An outboard motor lift is characterized by a lift assembly fitted to the transom of a boat and including parallel upper and lower links joining a bracket system attached to the boat transom with a motor mount bracket carrying an outboard motor, such that the outboard motor can move freely vertically up and down with respect to the transom responsive to contacting an underwater obstacle. Under circumstances where the outboard motor is heavy a spring system may be added to the lift assembly to offset the motor weight and facilitate vertical movement of the outboard motor by operation of the parallel links with minimal force when the outboard motor contacts the underwater obstacle. A handle coupled to another set of parallel links and a lift mechanism facilitate vertical adjustment and support of the lift assembly links and the outboard motor at selected operating positions. Since the outboard motor is positioned in spaced-apart relationship with respect to the transom, a throttle extension may be provided for comfortably operating the motor throttle when the lift assembly is in functional configuration.
