Key Information
- Edson part #95201 (small) and #95203 (large) side-mount outboard engine brackets: a stainless bracket that mates with a bronze deck plate and is held by an eye bolt.
- Designed for small electric and gasoline-powered outboard motors – not to exceed 2hp.
Care must be taken when docking: the motor mount is not designed or intended to withstand a collision with a dock, another vessel, a piling or any other solid object. Edson's warranty extends to the motor mount and bracket only.
Installing the Deck Plate
- Permanently mount the bronze deck plate to the vessel, secured to adequate structure.
- Locate it by dry-fitting with the stainless bracket attached: this ensures proper spacing from the shear line.
- Use 6 × 1/4" bolts with washers, an adequate backing plate (if applicable) and ample bedding compound to seal against leaks.
Mounting and Removing the Outboard
- Make sure conditions are safe: calm water and a level vessel are ideal and recommended.
- Mate the stainless bracket with the bronze deck plate and screw in the eye bolt until it is tight enough that it won't back off.
- Move the outboard to a safe position (within the cockpit) near the mounting bracket.
- Tie a safety line from the outboard to the eye bolt on the bracket.
- Lift the outboard onto the bracket and secure it. Make sure the safety line will not interfere with the operation of the motor.
- To remove, reverse the process: remove the outboard first, then the bracket. Use a safety line and only do so when conditions are appropriate and safe.
