ABSTRACT:
A retainer for a transom-mounted outboard boat motor is mounted on the inside face of the transom generally surrounding the area where the clamping thumb screws of the motor mounting bracket engage the transom. The retainer includes a retaining lip which will engage the pads on the clamping thumb screws should the motor shift inadvertently out of position and prevent horizontal sliding or vertical tilting which may result in loss of the motor even if the thumb screws are inadvertently left fully loosened and the engine is operated in reverse in a tight turn. The retainer is easily attached to the boat transom and includes a recessed mounting notch in the retainer lip which facilitates mounting and offers no significant interference to attachment or removal of the motor.
