Benefits of technology

[0013]By providing a transom bracket mount with a suitable harness for securement to the torso of a user, the carrier device of the present invention is readily adaptable to any type of motor having a transom bracket thereon. Furthermore the transom bracket mount permits the motor to be fixed to the frame of the carrier device in a manner which prevents shifting of the weight of the motor r...

Problems solved by technology

When using an outboard motor with the boat, the motor is commonly awkward and difficult to carry over various terrains.
The position of the handle on the topside of the motor makes it difficult to manually support the weight of the motor over long distances.
Although the carrier supports the weight of the motor in a convenient manner, the cart is not suited for use on various terrains encountered while hiking.
Furthermore when not in use, the cart is bulky and occupies considerable space in the boat once the destination is reached.
When supporting an outboard motor however suitable straps are required to strap the shaft portion of the motor to the main ...

Embodiment Construction

[0045]Referring to the accompanying figures there is illustrated an outboard motor carrier device generally indicated by reference numeral 10. The device 10 is particularly suited for use with an outboard motor 12 for carrying the motor on the back of a user.

[0046]The device 10 is particularly suited for an outboard motor 12 of the type commonly mounted onto the transom forming a portion of the vertical rear wall of a boat. Typically the motor 12 comprises a motor casing 14 at the top end thereof for supporting an internal combustion engine and a fuel tank therein. An output of the engine is connected to a drive shaft extending downwardly from the casing 14 to a propeller 16 at the bottom end of the motor. A drive shaft casing 18 surrounds the drive shaft between the motor casing and the propeller at the bottom end. The motor further comprises a transom bracket 20 which is arranged to be mounted by extending overtop of the top edge of the transom on a boat for clamping against oppos...

Abstract

An outboard motor carrier device is arranged for carrying an outboard motor including a transom bracket arranged to be clamped onto a transom of a boat. The carrier device includes an upright frame including opposing front and rear sides and a pair of shoulder straps on the front side which are arranged to be secured over respective shoulders of a user. A transom bracket mount in the form of an upright panel is supported on the rear of the frame onto which the transom bracket of the outboard motor is clamped. Typically the transom bracket mount is positioned on the upright frame such that the transom bracket mount is arranged to wholly support the outboard motor thereon without any additional securement of the outboard motor to the upright frame of the carrier device being required.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 159,820, filed Mar. 13, 2009.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a carrier arranged to support an outboard motor thereon and including a harness arranged to be secured about a torso of a user for supporting the outboard motor on a back of the user.BACKGROUND[0003]It is common during various recreational activities including fishing, hiking and camping to transport a boat to a remote location by manually carrying the boat and any related equipment. When using an outboard motor with the boat, the motor is commonly awkward and difficult to carry over various terrains. Various prior outboard motor carriers are proposed in the following United States patents.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,481 by Wengler discloses an outboard motor tote comprising straps which surround the motor casing for supporting a handle at the top side of the motor to facilitate handling o...
