I want to build an Outboard Motor Stand to store and repair my 4 HP engine
when needed.
At this time, I do not have any set plan. I would appreciate any tips,
ideas or plans.
TIA

Put up a "Yo Scotty" over in rec.boats and you may get a good answer.

I built a wooden one out of 2" x 4" lumber. Holds two outboards but is big
& awkward to move around.
If I thought the Johnson stand in this ad was as good as
advertized.....................

Why wouldn't a simple sawhorse work for a small engine like a 4 hp?
Saw horse brackets of various types are cheap, and so are 2X4's.
You can toss it if you have no further use for it, instead of storing
it.

I like the models shown at the ref: website. The ideas are great. Make I
can use an electrcian tube bender and 3/4" Dia. thin wall conduits and have
a go at it.

Here's mine: http://blizzard.zmm.com/g20/outboard.jpg
Nothing fancy, just a sturdy little sawhorse, sized to fit my outboard,
built from materials I had on hand.

Thanks for the kick in the butt I needed to get going with the
2X4s...

Here's what Scotty had to say over in rec.boats:

"Well a quick idea would be those folding sawbucks at HomeDepot or
whereever. Something like this just add wood. Depending on how big the
engine is, I might add a length across the bottoms of the legs that
stick out on the heavy side of the stand... Or he could just do what
Loogie and I do, make your kids hold the engine all season long if
they want to eat"

Good luck!

I designed my sawhorse to straddle a large tupperware tub for test runs,
btw.

My apologies to all those of you who've scoured the Tupperware catalog to no
avail, it's actually it's a Rubbermaid tub...
