SKU Rated To Mounting Area
RWB277 25HP - 58KG max load 215mm x x270mm
25hp (18kw) maximum standard & 20hp max. long (20-23") shaft models. 58kg max. weight. Applies to both 2 and 4 stroke motors.
Hole centres 152mm vertical x 207mm horizontal (approx.). Bracket size: 350mm (reach) x 280mm (mounting width) x 215mm (mounting height).
Vertical movement (adjustment) 340mm (13.3/8"). In its lowest position the top edge of the timber is 83mm below horizontal. In the second to top position the top edge of the timber is 144mm above horizontal.
Timber size: 260 x 190 x 35mm. Varnished hardwood. Hardwood is an ideal material because the outboard motor clamps sink slightly into the surface, thus reducing the risk of the motor slipping off. This cannot be achieved with plastic mounts.
For additional lift assistance refer to "Large Spring Set" code OU03.
Mounting instructions: The bracket is designed to lift the motor clear of the water when not in use.
1. Locate the bracket in the raised position so the motor skeg is clear of the water. Mark the bolt holes in this raised postion.
2. Check that, when the motor is 340mm lower, the propellor is at sufficient depth in the water.
3. Mount as close to the centreline as practicable, without interfering with the main motor, rudder etc.
4. The port (LH) side if often preferable for better weight distribution and ease of operation. The motor weight is offset by the helmsman's weight on the starboard side. The steering tiller is normally on the port side.
5. Use four 3/8" or 10mm stainless steel bolts with eight large diameter (and preferably thick) washers. It may be necessary to reinforce the transom with a backing plate or pads. They can be made from marine plywood or aluminium for example. Mount them on the inside of the transom.
Alternatively see your friendly marine dealer for fitting.
Warning: During installation do not attempt to operate the bracket before it is solidly mounted or the two large springs are temporarily removed. Ignoring this warning could result in serious injury.
