OK...I go to file that pic is in...click on ''file''...no ''save as'' drops down...I even tried e-mailin' it to myself, which assigns jpeg, but that didn't work...oh, woe is me... :'(...

Didn't MJ say he was puttin' 'em in ''Paint shop'', then to PB??...

I'd be quicker printin' hard copies and snail mailin' 'em out ::)

Re: Outboard Motor Stand
 

Alright...here's the freakin' motor stand!!...good grief ::)

Anyway, Bygrace...hope this works for ya...casters are optional(already had those)...be SURE you make it TALL enough; this one for 20'' shaft only including height of casters...if no casters and it's gonna be around for a while, then 2 x 6s should be ''treated''...

Thanks Guys for the tech-help...at PB I wasn't ''browsing'' the file prior to ''submit''...details, details, details... :P...

Re: Outboard Motor Stand
 

Thanks, Pipe...if I don't accomplish anything else today, THAT was a major milestone!! ;) ;D ::)...

WTG rap, we should start calling you Bill Gates now :D

Stand looks very good, nice job. Is there any flex on the 2x6's with the motor hangin'? Not to criticize your work but one thing I may have done different would be to have swapped the 4x6's with the 2x6's. The main weight load is right where the 4x6's are sitting on the 2x6's. The 2x6's on end (vertical) would be plenty strong and the 4x6's on the flat would carry the load better. If there's no flex it shouldn't be a problem, just an observation. ;)

Re: Outboard Motor Stand
 

Good eye, Tin, but no flex in the 2 x 6s due to 2 x 4 angles distributing load across the span...mentally turn the stand upside-down...easier to see how w/3 attachment points, spread along the length of the 2 x 6 doesn't allow flex... ;) :D...

Thats not good enough. You are going to have to submit ANOTHER picture of it upside down for demo purposes. ;D
