ABSTRACT:
This invention, a Center Stern Outboard Motor Mount For Double-End Canoes, is useful for mounting an outboard motor on a double-end canoe of any type or make, and places the weight and thrust of the motor at center stern. This arrangement is safer and more energy efficient than the side clamping motor mounts often used on double-end canoes. This Motor Mount consists of a block of material, such as wood, to which an outboard can be clamped, that is fastened to a rigid piece of elongated material such as aluminum or fibre glass, with bends and curves so as to conform to the profile of the stern deck and the stem of the canoe for which it is made, and is fastened securely thereto by a selection of bolts, taut lines, hooks and a locking peg, according to the pecularities of the various stern designs of double-end canoes. In certain applications where it is not feasible to bolt the Mount directly to the stern deck of the canoe, it is bolted to an Accessory Deck Plate which is normally made of the same material as the Motor Mount. An Accessory Deck Plate conforms around the forward edge of the deck and is secured in place on the deck by two taut lines connected to the Deck Plate and to the lower rear section of the Motor Mount.
