Hi all,
I am looking to buy or make an outboard bracket for my Cub camper trailer.
Does anyone have any details, suggestions, or photo's of designs that they have seen or used? At the moment I am looking at carrying it on the draw bar.

Thanks
Chris.

Don't go through such deep water and you won't need an outboard on your camper trailer

Hey Chris
Go have a look at a Trak Shak, they have an outboard attachment thingy up the front.

Hi Chris - we took a length of 2x2 RHS; welded a 6" horizontal piece onto the top; screwed 6" x 2" masonite onto that; and welded the inverted L onto the rear bumper.

Held the outboard no problem at all - HOWEVER - pieces vibrated off the outboard by the time we got home from Coongie Lakes.

Probably not suited to off road tracks. Corrugations loosen all sorts of things.
