Outboard Rise and Fall Bracket - 15HP is a rugged, stainless steel mounting solution designed to give you precise control over a small auxiliary outboard. Built to handle engines up to 15HP (maximum 45 kg), this bracket is engineered for reliability in saltwater environments and comfort in daily use. The vertical transom mounting, paired with a sturdy mounting plate and wide base, delivers stable operation whether you’re cruising, trolling, or maneuvering in choppy seas.

Designed for real-world boating needs, this bracket lets you lower a compact outboard into the water for propulsion and lift it clear when you don’t need it. A pair of robust stainless springs provides up to 35 kg of raising assistance, making adjustments effortless even with a partially loaded boat. The mechanism features four selectable height positions that can be locked securely with large, easy-grip hand knobs. Once locked, the position stays put—crucial for safe trailering and when navigating rough conditions.

Why it matters

• Effortless adjustment: Spring-assisted lift reduces the effort required to raise or lower the engine, so you can fine-tune height on the fly as water depth and loads change.
• Secure, reliable locking: Four fixed heights and a robust locking system ensure the motor stays exactly where you set it, even during highway transit.
• Durable marine-grade construction: Stainless steel components resist corrosion in saltwater, while a plastic poly mounting pad provides a stable, non-marking base for the engine.
• Versatile fit: Suited for a wide range of small outboards and easily mounts to a vertical transom, making it a practical upgrade for tenders, dinghies, and compact cruisers.

Ideal for who and how you’ll use it

Perfect for boaters who anchor in varying depths, runabouts, and tenders with small outboards. If you frequently switch between propulsion and trolling, this bracket lets you dial in the exact motor height for optimal bite in the water and minimal drag when the engine is out of the water. It’s also a practical companion for trailering,raising the motor quickly to clear obstacles, or when you need to keep the engine away from marine growth during storage or long trips.

What makes this different

Compared to generic mounts, the Outboard Rise and Fall Bracket from Absolute Marine combines robust stainless construction with a purpose-built four-position locking system and substantial spring-assisted lift. That combination translates to smoother operation, predictable performance, and long-term durability in demanding marine environments. It’s a purpose-driven solution designed specifically for small, high-use auxiliary motors, not a one-size-fits-all bracket.

Practical tips for best results

• Before each voyage, set the bracket to the waterline height you anticipate for the day’s conditions to minimize trim adjustments on the fly.
• Periodically inspect the locking knobs and springs for wear or corrosion, and service per maintenance guidelines to preserve smooth operation.
• Use the four-position height settings to adapt to different boat loads, water depths, and propeller depths for optimal propulsion and efficiency.
