3. Flip upside down and attach the 6 casters with the 1.5 inch screws. 4. Cut 2 33inch pieces to create the arms. 5. Attach 2 30 inch pieces to the top of both arms. This will be where you mount the outboard. 6. Cut 2 21 inch pieces and attach them to the front of the 33 inch arm pieces under the 2 30 inch cross pieces.
This stand is fairly inexpensive and seems to be really strong. 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. It took me about 3 tries to get one that I really liked and so my prints or of my final product. I have a 1979 Chrysler 55hp O/B sitting on it and ...
Re: Need to build outboard motor stand: Any plans, pics, suggestions? Here is a pic of my stand I built a few years ago. I sandwiched 2x4s together for the legs, used 1/2 inch ply for strengh, and used 2x4s for the "transom". It sets on swiveling castors. The only thing I bought were the castors, the wood was scrap I had laying around.
Re: All steel home built outboard stand...easy to build with a 110v Mig welder. Pics* Thanks, I clamped the motor directly to those middle two uprights. 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. The motor I built it for is a mercury 1150 thunderbolt.
Re: starting an outboard on a stand. tashasdaddy said: if you are speaking of the 50hp evinrude, you need a water source, (hose) and a set of Muffs, the stand has to be substantial, as there will be a lot of torque. connect the electrical and start it up. do not rev it above 1500 rpms, above this can cause damage. Yes, it is the 50HP evinrude.
Here is the stand as built with the added features . . . front stiffener, cross bar, casters. The casters 2-1/2" casters are rated for 175 lbs. each. So, this should be able to handle even the mid-size outboards. The overall cost of this stand is: $12 in wood, $10-15 in hardware, $30 in casters. So, under $60.
Re: Need to build outboard motor stand: Any plans, pics, suggestions? This stand looks great and I will build one in the next couple of weeks. It looks like a large Johnson or Evinrude on the stand so it can hold some weight, that is good. Thanks so much for these demensions and the picture. I plan to make the following changes: 1.

Re: Outboard Motor Stand? looks like a decient design for smaller outboards however i would sugest 1 upgrade.instead of using nails or scrws at the hinge location i would use a length of allthread.and put washers between the wood.i think it would last a but longer and work a little easier after all the water makes this area swell up. just a thought.
Re: Outboard Motor Stand If the outboard has clamps that you can tighten by hand then no, you don't need to drill. If the outboard does not have clamps or the transom bracket does not go all the way over the transom and extend down a few inches, then you need to bolt it. Personally, I recommend bolting it anyway if hand clamps are not present.
