Removable Outboard Motor Bracket

PLEASE NOTE, WE CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE THE ZERO DEGREE MOTOR BRACKET 2/24/2023

Dimensions:

The plate is 1/8" thick stainless steel - 6" x 7-1/2". The mounting legs are from 1/2" dia SS rod. The bracket sits an average of 6-1/2" from the transom (not including the wood pad that you will add). The gudgeons are formed from 1" x 0.090" SS strap and are about 2-1/2" long with 1/4" mounting holes.

6 Horsepower Max rating.

There are two versions of this mount. Our 15° mount (currently out of stock) is for vertical transoms, common on production sailboats. This mount gives a 15° angle which is correct for outboard motors. The other is a 0° mount for transoms which are already angled 15° and does not alter that angle.

More on Race-Lite Removable Outboard Motor Brackets: A customer wrote and wanted to convert a 24 ft. sailboat into a motor cruiser but needed to mount the outboard in the middle of the transom rather than off to one side. Further, he wanted to be able to remove the motor and hang the rudder so he could go sailiing occasionally. That reminded me of a removeable stainless steel motor mount that we had seen at Race-Lite on a recent visit there. This is an OEM part that they had made for a customer and we had not carried them because they are not finished. By that I mean this mount needs a wood pad to be bolted to the 1/8" thick plate that is welded to the 1/2" diameter rods. But that should be easy for any DIY'er.
