Steve ,

I put a anchor holder on my stern seat , the vertical bar in the back . I thought that I would make a 1/4 " metal plate that would fit in the anchor holder , then I could clamp the motor to the plate .

then bunji it down and hope it doesnt fall off ,

I never made it but it should work .

I used a small piece of teak and a couple SS "U" bolts. One U bolt on the horizontal part of the aft rail and the other U bolt on the vertical part of the rail.


(picture was taken on our Cumberland Island cruise with Fleet 25, motoring through Jacksonville Florida).

Thanks for great suggestions to everyone. Looks like I am gonna have to make my own vs getting something off the shelf. And I got some great ideas from your web sites for other projects. Your guys are very ingenious.
