Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've searched the forum but it's not showing any posts on motor stands so i thought i'd start one.

I'm not real keen on buying a stand cause they all look pretty exy. I've got a merc 25hp that i need to pull off and store while i'm leccy fishin.

So i was thinking of building a stand for it.

Who's got some ideas?? ;) Any pics of you're own stands would be a great help so i can just rip off your designs :P

Cheers

Nat

guess u will need a bigger ,better ,heavier trolley for a 25.

the trolley not bent from the outboard .

from putting a 6 cyc falcon motor on it .

oh and the kids using the trolleys to race around the yard .

You are right, the plate at the bottom is not ideal to hold it upright.

I had a 15hp I used to mount on a removalist trolley as we wheeled it from the caravan down to the tinnie in the water, but the plate at the base of the trolley had to have a piece of timber put under to make the trolley have a bit of a backwards lean due to the weight hanging forward and high up on the trolley.
