ABSTRACT:
A manually adjustable outboard motor mount comprises two brackets one attachable to a boat transom and one to which an outboard motor can be attached. The motor bracket is constrained to movement in a straight, substantially vertical path relative to the transom bracket by the cooperation of rods on one bracket with spaced bearings in sleeves on the other bracket. The motor bracket is adjusted vertically by a shaft threaded into the transom bracket and rotatable in a combined thrust and journal bearing in the motor bracket. A nut on the threads of the shaft can be tightened against a plate of the transom bracket to lock the motor bracket against vertical movement. The nut has three radial arms disposed at 120 degree angles relative to one another to allow convenient manual tightening.
