NRS U-Style Raft Motor Mount - The U-Style Raft Motor Mount by NRS places the motor far enough from the rafts stern for easy operation of the control handle. Made from heavy-duty 1-5/8 inch OD 6061-T6 aluminum pipe, it is a good choice when you have a heavy motor. The curved bars rest against the rafts tubes to support the weight. The wide transom plate is made of a wood/plastic composite decking material that will not rot or deteriorate when exposed to water and sun. It is backed with two pieces of aluminum channel to increase the grip on the upright pipe sections, while four oversize U-bolts hold the transom plate firmly in place. Always attach a safety rope or strap from your motor to the frame. When you want to run your motor while sitting on the stern seat, you need the NRS U-Style Raft Motor Mount.
