An outboard boat motor handling and storing apparatus which may be mounted in the back of a vehicle, i.e., pickup truck, van, sportwagon, etc. for the field handling, transporting and storing of an outboard motor. The apparatus comprises an elongated member which is mounted for translation between a stowed position within the confines of the vehicle to a deployed position where it extends beyond the confines of the bed of the vehicle and the lowered tail gate if the vehicle is a pickup truck; and motor attachment member which is attached to and rotates longitudinally relative to the elongated member, the attachment includes a base which pivots vertically relative to the elongated member attachment. With the elongated member in a deployed position, the motor is attached to the base, which is positioned perpendicular relative to the elongated member; the base member is then pivoted substantially parallel with that elongated member, and the motor attachment member is then rotated approximately 180°, positioning the motor along the elongated member. The motor is then secured to the elongated member at a second location. Various locks are included to prevent movement of the motor when stored.
