Abstract:
1. An outboard motor auxiliary motor mount bracket for securing an auxiliary motor to the existing main outboard motor of a watercraft in piggy back fashion, said auxiliary mounting bracket comprising: a) a mounting bracket; b) a pair of symmetrical main mounting arms projecting divergently from opposing sides of said mounting bracket and turning to a parallel relationship with one another spaced apart at substantially the same distance as the width of the main motor housing; c) mounting recesses disposed on the distal ends of said main mounting arms for receiving fastener elements to secure them to the housing of said main motor; d) an angled arm support extending angularly downward towards the shaft of said main motor; e) a channel bracket disposed on the distal end of said angled arm support having a plurality of mounting recesses disposed therein for receiving fastener elements for attachment to the shaft of said main motor; f) a pair of spaced apart, substantially L-shaped angle bracket stabilizer arms having a proximal end secured said channel bracket; g) an auxiliary outboard motor that is secured to said mounting bracket in the same manner as it would be installed on the transom of a boat once the auxiliary motor mount bracket is fully secured to said main motor; and h) a plurality of mounting recesses disposed at the distal ends of said angle bracket stabilizer arms for receiving fastener elements for attachment to the cavitation plate disposed on the shaft of said auxiliary motor.
