Sea Swivel XL Trolling Motor Mount

360° Rotating Trolling Motor Mount for High-Thrust Systems

Deploy. Rotate. Stow. No tools. No hassle.

The Sea Swivel XL Trolling Motor Mount is engineered for serious anglers running high-thrust, large-frame trolling motors who need fast deployment, smooth rotation, and secure stowage — all without tools.

Unlike traditional fixed or quick-release brackets, the Sea Swivel XL adds a full 360° rotating platform that lets you swing your motor out of the way for docking, boarding, or storage — then lock it back into fishing position in seconds.

Built for bay boats, bass boats, center consoles, and offshore rigs where bow space and motor positioning matter.

Why Choose the Sea Swivel XL?

Standard trolling motor mounts are fixed — they don’t rotate, don’t swing clear, and don’t give you flexibility on the bow. The Sea Swivel XL solves this:

• Rotate your motor 360° for easy boarding and docking access
• Stow your motor to the side without removing it from the mount
• Lock into precise fishing position with a secure locking mechanism
• Reduce bow clutter and improve deck access
• Handle the weight and torque of today’s largest trolling motors

If you’ve ever struggled to get around a mounted trolling motor at the dock or on a crowded bow, the Sea Swivel XL eliminates that problem entirely.

Sea Swivel XL vs Standard Quick Release Bracket

Standard Quick Release (e.g. Minn Kota RTA-62):

• Fast motor removal from fixed position
• No rotation capability
• Best for trailer boats and theft prevention
• Motor must be fully removed to clear bow

Sea Swivel XL:

• Motor stays mounted — rotates 360° to clear bow
• No removal needed for docking or boarding
• Best for center consoles, bay boats, and marina storage
• Adds bow access without full motor removal

Many anglers use both — a Sea Swivel for rotation and a quick release bracket for theft protection and trailering.

How It Works

1. Mount the Sea Swivel XL base to your bow deck or gunwale
2. Attach your trolling motor to the swivel platform
3. Rotate motor to fishing position and lock in place
4. When docking or boarding, unlock and rotate motor clear of the bow
5. Lock into stow position for transport or storage

No tools required for rotation or repositioning.
