PantherPro Outboard Motor Brackets

PantherPro Outboard Motor Brackets: Engineered for the Water

When it comes to safely and reliably mounting an auxiliary or kicker motor on your boat, few names carry the credibility of PantherPro. With over 30 years of experience, Panther outboard motor brackets have been a top seller throughout the United States and around the world — and that reputation is built on real-world performance across powerboats, sailboats, and pontoons alike.

Built to Handle Modern 4-Stroke Engines

Today's 4-stroke outboards are heavier and produce more torque than the 2-stroke motors of previous generations, and PantherPro's bracket lineup is engineered with that reality in mind. The anodized aluminum construction is built to handle the increased weight and torque output of today's four strokes with long or short shafts. Whether you run a small 10 HP kicker or a beefier auxiliary motor, there is a PantherPro bracket designed to the task.

Spring-Assist Counterbalance for Effortless Adjustments

One of the standout features across PantherPro's outboard motor bracket lineup is the torsion spring counterbalance system. Hand-adjustable with just the turn of a knob, stainless steel torsion springs counterbalance motor weight making adjustments a breeze, while the 2"-thick, extra-wide mounting board and aircraft-type stainless steel hardware deliver heavy-duty performance. This design eliminates the grunt work of lifting a heavy outboard by hand every time you need to raise or lower it.

Material Options for Every Environment

PantherPro offers brackets in both aluminum and stainless steel to suit different boating environments. Heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum is designed for freshwater use on both powerboats and sailboats, while stainless steel construction provides a non-corrosive option for saltwater use. The mounting boards themselves are 2" thick, weatherproof, and maintenance-free polypropylene — a smart choice for hardware that lives outside in all conditions.

Versatile Mounting Configurations

PantherPro's bracket range covers several mounting scenarios beyond the standard transom mount. The swim platform bracket is designed to mount on most swim platforms, rated for 2- and 4-stroke motors up to 20 HP, and constructed of black powder-coated aluminum that can be adjusted to fit most platform heights and motor shaft lengths for optimum prop depth and performance. For pontoon boaters, the Pontoon Kicker Motor Bracket Kit combines an Adapter Bracket with a Swim Platform Bracket — the Adapter Bracket mounts directly to the pontoon frame rails, solving a long-standing installation challenge for motors up to 20 HP.

Safety and Standards Compliance

PantherPro takes safety seriously across its bracket lineup. Brackets meet ABYC Standards — the benchmark for safe design in the American recreational boating industry. Select models include a safety cable and feature twist-knob safety locks that provide an increased torque rating while helping secure the bracket in place.

Whether you need a reliable mount for a trolling kicker, a backup motor, or an auxiliary engine on a sailboat, PantherPro's outboard motor brackets deliver the durability, adjustability, and peace of mind that serious boaters demand.
