Abstract: A marine craft outboard engine mount includes sideplate brackets which are wider at the top than at the bottom to permit "tucking" of the propeller under the transom. This provides a greater power-on thrust, giving a marine craft operator forward motion with a greater lift factor. Forward motion and the lift factor working simultaneously prevent the boat from "bogging down." With the engine mount, the engine sits in a higher position, and further behind the transom, which leads to increased performance.
