Boat Motor Stand Diy - Will definitely put this on my subscribed list. I pulled the motor off the boat today, mounted it on the stand, and wheeled it from the back yard through the house and into the garage. I put the casters with brakes on my stand. Any links to plans or description of simple design. Need to build a simple functional wood motor stand to hold two small outboards (6 and 9.5 hp). Looks like your little guy was a lot of help Yeah man, that merc looks great!
The motor i built it for is a mercury 1150 thunderbolt. When i put the outdrive back on the boat i will be putting a new tube on to allow for height adjustment. Position the motor as straight as possible, position steering arm to either end of the mounting plate until the bracket touches the plate. I put the casters with brakes on my stand.
Will definitely put this on my subscribed list. The only thing i bought were the castors, the wood was scrap i had laying around. The l arm would have to be measured to both lift the motor, but also swing to the stand so that the motor can be lowered to the middle of the stand transom bracket. I used [4] 2x4x96, [1] 2x6x96, [4] 3in casters (175 lbs capacity), [16] 5/16x1 lag screws and approximately [60] 2 1/2in deck screws. Maybe a larger motor with a cross brace on the main portion of the stand.
Here is my mercury 7.5 loaded onto the stand. Any links to plans or description of simple design. This stand is fairly inexpensive and seems to be really strong. Drill your mounting holes into the mounting plate using the mounting brackets on the motor as a template use the bolts and washers from the boat to mount the motor to the stand you're.

I made it high enough so that it can take a long shaft (20) motor as well as the short shaft. Need to build a simple functional wood motor stand to hold two small outboards (6 and 9.5 hp). I sandwiched 2x4s together for the legs, used 1/2 inch ply for strengh, and used 2x4s for the transom. Nice job with the diagrams and all.

The Outer Two Uprights Line Up With My Titl Brackets So I Can Test Everything On The.
Looks like your little guy was a lot of help This stand is fairly inexpensive and seems to be really strong. I couldn?t find any detailed instructions on how to build your own motor stand, but i did find plenty of pictures of stands people had built. Will definitely put this on my subscribed list.
I Put The Casters With Brakes On My Stand.
Position the motor as straight as possible, position steering arm to either end of the mounting plate until the bracket touches the plate. Also lots of reinforcement added. Here is a pic of my stand i built a few years ago. It sets on swiveling castors.
