Hello All,
I just purchased a 1977 Pirateer so I joined this group hoping to gain some knowledge. I have never owned a sailboat before and have never sailed. I am sure I will have some rigging questions soon but for now I was wondering if anyone had a Pirateer with the outboard motor bracket. I am wondering what it looks like and how it attaches to the boat. I anyone has some pictures they could post, that would be great. I would like to have this option and since I doubt I will find one, I would like to fabricate one. I would like to be able to mount an electric trolling motor in case it is needed.
Thanks,
NewPirateer owner

Thanks for the welcome CaptainScott! I already downloaded the PDF files you have for the Pirateer. Good information but only a brief mention of the accessories that were available and no pictures of the outboard motor bracket. That is o.k. though because like I mentioned in a follow up post I decided to make a bracket that mounts on the gudgeon since I don't think I will be using the rudder and the trolling motor at the same time.

I did make a bracket like this and it worked but I wouldn't recommend doing it that way. When you are not using the trolling motor it takes up space in the boat and tends to get in the way. I am going to have to come up with a bracket for the back of the boat like the optional one that Chrysler had for it. I wish I knew what one of those looked like and how they work, but I will come up with something.
