摘要

A device for permitting an outboard motor boat to operate in shallow water, comprises a first support for securing to a transom of a boat and extending rearwardly therefrom; a keel secured to the first support and extending downwardly therefrom and rearwardly from the transom; a vertically adjustable motor mount for supporting an outboard motor with a propeller housing having a leading surface, the motor mount for positioning the motor in a raised position to permit the boat to operate in shallow water and a lowered position in normal-depth water; and the keel includes a rear edge substantially parallel and adjacent to the leading surface of the propeller housing when the motor mount is in the raised position.
