Outboard engine stern plates

Outboard motor transom protectors are essential for any boat owner with an outboard. They distribute the weight and vibrations of the engine over a wider area of the transom, reducing the risk of cracks, warping, and water intrusion.

Whether you have a small auxiliary motor or a powerful V6, our outboard motor guard protects your fiberglass from excessive stress, especially in rough seas. Damage to the transom can compromise your boat's safety and lead to costly repairs.

Materials and Installation

Our transom protectors are typically made from marine-grade aluminum or stainless steel, materials known for their corrosion resistance. Installation is straightforward and requires only a few basic tools. Simply place the outboard motor bumper between the engine and the transom, ensuring a snug fit and secure it with appropriate bolts.

When to Replace Your Transom Protector

Even with durable materials, transom protectors can sustain damage over time due to impacts, corrosion, or wear and tear. Regularly inspect your protector and replace it if you notice any cracks, deformations, or signs of advanced corrosion. Regular checks can prevent major damage and ensure the safety of your vessel.

• Warranty: All our products are covered by the manufacturer's official warranty.


• Technical Support: Not sure about compatibility? Contact us for personalized advice.

If you're replacing your transom protector, also check the condition of the engine mounting bolts and replace them with A4 stainless steel models for increased corrosion resistance if necessary. A gasket kit may also be helpful to further seal the engine to the transom.

Is this outboard motor guard suitable for my engine?

Verify the dimensions of the protector (width, height, thickness) and compare them with the dimensions of your boat's transom and the footprint of your outboard motor. If you have any doubts, contact us with your engine details (make, model, year) and we'll recommend the most suitable protector.

How can I further protect my transom?

In addition to the protector, you can apply a protective coating to the transom, such as an epoxy paint or a transparent protective film. This helps prevent corrosion and damage caused by UV rays and the elements. Also, regularly check the condition of the sealant between the engine and the transom and restore it if necessary.

Which protector thickness should I choose?

The thickness of the protector depends on the engine's horsepower and the stress to which the transom is subjected. For small to medium-sized engines, a protector with a thickness of 10-15 mm may be sufficient. For high-horsepower engines, it is advisable to use a protector with a thickness of at least 20 mm.
