Abstract:
1. A mount for supporting an outboard motor with respect to a marine vessel, the mount comprising: an outer shell, an inner wedge disposed in the outer shell, and an elastomeric spacer between the outer shell and the inner wedge; wherein the mount axially extends between first and second ends in an axial direction; wherein the mount radially extends between an inside and an outside in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction and in a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction; wherein the inner wedge has an asymmetrical shape with respect to the vertical direction when viewed in a cross-section taken perpendicular to the axial direction; and wherein the asymmetrical shape comprises a first outer surface that extends transversely at an angle to the horizontal and vertical directions; and a second outer surface that extends transversely at a different, second angle to the horizontal and vertical directions; an inner borehole that extends through the inner wedge in the axial direction; and an elongated connector that extends through the inner borehole.
