I love projects!

I'm looking at building a stand to support the lower unit when I'm doing maintenance items. Looking for ideas...
I have an outboard in my case, but the stand should be similar for the lower unit.

What do you have or what have you built? Let's share!

If you do a search for previous posts you might come across some info. One of the stands that others have used/suggested is fro Stumpy's:

Looks like a pretty reasonably priced stand. IIRC, others have used a stand from Harbor Freight as a starting point.

Others will likely chime in with ideas,

Good luck!!

Mine's out in the shed, found this picture with a quick search. Take a 2'x8'x8 and cut it into 2' sections. Leave a 3/4" gap in between two of them, and make an H shape.

Put it on casters and there you go. Cheap but works great.
