(More customer reviews)I bought this motor mount to use on Sevylor Fish Hunter 360 inflatable boat and Minn Kota Endura motor (36 pounds of thrust).First, the plastic plugs that were at the end of steel pipes broke and fell out when I inserted the bent ends of the pipes into the holes in the boat (near oars). Because the plugs broke, it was not possible to put them back. Next, the transom board was too low and it was not possible to install motor on it - the motor screws were interfering with the handle on the boat. I even went to Home Depot, bought a bigger plywood board, made holes it in and finally attached the motor. Finally, I tried it on the water. When in full thrust the motor noticeably bends the steel pipes holding the transom board. At any attempt to row the bent ends of the pipes come out of the holes near the oar mounts and the whole system gets lose. It is not possible to insert them back without completely removing the transom board with the motor, i.e. it cannot be done on the water. The pipes and plastic brackets used to adjust the length of the pipes seem very fragile, however they did not break yet. I wonder what would happen if someone uses it with more powerful gas motor...

About Sevylor
The road from Sevylor's founding in 1948 to its current role as the dominant supplier of a wide range of inflatables--such as kayaks, boats, and towables--is a long one, with plenty of original inventions and innovations along the way. Established in a city suburb of Vitry, France, by electronics engineer Berco Grimbert, Sevylor originally built electrical accessories, with a sideline business dedicated to using its high-frequency welding machines to manufacture PVC consumer goods. The first inflatable to receive rave notice was a small bathtub called the Dou Dou. Perfect for postwar France, the inflatable tub was portable, convenient, practical, easy to clean, durable, and, best of all, affordable. After moving to the picturesque Alsatian village of Buhl, the company expanded into developing valves, pumps, boats, inflatable pools, and a variety of water toys. In the ensuing years, Sevylor first developed a PVC that had "memory"--meaning it could return to its original shape regardless of temperature--and then made history by releasing an inflatable pool mattress with a headrest and circular pockets. In 1986, the company invented the Ski Bob, a real turning point in the evolution of the towables business. Today, Sevylor's innovative designs include tenders, hunting and fishing boats, specialty boats and kayaks, towables, snow tubes, air beds, pool floats, river tubes, swim and sport rings, and more.
