Outdrive Stand

[Steel Outlawed]

For those of you take your own drives off, you need some place to store them. Well I have just what you need.

I have made some heavy duty versions of a drive stand instead of the lite weight versions you see out there. This stand is made of 1 1/2" square tubing then fully mig welded and then powder coated with a semi gloss black powder. We used heavy duty 3" swivel caster and the top rails have a rubberized non-slip tape, to prevent the drive from sliding off the stand.

We are selling these for $149.99 plus shipping. These can be shipped UPS so the shipping charges are reasonable. E-mail me with any questions.

Looks well done and not a bad price. I will keep this in mind. Not sure if I am going to pull mine myself in spring or not.

I'm thinking about adding a couple accessories like a place to hold a drain pan underneath the drive and a parts bin to put all the bolts, spacers, and tools for the same price.

I was going to inquire about that as well. May I also suggest flat stock to add the two other bolt holes for the wheels.

It appears that it is bolted in three spots - probaly not gonna need that extra steel and effort for one more bolt - just my opinion.

That is correct, each caster has three bolts. Believe me they are not coming off. I used this one as a skateboard the other day, no problems with the casters.

I did think of something else today I might add a peice of thread rod that you could use to store the prop. Opinions anyone?

1) add parts bin for bolts, spacers, tools, etc.
2) circular band to hold drain pan and include drain pan
3) threaded rod to store prop w/ wing nut to secure

Hey buddy,

What a wonderful Christmas present that would make. LOL

But seriously, I'll take one with the upgrades you listed. Let me know when it's finished and I'll pick it up.

I agree, they would be good Christmas gifts you should buy 20 and give them to all your boating buddies.

OK...... I just picked up my drive stand and I am impressed. This thing looks like Lockheed manufactured it. Beautiful welds, solid construction throughout, and very nice paint. I have not set my drive on it yet as the upper and lower cases are still split but I can't wait to roll it around fully loaded. I also haven't decided where to attach the prop mount just yet, but I fully expect to store the prop here just for the cool factor. Nice job, Jeff. If anyone is in the market for a drive stand, you won't be disappointed with one of these.

You know what would really make this the "cats' meow???...add a small hydraulilc jack that will raise and lower the rails where the drive sits. I have a friend that has one like that. It is pretty neat because you dont have to mess with the trailer tongue jack. All you need to do is have the trailer reasonably level and any fine adjustments that need to be made...just jack it up or lower it a hair. If you come up with one that would have a range in vertical travel height of...say 15 inches to 30 inches...I want one...with the casters of course.

How about this.

Here is a picture of the Outdrive Jack. It works great, I used it today to install the drives on the boat. This is the prototype, and I only have one minor thing to change before they are ready to sell. I should have them ready to go next week. These will be $299.99 plus shipping.
