ABSTRACT:
The articulated support for mounting an outboard motor to the transom of a boat comprises a stationary support section secured to the boat's transom, and a movable support section to receive the outboard motor. A shorter arm has a proximate end connected to the stationary support section through a first pivot remote from the boat's transom, and a distal end connected to the movable support section through an upper pivot. A pair of longer arms have a proximate end connected to the stationary support section through a third pivot situated close to the transom of the boat, and a distal end connected to the movable support section through a lower pivot. A mechanism rotates the proximate and distal ends of the shorter and longer arms about the respective pivots in order to pivot the movable support section about the stationary support section. The first and third pivots are so positioned and spaced apart on the stationary support section, the upper and lower pivots are so positioned and spaced apart on the movable support section, and the lengths of the shorter and longer arms are so adjusted that the rotative axle of the outboard motor is horizontal in a lower position of the movable support section, and that the longer and shorter arms cross each other in an upper position of the movable support section to tilt the outboard motor forwardly.
