SwitchBlade Trolling Motor Mount Compatibility Guide

Find the exact quick-release bracket you need for your trolling motor. Every supported motor, every part number — all in one place.

💡
How to use this guide

The SwitchBlade fits every Sea-Doo Switch — every trim, every length, every model year, 2022 to present. That's because it clamps to the gate post, a mounting point shared across the whole Switch platform, not the rear rail. (Products that attach to the rear rail instead — like our Downrigger Mount — do have real model-year-specific fitment. See that product's page for details.) What varies here is the quick-release bracket — a small adapter that connects your specific trolling motor to the mount. Covers Minn Kota Terrova, Garmin Force Kraken, Motor Guide Xi3/Xi5, and Haswing Cayman. Find your motor below, match the bracket part number, and click any compatible row to go directly to that bracket on our product page.

Length and model year don't affect SwitchBlade fit — the gate post is identical across every Switch trim and every year. Those two variables only matter for rail-mounted accessories like the Downrigger Mount.

🎣 A Note for Switch Fish Owners

The SwitchBlade is fully compatible with the Switch Fish — but Fish owners won't need one. The Switch Fish ships from the factory with a Garmin trolling motor already integrated into the bow rail. If you want to run a different motor than the factory setup, the SwitchBlade mounts and works exactly the same way it does on every other Switch model.

🔹 Quick-Release Bracket Required — Sold Separately

A motor-specific quick-release bracket is required to install your trolling motor onto the SwitchBlade mount. This bracket is not included with your SwitchBlade purchase and must be ordered from your motor's manufacturer or an authorized reseller. Each motor uses a different bracket — use the sections below to find your correct part number before ordering.
