Quick release means the motor comes off just as fast when you are done. The adapter ships with set screws in place, which locks the motor straight ahead. Pull the set screws and you get 270 degrees of rotational trim for steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardware is marine-grade stainless for lakes, rivers and salt water. Some Power Pole ready kayaks need a mounting plate from the kayak manufacturer first.
