This is a handtruck converted to double as an outboard stand. Very convenient for servicing and flushing the outboard. The steps to make this:- measure height from tip of motor to top of transom bracket. Add an inch or two for clearance and take into account that you don't want the outboard motor mounting bolts to interfere with the hand truck.
- take measuring tape to hand truck and find where you'd like to have the transom mount and how long it should extend to match the hand truck well.
- I used three layers of 3/4" plywood, laminated together with wood glue and the weight of a car. The plywood is bolted to some scrap pieces of teak behind the vertical bars of the hand truck. I used wing nuts for easy removal. Everything was sanded down a bit and got some urethane spray paint.
It works great. In the photo you can see a motor being flushed by sitting it in a large bucket.
Very cool Michiel!
ReplyDeleteIt is creative thin Michiel, really great work. It is nicely done. After this thing i can understand that if we use crab properly, then we can make anything from it.

ReplyDeleteDo you want to buy a durable and long-lasting dolly? Then I'll recommend you to buy stainless steel dolly. Because this dolly is durable and long-lasting than other dollies. Further, this dolly is also ideal for heavy-duty.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Dolly Parton has proven pretty durable and long lasting. More durable and long lasting that your dollies, I bet, Mr Dolly Man.
