ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor stow pivot bracket is disclosed for stowing a motor in a generally vertical orientation while mounted on the transom of a dinghy which itself is swung beamwise (on beam ends) from a horizontal, in-the-water position up into a generally vertical stowed position on the back of a carrier boat such as on the stern of a pleasure craft. The pivot bracket includes a channel structure sized to fit on the motor-support edge of the dinghy transom and has outside surfaces adapted to receive the standard transom clamp of an outboard motor. At opposite ends of the channel structure are a pair of complementary pivot journals, and a pivot bolt connects a selected one of these pivot journals to a support structure on the dinghy transom in a universal construction that allows the user to assemble the bracket for pivoting in one direction or the other, depending upon the desired orientation of the motor and of the dinghy in their stored positions. A locking toggle connected between the channel structure and support on the dinghy transom locks the channel structure and the clamped motor in the stored position pivoted 90 degrees to the support edge of the dinghy transom.
