I Think I Got Something

[reelapeelin]

Been commiserating over how to support the Merc while towing...I'll never trust the T&T after a friends failed and dragged his 225 V-Max 75 miles down the road...

Anyway, took shaft from Minn Kota trolling motor and cut two lengths...the hollow center fits right down over the two extended rams...drop the motor down on the new extensions...and for good measure, a sturdy bungee strap around the back of the midsection the make sure no bouncing(that's what caused failure of 1st attempt)...

Two of these

One on

Then the second one

Both in place

Now drop the motor down and wrap the strap around back, hooked on both sides

I think this is gonna do it

Rode to Lake Hartwell and back yesterday(yeah, Spare...I went FISHIN' again!!...LOL!!)...1 1/2 hrs each way w/plenty of those SC smooth(NOT) road-to-bridge transitions to test it and all in place when back home...

She might make the trip back to NJ for the next Get-Together...I kinda liked that....gotta get back to the Miracle Bar!!...
