Transom extension mounting assembly for outboard motors

摘要

A mounting assembly for an outboard motor includes a motor mount having a transom mounting bracket attachable to a boat transom and a motor supporting bracket spaced aft of and pivotally connected by upper and lower links with the transom mounting bracket to support an outboard motor wholly aft of the boat transom, and cylinder means for moving the motor supporting bracket relative to the transom mounting bracket to simultaneously move the outboard motor between raised and lowered positions in a vertical plane which extends parallel to the longitudinal dimension of a boat and to rotate the motor about a horizontal axis which extends perpendicular to the vertical plane. The movement of the outboard motor is provided by the motor mount being a quadrilateral structure wherein the lower link is shorter in length than the upper link and the motor supporting bracket is shorter in length than the transom mounting bracket.
