Abstract
A bracket for mounting an outboard motor on a transom of a boat. The bracket has a pair of inverted U-shaped mounting members connected by a pivot pin such that the inside and outside legs of the mounting member extend downwardly over the transom. The outer legs of each mounting member are clamped into bearing engagement with the transom by means of an interconnecting thumbs screw assembly. The thumbs screw assembly includes a bolt member that extends through the outside leg and transom and an internally threaded hand operated screw member engaged on the end of the bolt member to provide a clamping arrangement with bolt-on safety and yet be able to easily be removed without wrenches for quick attachment and release of the bracket.
