Nice suggestion. the welded angles are to the elite only, the guys that have a welder. A simple wooden bracket does the job equally well. I need to combine your loader with a dolly as I can't do what you do: carry the motor from the transom to the loader. Your video inspired me to do a little thinking of how to attach your loader board to a wheeled assembly. Good job.

Super simple and works well. Thanks for the idea.

Awesome motor loader mate would love to see how your whole setup works looking at setting mine up now

[@ConceptAdventures]

Thanks for your comments. When say ‘whole setup’ works… are you referring to the loader?

[@theluckyseven3406]

@@ConceptAdventures yes you boat loader and boat it sell how you have it set up when in use

[@RedfishInc]

This gadget is very impressive but not as impressive as you picking up that 15 yammy and carrying it to the truck. Good on ya mate!

[@ConceptAdventures]

Thanks for your reply and yes I sure did have to put on a special face when lifting the yammy… it seems to get heavier every time I lift it out 🤣

[@dymo99]

I thought exactly the same. Most 15 hp are about 45kg, but what makes them awkward is the weight is all up the top 😀

Hello. I'm about to buy a 4 stroke Mercury 9.9hp. I always understood that for transport an outboard should be laid on its appropriate side. Is it all right to transport a motor like this then?

[@ConceptAdventures]

Mate thanks for your comments, I’m pretty sure it is as I’ve seen others locating their 4 stokes exactly like mine, but a simple phone to a dealer would definitely confirm this

[@SamuelLanghorn]

yes it is absolutely correct. Take a look at your manual where they tell you which sides are ok. Typically the only side that should not be used is the one with prop down. if you lost your manual you will easily find it online. nowadays they have sophisticated search tools for internet use.
