The Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket
Constructed of rugged aircraft aluminum and designed for minimal maintenance and long life in extreme duty environments.
Unique and unparalleled
Enhance your boating and fishing experience.
The Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket is a moveable parallelogram that combines the best features of two products. As a parallelogram, the engine remains at the same trim angle throughout the entire range of travel ot the Porta Bracket. A stationary transom bracket extends the motor off the back of the boat for economy and more room inside the boat – but cannot raise or lower the motor to find the “sweet spot” for performance, to accommodate shallow water fishing, or to provide motor protection raise-and-tilt. Hydraulic jack plates can raise and lower the motor a short distance (usually six inches max) but does not offer the setback advantages of a transom bracket. With the Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket you get both – the setback, with its advantages, and the vertical movement range – of 2″ to 22″ – much more than is offered by any any other sysytem. Unique is indeed the word for this remarkable product.
The Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket goes where no engine bracket has gone before. Straight up and straight down. It lifts from one to six outboard motors…effortlessly…hydraulically. What makes it unique is, it lifts the motors vertically, up to 22″, with setbacks of 8″-10″12″- 17″-21″-26″. Eliminating the need for lower unit anti-fouling paint. The Porta Bracket also allows the gearcase to be raised above the bottom of the boat without tilting, keeping the propshaft parallel with the direction of the boat, Creating infinitely more access to shallow water with unparalleled navigability. The Porta Bracket is constructed of rugged aircraft aluminum. It features one hydraulic cylinder per outboard, each with 5,000 lbs of lift and two hydraulic cylinders per engine on the industrial/commercial models. It’s like having a setback bracket and an extreme jackplate in one dependable product with 3 times the vertical range of anything else on the water.
