Description
ENGINEERED MARINE PRODUCTS BR pocket | Boat Supply Store
This bracket is engineered to reinforce the transom mounting of BRP outboard motors manufactured between 1979 and 2014. It specifically addresses transom flex and potential stress fractures common with higher horsepower engines, providing a rigid support structure. This is crucial for maintaining engine alignment and preventing hull damage during high-speed operation or rough water conditions, particularly on aluminum bass boats operating in Texas's coastal bays.
