small old outboard in a car
My wife and I will be traveling to various harbors in Maine by car
this weekend with our inflatable dingy (deflated) and an old 2-horse power outboard engine. We will arrive somewhere, inflate the boat and spend a few hours cruising. It is a great way for us to see some beautiful places in a very short amount of time. The outboard is so old that it must be kept straight up or it tends to leak. My question is: any ideas on how to travel by car with an old outboard engine? In the past the car has smelled of gas. Is there any way to store it so that it can be left in the car without stinking up the place? |

As a bonus... with the utility trailer, you'll be able to build a stand so your outboard doesn't have to lay down on it's side.. see my setup for the bed of my Ranger pickup: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...boardstand.jpg |
