Robust Motor Mount for Inflatable Boat, Outboard Engine?
The most commonly available motor mount for an inflatable boat is of the type exemplified here: http://www.trueshopping.co.uk/product.php?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cost-per-click&pid=53131&cid=4644&affid=25&utm_campaign=Outboard_Motor_Mount_for_Voyager_500
I have one of this type and it has buckled and broken under the strain of propelling my boat. This one is supposedly rated for up to 3 hp engines. Does anyone know of a more robust version commercially available that might not disintegrate so easily?
Thanks
no, the boat is a light duty inflatable, it is not designed for rugged use. while there may be a way to add cross bracing to the motor mount doing so may cause additional chafing to the boats fabric and cause other problems. in reviewing video's of your boat, i find that most are powered by a low thrust electric motor.
my suggestion is to look at heavier duty inflatables made with a transom mounted outboard motor. this type of inflatables are made by zodiac and others and are rated for much higher hp and are much more seaworthy.
