ABSTRACT:
The invention is a lower housing unit and propeller protection assembly for a boat motor. The assembly comprises a planar clamp member, securable to a boat motor upper housing unit. An adjustable length, linear connector member is secured at one end to the clamp member, with the linear connecting member positioned forward of a boat motor lower unit housing and propeller. A propeller and lower unit protection subassembly is secured to the lower unit's skeg and to an end of the linear connector member, which is opposite the clamp member. A reinforcing member is secured to the linear connector member and extends to the lower unit protection subassembly. The protection assembly transfers impact force on the subassembly and reinforcing member to the clamp member.
