Aluminium Transom Mount for Caroute Brushless Motors
The aluminium transom mount Caroute fits as standard to the N and W platforms, supplied separately for S platform builds and for replacement.
What It Is
The transom mount is the bracket that clamps the drive to the back of the boat and carries the load in use. Caroute fits it as standard on the N and W platforms and lists it as an accessory option on the S platform, where the installer may be designing a different mounting entirely.
It is aluminium rather than steel, which is what keeps a 180 LB drive within the weight one person can lift onto a transom.
Why It Is Specified
- Standard fit across two platforms
The same mount appears on the N and W platform specifications.
- Aluminium
Keeps the assembled drive light enough to handle.
- Available separately
Supplied as an accessory option for S platform builds and for replacement.
- Paired with the depth adjustment collar
The shaft carries a depth adjustment collar so the mount does not have to set running depth.
Application Scenarios
- S platform builders who want the factory mount rather than a fabricated one.
- Owners replacing a damaged mount.
- Fleet operators holding spares.
What It Fixes
- A fabricated bracket has no known load rating
This is the mount Caroute fits as standard on the N and W platforms.
- Steel brackets add weight at the transom
The mount is aluminium.
- Replacing a mount usually means replacing the drive
The mount is available on its own.

How to Specify and Fit It
Check transom thickness and height before ordering.
Fit the mount first, then set running depth with the collar on the shaft.
Re-check the clamp after the first hour on the water.
