BigDog Speaks

The motor I bought off Ebay for my boat arrived via UPS. Visually, it looked exactly like the pictures and I was pleased. This is an old motor so I wasn't hot to trot trying to start it since I figured it would need a few things. The first thing it needed was a stand so I could get it up off the floor where it was beginning to leak oil. I had some scraps in the shop (who doesn't?) and I commenced to build with them. A 2 x 6 at 18 inches would serve for the motor mount, 2 x 4's at 28 inches would be the uprights bolstered by some 2 x 3's for a bit of extra strength. Some more scrap 2 x 6 for legs which was attached to some ply that already had casters on it. Imagine that! A rolling outboard motor stand with no dollars out of pocket! That is my kind of project! Since i have once again dunked my digital camera, pictures will be added later. Right now is a great time to be working on your fishing and camping stuff so you are ready for the next outing, whenever that happens to be. Get outdoors, enjoy life, be happy!
