Hey guys I put my leash on tonight. Took about 20 minutes and it is a truly custom fit for my g2 Evinrude. I can't answer a lot of questions on the techincal end of things but feel free to call the guys at the leash if you have questions. I will have pictures up shortly.

Its not holding the motor down, I would assume it would have full range of motion, but in the event of a collision it would take enough of the shock out of the impact to keep the motor on the back of the boatOriginally Posted by Tim W
Oh ok. That makes sense. In all the years of owning bass boats I have never though about this.
Great post.

The item labeled "Swivel plate" in my 4 February 2016 Leash installation sketch should have been labeled "Swivel bracket". I started life as a hydraulic engineer and still often write swivel plate, as in a hydraulic piston pump, for swivel bracket, as in an outboard motor by mistake.

I don't run hard where I'm not familiar with the water. If you want to haul ass in unfamiliar waters, it's on you.
I have one on my boat, was pre owned came from dealer. I understand previous owner was involved with or the sole creator of the leash. It's fine though no problems, you don't even know it's there really
Submerged 'floaters' can be anywhere. Ask Rex Chambers (Smith lake guide and Phoenix owner) about his experience with one just under the surface.
The prop went down his buddy, flipped over and climbed up and over him. They we extremely fortunate that they were able to live and or recover with few lasting implications.
They were traveling 50mph in familiar water......

The day I picked my 919 up from Freedom marine there was a cooper and silver boat that had hit a sumerged log at 50mph and it thru the engine into the boat. Wish I coild figure out how to load pictures. This was back in fall of 2014. I just missed a landscaping timber on Eufaula last week.
That's crazy. I didn't know the engine could come into the boat from the back

It has happened many times and quite a few fatalities from it.

Watched the install video and it sttaches to the to top mounting bolts. So first question that hit my brain was what about motor and boat warranties? Both get pretty fickle when you start adding things to motor mounts. My second question was, if you are hitting something hard enough to flip a motor onto your deck (something in my 30 plus years of boating and living next to two prominent lakes Ive NEVER heard of happening btw), is that cable really going to hold anything? Seems to me it has the potential to add even more stress to those top bolts in that situation and perhaps cause more not less problems. Jm2c

"We often see U.S. Coast Guard Boating Accident Report Database (BARD) reports in which an outboard was torn from or broke off the transom. Some of these outboards sink, while others remain attached by cables, hoses, and/or fuel lines. In some portion of these instances, the outboard strikes a submerged object and actually flies up / flips up and lands in the boat. As a result, people in the boat can be struck by the outboard or cut by its still rotating propeller."
In these cases the leash would do nothing. Its attached with the same bolts as the motor. Hence motor falls off so does the leash. Seen one boat on Truman lose a motor and it continue to run being held by the steering cables etc. However they had just installed a jackplate and didnt torque the bolts right. It didnt reenter the boat but they didnt strike anything either. They were just running open water when it fell off.

I thought the same thing as your two posts. What what iv seen looking like the motor is breaking off the motor bracket. The motor bracket is still bolted to the transome. I found the pics of the incident Hanks was talking about
