Outboard Stand

Saw the thread about making an outboard stand located at

Other than physical dimensions would this design work for a 115 Suzuki 2 stroke or would it need to be beefed up some?

For a 115 I think i would be using 2 inch square steel stock.That stand in the photo's is to lightweight

Re: Outboard Stand

Another option is to get an inexpensive automotive engine stand and modify it slightly to hold an outboard.

I have a 150HP Evinrude (w/25" shaft) hanging on one of those Harbor Freight ones right now. It seems to work ok. The angle of the stand is sort of backwards compared to a boat transom, however, it works well to support the motor and makes it easy to work on.
