Heavy-Duty Outboard Motor Mount: Secure Your Kicker Engine for Good

Every dinghy owner knows the moment. You’re loading gear, the tender’s bouncing against the swim platform, and your auxiliary engine has nowhere solid to sit. A dependable outboard motor mount solves that problem permanently, giving your kicker or auxiliary engine a fixed home on the transom instead of a precarious perch on deck. This one is built from stainless hardware and a UV-stabilized polypropylene plate, and it’s rated to carry real weight without flexing, cracking, or corroding after a season of saltwater spray.

Built to Carry What You Actually Run

Small engines add up fast once you count the fuel tank, the prop guard, and the mounting bracket itself. This outboard motor mount up to 30 kg handles that combined load without complaint, which covers the vast majority of 2-stroke and 4-stroke auxiliary motors used on tenders, sailboats, and small skiffs. Push past that threshold and you’re into territory this bracket isn’t designed for. Stay within it and you get a rock-solid platform that doesn’t wobble when the motor’s tilted up or when following seas hit the stern.

The Plate Matters More Than People Think

Most failures on cheap brackets happen at the mounting board, not the frame. Flex, hairline cracks, UV degradation. This one uses a high-density gray polypropylene board engineered specifically to resist all three, plus the constant low-grade vibration that a running outboard transmits into whatever it’s bolted to. It won’t chalk out in the sun after two summers the way lower-grade plastics do. If you’ve been searching for an outboard motor mount gray in finish rather than the usual stark white, this is it, and the color isn’t just cosmetic. Gray hides salt residue and gel-coat scuffing far better over time.

Stainless Steel Where It Counts

The frame itself is 304 stainless steel, the same grade used throughout marine hardware because it shrugs off saltwater corrosion year after year. Pre-drilled universal holes mean you’re not hunting for a drill press before you can install it. Line up the pattern, bolt it down, done. Whether you’re clamping to a flat transom, a pushpit rail, or a stanchion on a sailboat’s stern rail, the hole spacing accommodates the mounting hardware you’d expect to find in a proper outboard motor mount kit, without forcing you to buy separate adapter plates or custom brackets.

Where It Fits

Transom sterns. Pushpit rails. Balcony-style rails on cruising sailboats. This bracket was designed with all three in mind, so tender owners, weekend sailors, and small motorboat operators are covered by a single product rather than three different SKUs. If your boat has a rail or a flat transom surface with reasonable clearance, this mount goes on it.

Installation Without the Headache

There’s no welding here. No fabrication. Four bolts, a wrench, and roughly twenty minutes is what separates you from a properly mounted auxiliary engine. The stainless frame and polypropylene plate arrive ready to install, and the pre-drilled pattern does the layout work for you.

Stop Improvising. Mount It Properly.

A loose auxiliary motor is a liability on any boat, and a proper outboard motor mount is cheap insurance against a dropped engine, a scratched hull, or a ruined afternoon on the water. This bracket handles the weight, resists the elements, and installs in the time it takes to grab a coffee. Marine Gear Depot has it in stock and ready to ship.
