Commonly asked questions

Question: What are the differences in all the different series of mounts? There are many options.

Ans: Currently all of the mounts are constructed the same with some slight differences. Under the products page you will see a series of collections. These collections are organized to select a product based on the diameter or style of clamping shaft it is intended to be used on.

1375 series mounts cover a clamping range of 1-1/8" (1.125") T0 1-3/8" (1.375") pole diameter/shaft size. The Dominator mounts inside this series is compatible with most trolling motors including the Minn Kota Ultrex(original), Fortrex, Garmin Force, Lowrance Ghost, Motorguide Tour, and Power Pole Move. They will as well clamp on stand alone pole systems that fit inside this range. They are not compatible with the Minn Kota Quest, Powerdrive, Ulterra, Terrova, or Motorguide XI models. Basic zero degree mounts will not work on trolling motors.

1500 series mounts are specifically designed to clamp on stand-alone pole systems that have a pole diameter of 1-1/2" (1.500"). Common systems include Fishing Specialties and Traxtech systems.

Quest Series mounts are specific only to the Minn Kota Ultrex Quest trolling motor and will not fit any other.

Question: What is a quick release model?

Ans: The quick release models allow for the removal of the transducer from the mount itself. They are great for portable builds, moving the transducer to multiple mounting locations, cover issues, heavy grass fishing, theft, or any other reason to remove the transducer from its docking point. They are a straight tongue and groove connection with a stainless-steel wire over pin for quick removal. The "quick release" term has no bearing on the function of the mount.

Question: I see two different quick release Dominator models... so what is the difference?

Ans: The difference is whether or not we include an F.O. Link spacer block offset adapter. Products with a -TM- or a -QSTLNK- in the product sku will include this spacer. This spacer is not needed on stand alone pole system.

Question: What is an F.O. link spacer block?

Ans: An F.O. link spacer block is used to offset your mount or transducer further from center-line. A "zero" degree mount will align your transducer completely vertical. This will result in the beam spreading evenly to both sides of the transducer. When a "zero degree" mount is installed, the higher up you install your transducer the further from center it will need to be to avoid interference from the motor foot. (this pertains to forward and down mode only)

Question: Do I need a quick release model that includes the F.O link spacer block?

Ans: This depends on how high you intend on running the transducer in forward/down mode above the top of the motor foot. Here is the general guide-line for quick release models.

If the transducer is positioned inside of 8" above the top of the motor foot while being utilized in forward/down mode, no spacer is required. Any distance above this requires the use of an F.O. link spacer block that will increase the transducer posiion to 12" above the top of the motor foot.

Question: I don't need a quick release model so what is the difference between the two standard models?

Question: What is an F.O. link spacer block?

Question: Do I need a standard model that includes the F.O link spacer block?

Ans: Typically yes, but this depends on how high you intend on running the transducer in forward/down mode above the top of the motor foot. Here is the general guide-line for standard models.

If the transducer is positioned inside of 4" above the top of the motor foot while being utilized in forward/down mode, no spacer is required. Any distance above this requires the use of an F.O. link spacer block that will increase the transducer posiion to 8" above the top of the motor foot.
