Electric Motor Storage

[Terry H]

Hey guys

I have been storing my motorguide on the end of a table in the garage, but that really eats up a lot of space.

How does everyone store their electric motors when not on the boat?

Is there a wall mounting bracket available?

I don't fancy storing it in the boat as it would have to sit on the floor and not be locked up.

just make a bracket like this:

Thanks guys. 

 

I should have mentioned though - it's a quick release bow mount

Use Rayke's suggestion and add a quick release plate to it.

Thanks guys.

I think it's a 60" shaft, so not sure it'll fit on the trolley, unless shaft points up into the air but then I'll have clearance issues with the ceiling.

sounds like the solution might be to pop the quick release onto a bracket like what danny9 linked

 

Edit:

Now that I'm thinking about it, probably best bet to DIY a frame to achieve the same outcome as a fixed version of the trolley, albeit at the necessary heights.

Thanks guys

whynot just stand in the stowed position upright against the wall with the weight on the skeg and tie it against the wall? I leave mine on the boat all the time with an abloy padlock to secure it. They would need an angle grinder to get it off the quick release

cheers
