New Ulterra - mount with or without quick release bracket?
 
I'm seeking some advice based on you guys' experience regarding the mounting of a new minn Kota Ulterra on a bay boat (21' Nauticstar)
I'm replacing my existing manual trolling motor that is direct mounted with a new Ulterra and am thinking of utilizing the quick release bracket I guess simply for the ability to remove the tm when I travel far (highway) and sleep over at say a motel somewhere.
My main concern is that the quick release bracket may not contribute to as solid of a mounting condition especially on a choppy water day, ... does the bracket rattle or any other such?
Any helpful experience insights are appreciated. Thanks,

I use the MK aluminum quick disconnect mount, not the one with the starboard puck, etc. I only take the TM off when I have to put the boat in the shop. I also use a brace to support the control head when traveling.

I came in hot the other day and nailed the dock. That puck absorbed most of the energy saved me a bunch of damn money on fiberglass.
