It is installed between the outboard motor and the boat transom, and it is rated for outboard motors up to a maximum of 130 HP. When the boat is run at speeds under 5 miles per hour in the forward direction and the motor strikes a submerged log or other obstruction, momentum causes the motor to deflect and rotate up to 45 degrees, allowing the lower unit to slide over the obstruction instead of taking a direct hit. This helps minimize damage to both the outboard motor and the transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA built-in drawbar spring returns the motor to its normal running position and holds it there while operating in reverse at low RPM. The BA-130 is not designed to absorb impacts while the boat is being operated in reverse. The unit is pre-drilled with the standard B.I.A. Bolt hole pattern for straightforward installation on compatible transoms. For outboard motors that mount using clamps with thumb screws, the T-H-13022 Transom Clamp Adapter is required in addition to the BA-130.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e CMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 130 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Speed for Breakaway Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under 5 miles per hour, forward direction only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard B.I.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transom mount, between motor and transom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.25 x 19.25 x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 739697130034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutboard motors up to a maximum of 130 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotors with clamps that have thumb screws require the T-H-13022 Transom Clamp Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers listed\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the CMC BA-130 Breakaway Unit do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CMC BA-130 (Part 13003) mounts between an outboard motor and the boat transom so the motor can deflect and slide over submerged logs, stumps, or debris at low speeds instead of taking a direct impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum HP rating for the BA-130?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BA-130 is rated for outboard motors up to a maximum of 130 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the BA-130 protect my motor if I hit something in reverse?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The BA-130 is designed to help minimize damage only when an obstruction is encountered while running under 5 miles per hour in the forward direction, not while operating in reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far does the motor rotate when it hits an obstruction?\u003c\/strong\u003e Momentum causes the motor to deflect and rotate up to 45 degrees on the BA-130, allowing the motor to slide over the obstruction before the drawbar spring returns it to its normal position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the BA-130 fit standard bolt patterns?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the unit is pre-drilled with the standard B.I.A.
