Following on from my last post. Does anyone know of a good carry case for a 5hp outboard that will protect it from any bumps or knocks preferably with padded sides.
If your handy with a needle and thread you could make one from some old beach towels.
I had some old towels earmarked for the bin - nowt wrong just that the wife didn't like the pattern.
Folded them in half (longways)and stitched them so they resembled two massive socks .
I pull them on over the power head and tie at the middle and bottom of the engine.
As they are doubled up they offer a great deal of protection for transporting the outboard in my car boot etc.
Cheap cheerful but no too pretty.
I'll take a pic of the engine and post one later for a laugh.
They are a bit late 80s possibly early 90s design.
Cracking, fluffy, absorbant big towels as well lol!
As promised here is a pic of the luvvly towels.
My tohatsu engine us 5 years old and still like new with no scuffs or scrapes.
I attribute that to the towels.
At least they were good enough for something lol!

Hmmm..you deserve a standing ovation for that photo Kaman. Your wifie was quite right too.. they are not pretty towels..but my curtains are not far off that pattern..and I dont mind them
We got them as a wedding gift from a great Aunt many years ago.
Only managed to dry my face on them couple of times tho.
She probably thot they were very tasteful back in the day.
Doubled up - they do make an exceedingly good engine cover which have no doubt prevented many a scratch and a bump to my Outboard over the years.
