ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an article carrier for heavy articles such as an outboard motor. It includes a pair of article-encircling loops including a rear strap loop for encircling the stern portion of an outboard motor and a front strap loop encircling the front portion of the motor. Each of the loops is positioned during use in an inclined plane such that the rear strap loop projects rearwardly from the handle at an oblique angle and the front strap loop projects forwardly at an oblique angle whereby the loops lie in inclined planes and encircle the motor obliquely when in place on the motor housing. A handle formed from a flexible member is connected to the article carrier at the top of the motor during use to provide a hand grip for the carrier. Releasable fasteners are secured to at least one of the loops for holding the loops in place on the motor during use. The strap assembly includes a tension-absorbing portion at the top of the strap assembly, which can either be a portion of the straps themselves or a separate strong, flexible connecting element such as a piece of fabric webbing that is connected to upper portions of the article-encircling straps for holding the straps in place at the top of the motor.
