Storage of boat engine

[BZMichael]

Need some tips and inspiration for boat motor storage in the garage!

I have some smaller 4hp motors that are not placed optimally, and I find the online alternatives too expensive..

You might be able to build something similar using an old dolly?

If you want wheels on it. Otherwise, it should be fairly easy to construct a stand on a sawhorse, for example.

How many engines are we talking about and should they be stored in the fall and taken out in the spring? Do they need to be moved around during the year? How should they be moved in and out of the garage?

Must they be stored together or can they be spread out?

There are many uncertainties in the question.

Our scout troop has small engines on a stand in a container where there are a couple of upright posts with a plank between, and then we carry them in and out.

If there are any 4 hp motors, you could probably just attach a beam somewhere and hang them over. But it depends on how the space looks, etc.

Build a sturdy, wide rack where you can hang them in a row, then you have a cart to move with.
