Making plans for the Bimini trip in March and need a dinghy motor mount. Was contemplating using a 4" wide 8" long 1.5" thick square block of teak. I plan to secure the teak block to the port wing seat using a couple small SS u-bolts. Anyone done anything like this? I'm always open to the great ideas you guys and gals have.

Thanks for posting the picture Suzie. I have also been thinking about how a motor mount could be fabricated.

Hey there, I attached a picture of Alan Therriens dinghy motor mount which he fashioned out of Oak.

He and I spoke about this some time back in 04. (Glad I saved the photo) At the time neither of us could find a manufactured model that would work on the 250, still can't, so homemade is the way to go. Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks Suzie, just what I needed to get me started. I think I can glean some ideas from that picture.
