Stand / Mount for Dinghy Outboard

[KnotConnected]

Hey!

I'm contemplating scooping up an 8' inflatable with a 5-10HP outboard as a dinghy for the Larson. I have davits on my not-large swim platform that can be used to secure a dinghy, and I could also flip it atop the bow for storage, but I'm not entirely sure where or how I'd stick the outboard when underway. Spilling of gas and oil would be a concern, as would it's security in rough seas when its stowed.

Does anyone know of any small or collapsible mounts for a small outboard? or have any other creative solutions?

Make one to hang off the transom rails. However most small OB's can seal up the fuel system really well for storage/transport. You can also get a lehr propane motor

Something like this mounts on the rails. One on Ebay right now - http://www.ebay.com/itm/KICKER-PAD-...ash=item33b0b0fa86:g:Ds0AAOSw5dNWqPKP&vxp=mtr



It might not be a good fit on your bow rails.
