- This mount is also a good choice when you have a heavy motor; the curved bars resting against the raft's tubes support the weight.
- We use our heavy-duty 1-5/8" OD 6061-T6 aluminum pipe to make the framework for the Motor Mount.
- The 1 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 18" wide transom plate is a piece of wood/plastic composite decking material that will not rot or deteriorate when exposed to water and sun.
- Four 3 3/4" motor mount U-bolts hold the transom plate firmly in place.
- If you already have an NRS Stern Seat Mount, you can install your Motor Mount on either side of the seat plate.
- If you're not using a stern seat, the Motor Mount comes with a 24" piece of frame pipe for attaching the Mount to the Stern Rails.
- If you do not have a Stern Seat Mount you will need a pair of NRS Stern Side Rails (item #90022.02, sold separately) to link the Motor Mount to the rear Cross Bar of your frame. We stock three sizes: the two Small Stern Side Rails, in 32" and 39" lengths, work best for 54" and narrower frames. The 36" Large Rails work best for 60"or wider frames. Measure the distance from the center of the rear cross bar to the center of the raft's rear tube. If you need a length other than our stock sizes, we will custom bend the size you need.
- The bars, where they attach to the transom plate, are 14" apart, center-to-center. If you have valves on the outside of the stern panel, and that spacing interferes with their operation, we can make you a custom transom plate.
- The distance from the center of the attachment bar to the center of the upright bars is 25".
- The transom plate can be mounted on either side of the uprights, and adjusted up and down as needed.
- The Mount fits raft tubes 18"-24" in diameter.
- In our experience, a 10-hp motor is generally as large a motor as most boaters use. Even a 3-hp motor will move a raft along at a pretty good clip.
- Always attach a safety rope or strap from your motor to the frame.
Outdoor New England (ONE) is committed to processing all orders within 1 business day of submission.

Shipping Times and Signatures
We prioritize getting your gear to you promptly and understand that timing is critical for outdoor adventures. While we work closely with shipping carriers, certain factors are outside our control. Delivery times are not guaranteed. Signatures are required for Kayak Shipments.
Kayak Shipping
Outdoor New England ships kayaks to our partner Freight Terminals to save time, reduce costs, and minimize the risk of damage. We will find a partner terminal closest to your location for pick up. If you prefer home delivery, give us a call and we can arrange it for an additional fee.
In some cases, especially for remote locations, ONE may request additional fees to cover the true shipping cost. We’ll notify you in advance and work to find the most efficient, affordable solution. Occasionally, in this instance, we may also suggest delivery to a nearby freight terminal for pick-up.
You may pick up kayaks directly at our Franklin, New Hampshire Location. Please contact Customer Service to arrange pickup. If you need to change your shipping method after placing your order, email us at info@outdoornewengland.com, and we’ll do our best to assist.
Important Note for Kayak Orders:
Upon kayak pickup/delivery, inspect the boat thoroughly before signing the received receipt. This is critical, as signing confirms the condition, and we cannot file damage claims afterward. If you notice any damage, do not sign and contact us immediately.
Shipping to Alaska & Hawaii
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii incurs additional fees.
International Shipping
Outdoor New England is not currently shipping internationally due to high rates of loss and damage. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to resume international shipping when conditions improve.
