Custom Mounting Brackets -How?
Custom Mounting Brackets for Underwater Thrusters and Electric Outboard Motors
At HobbyWater, we understand that every marine application is unique — especially when it comes to mounting high-powered electric thrusters like our E30,DW Underwater Motor series. Whether you’re building a lightweight inflatable, a rigid hull, or a prototype watercraft, a well-designed mounting bracket is essential for safety, performance, and easy installation.
That’s why we offer custom-designed mounting brackets tailored to your specific boat configuration.
Why Custom Mounts Matter
Unlike generic outboard motors, electric thrusters vary in size, cable layout, and propulsion dynamics. A universal mount often doesn’t provide the optimal angle, depth, or support. Our made-to-order brackets ensure:
- Proper propeller depth and alignment
- Reliable strength and corrosion resistance
- Secure fitment on different transom types
- Clean cable routing and easy maintenance
What We Need to Design Your Bracket
To create a mounting solution that fits your needs perfectly, we ask you to provide the following information:
1. Transom Design & Dimensions
- Is the transom vertical, angled, or flat?
- What is the transom thickness?
- Do you require a clamp-on or bolt-on mount?
2. Ideal Propeller Depth
- What is the desired propeller depth below the waterline?
- What is your boat's draft when loaded and unloaded?
3. Motor Installation Preferences
- Will the ESC be mounted on the boat or integrated with the bracket?
- Do you need cable routing channels built into the mount?
4. Height & Tilt Adjustment
- Should the mount support adjustable depth or tilt functions?
- Will the mount stay in place permanently or be removable for transport?
5. Space or Weight Constraints
- Are there any limitations in width, height, or total weight for the mount?
If you’re working on a custom watercraft or commercial prototype, we’re happy to co-develop a solution that fits your performance goals.
