Outboard motor mount and outboard motor stand

An outboard motor mount is a device that allows you to securely attach your outboard motor to your boat or store it outside of your boat, such as on a dock or in a garage. It is especially useful in situations where:

  • The boat's stern structure is not designed to directly support an outboard motor.

  • An adjustable mounting height for the motor is required.

  • You want to store the engine safely when it is not in use.

There are several different types of outboard motor racks, including fixed, boat-mounted racks, portable storage racks, and outboard motor stands.

Where do you put the outboard motor mount?

  1. After the boat:

    • An outboard motor mount is usually attached to the transom of the boat. An outboard motor mount is especially useful when you want to add a small auxiliary motor (e.g. an electric motor or a smaller internal combustion engine) to your boat.

    • Some boats use adjustable outboard motor mounts that allow the motor to be lifted out of the water.

  2. For storage:

    • A portable outboard motor stand or outboard motor stand serves as a storage platform for the motor when the motor is not being used on the boat.

    • The outboard motor stand is also suitable for performing engine maintenance.

How to use an outboard motor mount?

  1. Boat mounts:

    • Securely attach the outboard motor mount to the boat's transom with screws or bolts. Make sure the mounting surface can withstand the weight of the outboard motor and the stress of use.

    • Adjust the height of the stand so that the motor propeller is at the optimal depth in the water.

    • Install the motor on the outboard motor mount and secure it securely with the included clamps or bolt mounts.

  2. Outboard stand and outboard trailers:

    • Carefully lift the outboard onto the outboard stand and ensure it is securely supported.

    • With an outboard motor trailer, it is easy to move the engine, for example to a garage or service station near the outboard motor stand.

    • When storing, use the straps or tensioners that may come with the outboard motor stand to prevent the motor from tipping over.

What is an outboard motor mount made of?

Outboard motor mounts and stands are manufactured to be durable and long-lasting, as they typically have to withstand constant stress, moisture, and corrosion. The most commonly used materials are:

  • Stainless steel: Withstands salt water and heavy loads. Often used in outboard motor mounts that are attached to boats.

  • Aluminum: A lightweight and durable material that is also corrosion resistant.

  • Composite materials or reinforced plastic: Used in lighter racks and outboard motor stands, as well as portable storage racks.

  • Wood and metal combinations: A wooden outboard motor stand is a popular option for those who want a more classic look.

What to look for when buying an outboard motor mount?

  1. Load capacity and engine weight:

    • Choose an outboard motor mount or stand that is sized for the weight of your motor. Mounts are typically marked with a maximum weight limit.

  2. Adjustability:

    • Height and tilt adjustment are important for boat mounts. This allows for optimized engine operation in different conditions.

  3. Material durability:

    • Check that the materials used in the outboard motor mount are corrosion resistant, especially if you are boating in salt water.

  4. Fastening mechanism:

    • The stand should be easy to install and remove. Good mounts will prevent the engine from swinging during operation.

  5. Outboard motor mount type:

    • If you need a rack for the stern of your boat, make sure it fits your boat's stern structure. If you need a storage rack, choose a model with stable legs or wheels.

  6. Boat and engine compatibility:

    • Make sure the outboard motor mount fits your boat's transom structure. Smaller boats may require lighter and less bulky mounts.

What types of outboard motors is the outboard motor mount suitable for?

Outboard motor mounts and stands are designed to support various types of outboard motors, but compatibility depends on the size and weight of the motor. When choosing a mount, consider:

  1. Weight:

    • The outboard motor mount must withstand the weight of the motor and the additional stress caused by use. A lighter mount is sufficient for electric motors, for example, while heavier models are needed for large combustion engines.

  2. Power:

    • The power of the engine affects the load capacity of the outboard motor mount. Often, the mounts indicate the recommended maximum power (e.g. 10 hp, 20 hp).

  3. Size:

    • The mounting surface and height of the stand must be compatible with the motor mounting base.

  4. Electric and internal combustion engines:

    • Lightweight electric outboards can usually be mounted to almost any rack, but heavy combustion engines require a sturdy structure and robust mounting mechanisms.

Outboard motor transportation

Transporting your outboard motor is an important part of maintaining and safely operating your engine. Properly transporting your engine will minimize damage and extend its life. When transporting your outboard motor, it is important to consider the safety of both the engine and the means of transport.

How is the outboard motor transported?

  1. Prepare the outboard motor for transport:

    • Empty the fuel tank (if removable): This will prevent fuel from leaking during transport.

    • Close all connectors and hoses: Prevent oil and other fluids from leaking.

    • Protect the engine: Use a protective bag or cover for the engine to protect it from scratches, dust and moisture.

  2. Optimize the engine's external dimensions:

    • Turn the outboard motor as compact as possible, to a position where the propeller is close to the motor body.

  3. Securely mount the motor:

    • Make sure nothing moves while transporting the outboard. Excessive vibration or movement can damage both the outboard and the transport vehicle.

Equipment for transporting an outboard motor

  1. Outboard motor transport racks:

    • Portable outboard motor stand: These stands have wheels and a sturdy frame that make it easy to move the motor and keep it stable. This stand is especially useful if the motor is heavy or needs to be transported over long distances.

    • Storage rack: Supports the engine in an upright position during transport. Often used when transporting the engine inside a car.

  2. Transport support (transom support):

    • If the engine is attached to the boat and the boat is towed by a trailer, the outboard motor transport support is installed between the boat's transom and the trailer. The support prevents the engine from straining the boat's structures and from being damaged on uneven roads.

  3. Car trailer or trunk:

    • In the trunk: Use sturdy tie-down straps or belts to prevent the engine from moving.

    • In a trailer: Use padding or stands to protect the engine. Position the engine securely and protect it with, for example, cargo straps.

  4. Cargo slings or straps:

    • Straps are essential for securing an engine, whether it's in a car, trailer, or rack.

  5. Protective cover or bag:

    • Protects the engine from dust, moisture and scratches. A good protective cover also prevents external damage during transport.

  6. Engine lift (if necessary):

    • Lifting heavy engines is safe with an engine hoist, especially if it is being moved between the boat and the transport vehicle.

Outboard motor transport position:

  • Vertical position:

    • The vertical position is always the preferred choice as it minimizes fluid leaks (oil or fuel) and protects the internal engine components.

  • Side position:

    • If the engine is transported on its side (e.g. in the trunk), check the engine manual to see which side it can be safely placed on. Incorrect positioning may cause oil leakage and damage.

Special considerations when transporting an outboard motor

  1. Engine weight:

    • When transporting a heavy outboard motor, auxiliary equipment, such as an engine lift or transport stand, must be used.

  2. Liquid leakage:

    • Oil and fuel may spill if the outboard is transported in the wrong position. Use a tarpaulin or absorbent mats to protect the transport equipment.

  3. Vibration and shock protection:

    • The motor can be damaged by vibration and shock during transport. Always use cushioning or secure the motor securely.

  4. Transporting an outboard motor in a vehicle:

    • Make sure the engine cannot move during sudden braking or turning. Secure the engine with straps and support it with padding if necessary.

  5. Engine mounted on the boat:

    • If the engine is left attached to the boat and the boat is transported on a trailer, use a transport support to avoid damage to the boat's transom or engine.
