Now if you'd of had a Johnson, they already got a bracket made for that on the motors.

I's just gotta pick.

The Merc has a flip bracket for the full trim position on the port side of clamp, just not the 1/2 trimmed position. LOL. It tends to bounce when fully trimmed IMO. X2 Great Idea.

Nice one Ozzie! Always thinking. Yamaha makes something similar for thier ginormous f350 to keep them on the transom. The Miracle bar sounds good to me. I think Michele is making plans to go tonite. I can't drink too much though. I got some driving to do tomorrow.

Come on down!!..good news is Google says 662 miles @ 12 hrs....somethin' tells me you'll beat that...

Rob & Destroyer...probably not beyond my capabilities to leave those supports in place...but considering releasing trailer/transom straps, screwin' in plug, I don't THINK it'll happen...but ya never know what might wiggle by and distract ol' Oz...

reel, i thought it was sch 40 3/4" or 1".
i have those heads hooked up to a solenoid valve & old irrigation timer and when i come in i hit it with a 10 minute rinse, i also have an injector to run a rinse of salt away.

When I'm at the beach, my concern is the time the trailer spends in the ramp's parking lot, baking in the hot sun and that salt eatin' away while I'm out in the boat...a set-up like yours, attached to the trailer w/a reservoir for water in the truck...a pump that plugs into the trailer light plug would solve that...then have a hose connect for when ya get back home w/the injector for the salt away...just thinkin out loud...anyway, I like your setup!!..beats hell outta bendin & squatin around the trailer w/a hose!!...

great minds think alike, i am actually working on a system that uses an old bladder tank as a reservoir. it will hold about 3-4 gallons under pressure. when you leave the house, fill the tank from a garden hose until it goes static, about 45 psi, close a ball valve on the manifold, pump the top of the tank with about 70 or 80 psi of air. when you get through with launch and park trailer, just open ball valve and let system bleed down. no power to worry about and really nothing worth stealing. i am going to try and get it mounted this spring, i'll post some pics.

you can use the mister hoses from Lowes, they are supposed to be installed on a fan, just tie wrap them to the trailer frame, hook it to the water bladder and let it spray
