ABSTRACT:
The safety cradle is adapted to releasably secure an outboard motor for storage and transport and is particularly adapted for mounting in the cargo portion of an open or paneled truck. The cradle includes an upright transverse pivot brace securable at one end thereof to a support structure such as the truck sidewall, with a pair of pivot points at its opposite free end, and an elongated support arm having a motor supporting portion. The arm is pivotally secured to the brace at the pivot points and is rotatable between a forward secured position and a rearward release position. A bracket is also provided which is securable to the flat bed of the truck in front of the pivot brace at a location to engage the free end of the pivot arm. The bracket includes a base and an upright bearing a transverse lock bar and a transverse C-shaped member below the lock bar. The C-shaped member is adapted to engage the drive shaft housing of an outboard motor. The lock bar can releasably engage and can be locked to an upright at the free end of the pivot arm to hold the motor in place. When it is desired to remove the motor the cradle is unlocked and the arm is pivoted so that it and preferably the motor extend rearwardly from the rear opening of the truck for easy removal from the cradle. The cradle is simple, effective and durable.
