Had some time and help from a SS shop to fabricate an out-of-the-way railing complete with mounting block for the dinghy's outboard motor.


Roland Orion, a local SS fabricator at work fabricating the railing as per my outline


The new railing blends in well with other stern modifications. Only two members are required complete with 3 fitting, a mounting plate and a little bit of teak to complete the outboard's mounting rail


Close-up of the rail


The 2.3hp Honda suspended leaving sufficient room to fully turn the C250 motor, tip it up or remove/service the motor.


Side view of the motor suspended next to the main engine with teak mounting block attached


The SS clamp-on fasteners allow for some adjustment if required.


The only problem is that for night sailing the stern light is somewhat blocked. A small price to pay for having the extra motor stored out-of-the-way and yet readily accessible

nice fit ,

I have alot on the back of our boat , the stern light was blocked on ours too .
we put a new light on a stern pole .

but maybe a battery powered led for a inflatable would work for a easy fix
