Installing the tender motor in the rear balcony is still the best location. Indeed, storage in a trunk is often inappropriate. With the engine lying down, there is a risk of oil or fuel leaks. Not to mention the risks taken on the propeller, which can be marked or twisted.
But for the engine to be properly fixed on the rear balcony, an appropriate engine mount is required. Plastimo has just launched a new model with an aesthetic shape that can be fixed on a horizontal balcony combined with a foot.
The bracket is designed so that the vertical foot fits either to the left or to the right of the center of the bracket. This allows a wide range of installation options. The bracket is mounted in a few minutes by screwing in the 4 screws and nuts supplied with the bracket.
Small detail, the bracket is delivered with a stainless steel cable that will be used to attach an anti-theft device to the engine. This way, even motors that do not have drilled press screws (as in the case of the Suzuki 2.5 for example) can be secured with the padlock.
This bracket, which can accommodate a 5 hp or 30 kg maxi engine, is available in grey or white (as in our test) at 29.90 ?
