Abstract
A motor mount for varying the height of an outboard motor on the transom of a boat comprises a first bracket connected to a transom, and a second bracket connected to an outboard motor. A fluid-driven actuator effects movement of the second bracket relative to the first. One or more guides, each comprising a rod extending through a pair of vertically separated bearings fixed to the interior of a hollow, elongated tubular member, constrains the second bracket to vertical movement when the first bracket is connected to the transom of a boat.
