Description: A sturdy, all-metal canoe motor mount with a hinged block, to help protect your motor, your motor mount and your canoe if you hit a stump or rock underwater. Choose options in drop-down windows above and watch price change: 36 inches is the standard length and 45 is for extra wide (for when you want to install it where the canoe is wide). Choose to have stabilizer floats or get it without floats. "I love it" says buyer jonhoffman5 in his Ebay feedback on this item! This motor mount also provides the convenience of allowing you to swing the motor and prop up just by pushing down on the handle of your motor. So if you see a stump or sandbar or rock in time you can just push down and lift the underwater portion of your motor out of the line of fire. The block is 10" wide, so the 36" model can span 26" and the 45" model can span 35". The gunwale clamps slide anywhere along the 26" or 35" span to line up with your gunwales. Works on any canoe. (If you have an "Adventure" model by Mad River, request special clamps that we have for that weird model -- all other Mad River models take our standard clamps, which are included). This motor mount can also serve as the crossbar of a canoe stabilizer. It accepts our inflatable stabilizer floats, which are an option on this listing, or Spring Creek Hydrodynamic floats, which we sell through another listing. It can also accept Spring Creek slip-on wheels, which we sell through other listings. How's that for versatility? Be sure to see the video. As you flip through all the photos above, one of them has a man in it and an arrow in the middle. That's the video. Click the arrow to launch the video. The inflatable stabilizer floats which are optional on this listing are far superior to other inflatable floats. Ours are made of a 3-layer material just like high-quality inflatable boats. The importance of this is that the center layer is a non-stretchy mesh so that the floats become firm and rigid when inflated and resist distortion from forces against them. In addition, they are joined to the metal components by a tripod system to hold the float firmly level, instead of the flimsy 2-point system usually used by others. And there's more! They adjust up and down on a square-post system, locked by a single-knob locking mechanism requiring minimal hand strength to operate. Many will find they can stand in their canoe with these stabilizer floats. There is a photo of the version with floats, so please look for it above. No motor included. This listing is for either just a motor mount or just a motor mount plus inflatable stabilizer floats. (The man in the video and the canoe are also not included.) Disclaimers and warnings: Boating involves risk of injury or death. Please wear a life preserver and learn the rules of safe boating to reduce your risk. The Hinged Motor Mount reduces but does not eliminate the risk of bad things happening if you hit an underwater obstruction. The stabilizer floats reduce the risk of capsize but do not eliminate that risk. The stabilizer floats reduce the risk of standing in a canoe, but standing nevertheless requires good balance and carries unavoidable risks even with such floats. Motors should always have safety lines on them, in case they come loose from their mounting.
