Abstract
A mounting bracket is provided for supporting outboard motors on boats initially designed for I/O motors. The bracket includes a central bracing member, interposed between side members, that also functions as a template or jig whereby the bracket is accurately aligned with a boat transom. The members of the bracket are cast of an aluminum magnesium alloy to inhibit corrosion problems prevalent in prior art designs. Additionally, the bracket is sufficiently lightweight to provide better performance characteristics of the boat.
