What I find interesting there is the engine still has the lugs at the back for storing in the tiller up position???
A throw back to the two stroke days maybe? But could be misleading!

Re: Boat, engine & age
Very cool! Wish I had thought to do that instead of using a typical engine mount. Looks like you can still flush the motor with your trolley?
We hauled our 4s in that position all of the time. Started right up and no issues since the instructions said it was acceptable.

Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Re: Boat, engine & age
Andy B, yes the lugs are still there but thats good cause whenever i lift the engine i use them & the handle the opposite side.
Paul B, the wheels do remove, the axles were made out of 2x25mm bolts, the wheel axle holes was 25mm & the box section internal size was 25mm (all have a couple of thou clearance) & are held in place with 2 split pins each side so all i have to do is remove the split pins & slide the axles complete with wheels out.

Re: Boat, engine & age
A remarkable feat of engineering Mitch. Good effort.

I'm not really a Hobbit, just look like one. Real name is "Andy".
