Blemished Ketch Stern Motor Mount for Hobie Outback

Description

Blemished Ketch Stern Motor Mount for Hobie Outback (2019–Present)

This blemished Ketch Stern Motor Mount offers the same rock-solid design, strength, and protection as our standard mount, with purely cosmetic imperfections in the finish. Scratches, small marks, or minor anodizing inconsistencies may be present, but performance, fit, and function are completely unaffected.

The mount is engineered to protect one of the most vulnerable areas of your kayak by tying motor load directly into the rear carry handle. This spreads stress where it belongs instead of relying solely on the factory over-molded brass inserts, dramatically reducing the risk of hull fatigue or failure.

Repeated power-on and power-off cycles are brutal on stock mounting points. Over time, that stress adds up to cracks, loose inserts, and expensive repairs that keep you off the water. This mount is built to stop that before it starts—even if it has a few cosmetic battle scars already.
