News Release

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – EPCO Products, Inc., the original and only U.S. manufacturer of stainless steel bow and stern eyes, has purchased the MotorMate outboard motor locking system product line. EPCO will manufacture and market the MotorMate at their Fort Wayne, IN manufacturing facility.

The MotorMate outboard motor locking system will fit most Evinrude, Johnson, Mercury, Yamaha and other outboard motors. MotorMate provides stability to the outboard motor's transom, steering cables and hydraulics during trailer transporting of boat and motor.

The MotorMate's construction sets the standard in today's market place. All MototMate models' metal components are made of marine grade stainless steel. This is important in fresh water conditions and especially important in salt water conditions.

In addition to marine stainless steel hardware, EPCO manufactures the Fish'n Rail system. The Fish'n Rail system is offered as individual stainless steel components that may be assembled to meet the needs of disabled or physically impaired anglers and boaters for the specific configuration of their boat. It is designed to last the lifetime of the boat and conforms to American with Disabilities Act specifications.

EPCO's long history and reputation in the marine industry is built into every MotorMate outboard motor locking system.
