The Raider series of outboard motors are dedicated to the Marine Raiders established by the United
States Marine Corps during WW II and are said by many to be the first United States special operations
force. Handpicked from the elite, these men were given specialized training and the best equipment.
They distinguished themselves during the conduct of clandestine amphibious landings, utilizing small
inflatable boats, operating behind enemy lines in direct support of combat operations in the Central
Pacific and Solomon Islands. Even though the Raiders were disbanded at the close of WW II the need for
specially trained warfighters and the requirements for specialized equipment did not. T
oday’s Special
Operations Forces (SOF) under the United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM) are expected
to conduct similar and far more demanding missions, to that end and with those warfighters in mind the
Raider OBM is specifically developed for SOF that routinely operate within the often unforgiving, highly
demanding, dynamic maritime environment.

The Raider, patent pending, Safety Jet can be purchased in a kit which retrofits a propeller drive
to a jet pump system. The Safety Jet was designed to improve safety for swimmers and divers in
both real-
world and training situations. The Safety Jet is excellent for “brown” water operations
where search and rescue operations routinely happen in which higher probabilities of striking
submerged objects exist. For coastal or beaching operations in unfamiliar waters it provides
additional protection from rocks or coral easily absorbing hits that could ruin propellers when
moving to and from a beach landing site.
•
Raider also provides a series of transom plates that are attached to the transom of the Combat
Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). The transom plates have single and dual motors configurations. The
transom plates provide centerline alignment and safety if the motor clamps loosen under
vibration. Specialty items like extended handles, extended fuel hose connections, outboard
motors carts and transportation cages are also available.
