Thanks for the replies guys.

I guess the consensus is that it won’t take the stress.

Back to the drawing board.

Reckon it’ll rip ya seat off and end up in Davy Jones Locker...even with 2hp. :no Outrigger solution been done before, although bolted off transom. https://f-ribsandsibs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1353&p=13529&hilit=Auxiliary+mount#p13529 Thanks for the link, that is a great setup he has built!

Hi guys, I was thinking of a way to mount the little 2hp auxiliary engine I take out with me on my T38. I thought of carrying some 3x2, and if and when needed bolting it through one of the bench seats so it protrude out past the tubes and the prop would be clear of the tubes. This would only be to g...

I emailed the Russian wheels vendor and asked what load they can take, they can take 130kg. At first this bothered me as the other design can take 120kg and mine have ended up wonky.

I can get the bow trolley and transom wheels for a similar price to new Honwave versions, especially if...

Houston, we have a solution. Well, to be more precise, the Russian’s have. Have a look on this recent thread; https://f-ribsandsibs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=4063 had a flat set with a similar catch design on a past sib and they would sometimes collapse if bounced. Have you managed to fit the...

Have a look on this recent thread; https://f-ribsandsibs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=4063 I hadn’t read that, thanks Harrison.

Yes, you are probably right Gray. If I knew one way or the other I could build a transom fitting that I could rotate if drifting side on. I’m not sure if I explained how it works very well. The transducer has six sounders inside it, this is how it gives the view of the seabed you can see in the pict...
