Abstract: This disclosure relates to a bracket for elevating and lowering an outboard motor relative to the transom of an associated boat including two pair of relatively telescopic tubular elements each connected to a pair of mounting members adapted to be secured to a boat transom and an outboard motor, respectively, an outermost one of the pair of the tubular elements having an elongated slot in each and a guiding element disposed in each slot and connected between an associated one of the innermost elements and one of the outboard motor mounting members for guiding the relative telescopic motion between the two pair of elements.
