Title: Outboard motor mounting system

Abstract: A protective mounting plate arrangement for removably supporting an outboard motor on a boat transom. One protective plate mounted on the rear side of the transom is formed with a pair of recessed vertical grooves for receiving and guiding arms of a motor clamp into precise predetermined position. Secured to the forward side of the transom are plates which define a pair of recesses for receiving the screw heads of the motor clamp. Such mounting plate arrangement protects the transom from scarring and damage during mounting of the motor and precisely orients and positively retains the motor in its desired operating position.
