Patent ID: 7335073

Claim:
An outboard motor support mount capable of securing a motor from the transom of a boat of the type having hydraulic trim cylinders located on the transom with cylindrical output shafts extending therefrom, comprising: a junction bar having inner and outer opposed planar sides which, in use, lie in planes generally parallel with an exterior plane of the boat transom; a pair of cylindrical support arms arranged in spaced parallel fashion to extend outwardly from the inner planar side of the junction bar, each of the support arms having an open interior sized to closely receive a respective one of the hydraulic trim cylinder's output shafts to thereby securely mount the support mount on the boat transom; and a brace arm extending from the outer planar surface of the junction bar generally perpendicular to the plane thereof, the brace arm terminating in a brace block configured to engage a mating surface on the outboard motor for supporting the motor in a selected angular position with respect to the transom for transport operations.
