Clamps to the stern of any rowboat
peller against the water is utilized to swing it to its opposite direction automatically, where it is locked into place. This naturally changes the direction of rotation and the push of the propeller against the water exerts a backward thrust on the boat equal in force to that which was previously used in driving it forward. BRACKET To prevent vibration and even loss of the motor, the bracket design must be right. The lEWllIrilIr1!.ll<dlte bracket centers the weight right on top of the transom, not inside or outside. The thumb screws, with their broad-faced contact buttons, grip securely and yet do not mar the sternpiece. The motor proper is pivoted to the top of the bracket, being held by two heavy machine screws, while, at the bottom, there are two parallel segment forks to which the propeller sleeve is attached through the segment block. By loosening two nuts, the propeller sleeve may be adjusted on the segment fork to suit the angle of stern. Adjustment may also be made for depth. If it is desirable to attach the motor to the stern permanently, a bolt may be placed through a hole provided, and thence through the stern-piece. For comfort in carrying, the cross-bar has been rounded off to fit the hand.
