Abstract: The object of this invention is to alter speed and handling characteristics of an outboard motor boat. This Improved Outboard Motor Mount achieves this with the ability to adjust the distance between the outboard motor and the stern of the boat. Consequently, this movement uses the weight of the outboard motor as leverage to adjust the centre of gravity of the vessel to suit water conditions. Setting the outboard motor close to the stern of the boat will make the bow of the boat more difficult to lift, thus improving its handling performance in rough water. Setting the outboard away from the stern of the boat will make the bow of the boat easy to lift, improving boat speed. This Improved Outboard Motor Mount allows the consumer to optimize their outboard motor boats performance in a variety of water conditions.
