Outboard motor mounting arrangement
TLDR
In this article, a marine propulsion installation consisting of a transom bracket having a mounting portion fixed to the rear of a boat transom below the upper edge thereof, and a pair of laterally spaced arms extending upwardly from the mounting portion and including respective upper ends located rearwardly of the transom, was described.Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion installation comprising a marine propulsion device including a transom bracket having a mounting portion fixed to the rear of a boat transom below the upper edge thereof, and a pair of laterally spaced arms extending upwardly from the mounting portion and including respective upper ends located rearwardly of the boat transom and above the upper edge thereof, a swivel bracket comprising a mounting portion and a pair of laterally spaced arms extending upwardly from the swivel bracket mounting portion and including respective upper ends, a tilt pin connecting the upper ends of the transom bracket and swivel bracket arms to provide for pivotal movement of the swivel bracket relative to the transom bracket about a tilt axis which is horizontally located rearwardly of the transom and above the upper edge thereof, a propulsion unit including an internal combustion engine and a propeller mounted for rotation and driven by the engine, and a king pin connecting the propulsion unit to the swivel bracket mounting portion for pivotal steering movement of the propulsion unit relative to the swivel bracket about a second axis transverse to the tilt axis and for common movement of the propulsion unit with the swivel bracket about the tilt axis and without travel of the propulsion unit over the transom upper edge or into engagement with the transom.read more
