Outboard Motor Stand

Bygracealone · #1 03-06-2006, 11:47 PM

Can anybody tell me where I migh find info as to how to build a motor stand suitable enough to hold (2) 200HP V6 Suzuki's? I searched the net, but nothing came up.

I saw what Skools did; that was sweet, but I don't have the room or the desire to build a whole fence :P

hey brother i built one out of steel on wheels do you want to see it? it's welded together out of scrap metal i had lying around. it's built to hold all 20, 25, and 30 inch shaft motors.

hey man i didn't hear from you today what happened lol? can i pay it all now with paypal? will you tow it this way for a fee? tag not needed just have the title to say you just got it. not a problem.

I put one together w/2-4x6s (upright) w/a 2x12 positioned horizontaly at top(thru-bolted w/ 1/2'' bolts and washers)...attach bottom of uprights to two flat 2x6s and use 2x4s angled from uprights to flats for bracing...USE 3'' deck-screws to attach all...good thing about using screws is they are very strong and can be easily removed to dismantle stand when no longer needed... ;) :D...

Thanks guys, I think I will give Reel's idea a shot.

Reel, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of one of your creations, would you?

Hey Oz, after plugging in your camera, click on the start icon, then click on "my computer" since you connected to the usb port it will show as another drive or storage, click on till you get your pics

Not only is he the head of the NSFC but he is a technical wizard as well And a very distinguished man, or was that extinguished, I forgot what she said Franco ???

look at the file extension type. The file extension is usually at the end of the filename. An example would be "picture.jpeg" or "picture.jpg" where "picture" is what you've named it and ".jpeg" or ".jpg" is the file extension type. PB only works with certain filetypes and while I'm not sure of all the file types that PB works with, I know it works with jpeg files. So you might want to try opening the picture on your computer, click on file (upper left side), then click "save as" on the menu that dropped down, then when the window pops up where you name the file and choose the location to save it in, make sure the filetype below (right below where you named the file) says jpeg or jpg. There should be a drop down box that once you click it will give you some options. Hope that is a little clearer than muddy water! ;D
