Hi Cam, I don't have a MK nor a Quinny but here r some picks of the Mounting Bracket I had fabricated for my curved bow. Some guys r not fans of the straight line configuration claiming it detracts from deck space but it don't bother me one bit.

Hope it helps, Pete.

Cam , I have a 4.2 Quinny Dory and mounted a leccy on the front. Make sure it has a 54 inch shaft. I also had a plate welded to front so it sat better( see pics)

John at JD Marine Clevelend 0412 195 454 did a great job at the right price

Cameron, I have a quinny 395 explorer with a bow mount 55lb minn kota. The boat did not come standard with mounting bracket so the dealer suggested direct mounting a puc on the bow. Just involves a small amount of reo material under the bow plate where you fix the puc. I have a quick release setup so very easy to put on and off and all seems to be working well. If you are interested let me know and I will take some pics when back home on weekend. Cheers Brett.
