An apparatus is for supporting an outboard motor on a transom of a marine vessel. The apparatus has a transom bracket configured for fixed attachment to the transom; a supporting cradle that supports the outboard motor with respect to the transom bracket, wherein the supporting cradle is pivotable with respect to the transom bracket about a trim axis; and a trim actuator that is pivotally coupled to the transom bracket at a first trim actuator pivot axis and to the supporting cradle at a second trim actuator pivot axis. Extension of the trim actuator pivots the supporting cradle upwardly about the trim axis. Retraction of the trim actuator pivots the supporting cradle downwardly about the trim axis. The trim axis is located aftwardly of the first trim actuator pivot axis.
