Outboard trolley sack truck mods

I spent time tinkering to hopefully make life easier getting the outboard in and out of the car tailgate area. The modified sack truck has grown some extra wheels.




Here is a side view of what it looks like, the top set of wheels just slide out of the side handles, the side handles are removable via the black knobs if need be and the stand fits nice under my water tub with the motor tilted to get over the top tub lip. It still has sack barrow use if you park the outboard elsewhere.




I now have to cut some alloy checkerplate or ply to cover the boot floor as the spare wheel well is only covered by carpet and some sort of thin backing board. I dont think 28kg on 2 wheel tracks is going to do the present carpet any favours.

A couple of adjustments and its finished, wheel it to the car, old carpet over the bumper, big top wheels go over the sill onto the floor as you lift the light end up and roll it in. Tuck carpet over trolley and breath. No sweat.

This is my one. It also is perfect for transporting the F-RIB.
