Outboard mounting

someone driving around Adelaide has an 80 series with two wheel carriers on the back - two of the individual ones. One has a spare on it, and the other has a wooden mount board for his outboard - not sure how heavy/big it is, but it works well for him.

Ciao for now
Andrew.

I reckon outside the vehicle is best due to fuel smells etc. I'll soon be doing the same thing, but will be mounting some brackets on the draw bar for it. Guess it depends on your ball weight and what can be done there.

Other places I've seen them are on a bracket on spare wheel carrier (as you have suggested), on a bracket on the back of the CT. A swing away bracket if necessary. I think KK does this as an option.

Have you bought the boat trailer yet? There is a 40KG aluminum one available, which will save a bit of weight. This is the one I'll probably get. If you then store the wheels somewhere else (under the boat mounted on the boat loader?), you can cut the draw bar weight from the trailer to about 25KG.

Some ideas anyway.

Straight on the bullbar, in between the fishing rod holders, and the big weapon 5 storey UHF antenna!!!

Connect it up to some water, and a radiator, fire it up, and drive around Sydney. You will be amazed, by the amounts of people who will ensure that they are right out of your way. This will act as some sort of force field / shielding device, and protect you from pedestrians and Hyundai drivers alike.

The rotation of the blades will mess with speed camera devices, and if you are driving at certain speeds, and the rotation of the prop is correct, then you will possibly experience a new phenomenon, whereby you will be creating an eddie, in front of your vehicle, which is almost a vacuum. This, as well as allowing you to increase speed, and fuel economy, will also act as a sound portal, which simply is a black hole for sound, like the sound of your engine, the sound of your tyres, so again, the environment benefits.

If you replace the prop with a stainless steel prop, then at nightime, the lights will play on the spinning prop, and it will act as a mirror ball, giving you that whole Saturday Night Fever feeling, as well as having excellent light dispersal properties, which have a resonance, being able to be measured in hertz.

So, there you go.

Or make a cantilevered stand, which allows, by way of a gas strut, to lower and raise it into the rear of the vehicle.

Do you have any pics of how you attached your foldup trailer to the drawbar?

I am working with this issue - Little Bulldog trailer. Would seem to similar weight - so would be keen to hear your thoughts & experiences.

Try a duel wheel carrier, but @ $2300 + $150 for the bracket it is $$$$$.
I did this to round oz to aviod fumes but if you only using it a few times it's a big cost.

Tryed to add Pic but wont let me from my Pics. Have a look @ my Rig, I'll try it there.

Uncle,

When you have a Camper Trailer designed like mine, its easy.
Sits right next to the ExplorOz Wheel cover:-)

!MPG:10!

Uncle,

How about,



Kind regards
