ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for an outboard motor includes a motor mount having a transom mounting bracket attachable to a boat transom and a motor supporting bracket spaced aft of and pivotally connected by upper and lower links with the transom mounting bracket to support an outboard motor wholly aft of the boat transom, a cylinder for moving the motor supporting bracket relative to the transom mounting bracket to move the outboard motor between raised and lowered positions, a water sensor for sensing an undesirable seawater level relative to the outboard motor and for generating a signal indicative of the undesirable water level, and an actuator responsive to the undesirable water level signal for actuating the cylinder to raise the outboard motor. An engine speed sensor may also be employed to prevent actuation of the cylinder when the engine speed is above a predetermined speed.
