A transom mount has a transom mounting bracket and a leveling platform angularly adjustable relative to the transom mounting bracket. The leveling platform includes a vertical axis pintle, and a spring pin. Supported through the pintle onto the leveling platform is a carousel including rotary limit holes and a travel lock hole. The carousel generally spins freely about the pintle. However, when the spring pin is aligned with these carousel holes, it will automatically lock the carousel relative to the leveling platform. Supported on the carousel is a bell housing or other equivalent support having an engine coupling flange on one end and a long shaft coupler on the other. A set of tilt stop holes may be provided in combination with a tilt stop pin to control the maximum tilt of the bell housing and mud motor drive.

The adjustable transom mount of claim 2, wherein said pair of spaced shaft drive supporting plates further comprise a plurality of tilt stop holes; and further comprising a tilt stop pin configured to pass through at least one of said plurality of tilt stop holes to limit a maximum tilt of said bell housing relative to said leveling platform. 4. The adjustable transom mount of claim 1, wherein said pintle further rotates about a substantially vertical axis. 5. The adjustable transom mount of claim 1, further comprising: a spring pin;at least one rotary limit hole through which said spring pin is configured to selectively pass and thereby limit rotation of said carousel; anda travel lock hole through which said spring pin is configured to selectively pass and thereby prevent rotation of said carousel. 6. The adjustable transom mount of claim 5, wherein said carousel spins freely about said pintle until said spring pin aligns with at least one of said at least one rotary limit hole and said travel lock hole, said spring pin configured to automatically lock said carousel relative to said leveling platform when said spring pin aligns. 7. In combination, a boat hull, a shaft drive, and a transom mount configured to support said shaft drive upon said boat hull, said boat hull having: a transom;said shaft drive having:an engine,a shaft propeller, anda pivotal support generally balanced between said engine and said shaft propeller;said transom mount having:a transom mounting bracket configured to affix to said boat transom a leveling platform angularly adjustable relative to said transom mounting bracket;a fastener selectively securing said leveling platform to said transom mounting bracket;a pintle coupled to said leveling platform; anda carousel supported through said pintle onto said leveling platform, said carousel and said pintle supporting said shaft drive upon said leveling platform. 8. The combination boat hull, shaft drive, and transom mount of claim 7, further comprising: a pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates supported on said carousel;a shaft drive horizontal pivot support supported by said pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates; anda bell housing having an engine coupling flange on one end and a shaft coupler on the other pivotally coupled by said shaft drive horizontal pivot support to said pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates. 9. The combination boat hull, shaft drive, and transom mount of claim 8, further comprising: a plurality of tilt stop holes; anda tilt stop pin configured to pass through at least one of said plurality of tilt stop holes to limit a maximum tilt of said bell housing relative to said leveling platform. 10. The combination boat hull, long shaft drive, and transom mount of claim 7, wherein said pintle further rotates about a substantially vertical axis. 11. The combination boat hull, shaft drive, and transom mount of claim 7, further comprising: a spring pin;at least one rotary limit hole through which said spring pin is configured to selectively pass and thereby limit rotation of said carousel; anda travel lock hole through which said spring pin is configured to selectively pass and thereby prevent rotation of said carousel. 12. The combination boat hull, shaft drive, and transom mount of claim 7, wherein said carousel spins freely about said pintle until said spring pin aligns with at least one of said at least one rotary limit hole and said travel lock hole, said spring pin configured to automatically lock said carousel relative to said leveling platform when said spring pin aligns. 13. A transom mount, comprising: a transom mounting bracket;a leveling platform angularly adjustable relative to said transom mounting bracket and supporting a pintle and a spring pin;a carousel supported through said pintle onto said leveling platform and having rotary limit holes and a travel lock hole, and configured to generally spin freely about said pintle;said spring pin configured to automatically lock said carousel relative to said leveling platform when aligned with said rotary limit and travel lock holes;a pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates supported on said carousel and through a shaft drive horizontal pivot supporting a bell housing having an engine coupling flange on one end and a shaft coupler on another end distal to said one end. 14. The adjustable transom mount of claim 13, further comprising: a plurality of tilt stop holes in said pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates; anda tilt stop pin configured to pass through at least one of said plurality of tilt stop holes and thereby limit a maximum tilt of said bell housing and shaft drive relative to said pair of spaced apart shaft drive supporting plates.
