This is a motor mount I just bought and arrived today. It will not work for me as it only goes past vertical just a few degrees. This would be perfect for those who want to get their motor out past the transom for turning ability. I needed a mount to lower the engine further into the water on my C250, something this will not do as well for me.

$195 + shipping.

This is model number 71090: H.P. Rating: Over 7 1/2 to 30 Motor Weight Not to Exceed: 169 lbs. Vertical Travel*: 9 1/2” (24cm) Mtg. Pad: Poly Mounting Board Dimensions W x H x T: 10 3/4” x 12” x 2” (27 x 30 x 5cm)

Here are the specs:

ALUMINUM AUXILIARY MOTOR BRACKET FOR 4-STROKE MOTORS

MODEL NUMBERS
71090
Raise and lower trolling and auxiliary motors on power and sailboats with ease
Built especially for new 4 Stroke, heavier, high torque motors
Extra Wide 11 1/2" (29cm) Black Poly Mounting Board for new, wider style motor locking clamps used on late model outboard motors
Accommodates long or short shaft motors
Motor Safety Cable included for added protection
With 5 vertical running position lock bar to compensate for water surface and boat load conditions – Hard coated for added resistance to wear
New, ergonomically designed twist lock safety knobs secure bracket in place
Heavy-duty stainless steel torsion springs help counterbalance motor’s weight
Easier to hold with comfortable, soft Hypalon grip handle designed to accept most style outboard motor locks
Black satin Anodized aluminum body resists corrosion – Dubbed the “Black Beauty" Outboard Motor Bracket
2" Thick, Extra Wide Black Poly Mounting Board – Weatherable and maintenance free
Aircraft Type Stainless Steel Hardware – For increased durability with nylon friction resistant washers



Condition is very very good. A few flecks of white paint on the bracket that could be cleaned off. This thing is a monster and is really built well! Actual images on my blog link below.

Thanks
Turk

I never really mounted it to the boat. After measuring it, I found out that it can only go horizontal to the water. That combined with the Catalina 250 having a "walkthru" transom, it only offers about 1 1/2 inches of drop over the current outboard mounted on the trasom. I could mount it closer to the water but it will be covered in water on some sailing point.

This is a very heavy mount and would work nicely on a C25 or for someone who wants to move the outboard further away from the transom (to allow turning ala softlink). It also would be nice if someone want to pull the outboard up out of the water.

My outboard is just too short for this to function as I wanted. I'm opting for a new outboard next year.

Last chance before I put this on Craig's list!
