to getting this thing installed and try it out!

I got the new quick detach mount and the trolling motor installed. It was pretty much a direct swap. The kit even came with set of the same sized bolts as well as a set of the little bit bigger bolts. Both the old and the new quick detach mount used six bolts. The only real difference I noticed on the new mount is a stop nut on the front as well as having two bolts on the side to hold the mount in place versus just one on the old MKA-42.
