It is, its a boat bracket, Just bolt it to the boat and leave it there.

YEP.
You still see them about new, cheaper to make in plastic.

[Adrian Dale]

I've seen the bolt on brackets, but never in plastic!

[Keith.P]

A better look at one, I have seen them and could have has one or two, but never wanted one.

Think I've still got 4 new ones, a favourite with the racers, 10% of the weight of a standard bracket, just remove the pin to remove motor, & still tilts.

been using one for years and have a spare one as well, they cut down the vibrations.

Probably quite a bit lighter and possibly able to absorb some of the vibrations through a transom.
Quick, light and easy.
Wouldn't mind one for my boat but only at second hand prices. They do come up from time to time though.
Interesting...

The Insulastic bolt on bracket seems to be quite good. I have had one in use for my short shaft Silver Century plus and it gets a fair bit of use. I have never seen one for 40 series engine however. Only problem with the bolt on design is that you can't easily use the engine on another boat unless you have a spare clamp on bracket.

40 brackets - bronze - new by the look of them.

I think I will have to keep my eyes open for a plastic bracket for the 100.

I think we all have one or two of BS's useful add-on parts, like the boat transom mount, useful, the carrying handle, not so useful and the tiller extension for that high speed getaway.
I always wanted an axillary motor mount, not that I have see one for some time now, like this emergency spares kit, useful, but not going to be used any time soon, still using a 8 Com spark plug.
