An auxiliary outboard engine is mounted on the stern of a boat using an outboard bracket. The outboard bracket houses a smaller outboard engine used for trolling, sometimes known as a kicker motor. The mechanical connection is often situated between the outboard bracket and the boat's engine, making it as simple as turning the steering wheel to guide the kicker motor. Sailing yachts typically employ an outboard bracket for mounting a small, gas-powered outboard motor that is used in weak winds and for navigating through harbors.
Key Features:
- In general, brackets extend the hull's running plane and provide a boat with a ride equal to the length of the main hull plus the bracket length. This often offers superior performance when running at high speed and across swells.
- The bracket makes the water behind the boat cleaner (less turbulent or aerated), and this is where the propeller operates.
