Panther Swim Platform Outboard Motor Bracket, Adjustable for 2- and 4-Stroke Motors up to 20 HP
The Panther Swim Platform Outboard Motor Bracket is an adjustable mounting bracket designed to install on most swim platforms, letting you carry an auxiliary or trolling outboard without giving up transom space. It is rated for 2-stroke and 4-stroke motors up to 20 HP and is built from black powder-coated aluminum for corrosion resistance in the marine environment.
The bracket adjusts to fit most platform heights and motor shaft lengths so you can dial in optimum prop depth and performance for your specific boat and motor combination. A hand-adjustable knob lets you move the motor through five vertical running positions to compensate for changing water conditions or load, without needing tools. The design includes a transom support bar that provides weight support and torque resistance, keeping the mount stable under load.
This bracket must not be used without the Panther 55-0415 safety cable, which is included with the bracket. The safety cable is a required safety component that helps retain the motor and bracket assembly in the event of a mounting failure.
