Outboard motor carrier for motor vehicle

A mounting structure for transporting an outboard motor on a motor vehicle comprising:

• a bracket means adapted to be securely attached to an external structure on a motor vehicle;
• a rigid metal channel extending upwardly at an angle from said bracket means;
• an elongated supporting arm mounted at its lower end to said channel with a lower portion above said lower end receivable into an upper opening in said channel to be supported in an upright position at said angle and a flat plate extending outwardly from its upper end to be engaged with the mounting clamps of an outboard motor;
• and,
• locking means for securing said lower portion of said supporting arm in its upright position within said channel, said supporting arm having said upper end angled obtusely to said supporting arm so that the outboard motor clamped to said plate is held vertically with its center of gravity above the bracket means when said supporting arm is in said upright position, said flat plate extending in a plane at the same obtuse angle to said supporting arm as said upper end.
