FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this bracket?

The bracket is designed to support auxiliary outboard motors weighing up to 60 kilograms (approximately 132 lbs).

What is the maximum horsepower rating?

This bracket is suitable for auxiliary outboard motors with a maximum rating of 25 horsepower.

How is the height of the motor adjusted?

The bracket features a multi-level locking pin system. It offers 5 lock levels for motors up to 20HP and 4 lock levels for motors up to 25HP, allowing you to set the desired mounting height.

What material is the bracket made from?

The bracket is constructed from durable, marine-grade stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.

Can this bracket be used in saltwater?

Yes, the stainless steel construction makes it resistant to saltwater corrosion. However, regular rinsing with fresh water after use in saltwater is recommended to maintain its condition.

Do I need to drill holes in my transom for installation?

Yes, installation typically requires drilling holes in the transom to securely mount the bracket. Ensure you use appropriate marine-grade hardware.

What are the dimensions of the mounting board?

The mounting board has a length of 260MM and a width of 190MM.

Troubleshooting

Bracket appears loose after installation.

Re-check and tighten all transom mounting bolts. Ensure the transom material is sound and can handle the load. Use appropriate washers and locking nuts if necessary.

Adjustment mechanism is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the adjustment tracks thoroughly to remove any dirt, salt, or debris. Apply a marine-grade lubricant to the moving parts.

Motor seems too high or too low in the water.

Adjust the bracket's height using the integrated locking pin system. Consult your motor's manual for optimal operating depth if unsure.

Visible signs of corrosion on the bracket.

Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can still cause surface issues. Ensure regular rinsing with fresh water. Minor surface rust can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner and polish.
