Keep It Simple Outboard Motor Rack

Create a simple, no construction storage rack using a 2x4 and shelving you already have in your storage room or shop.

(Hint: turn the picture clockwise to see it properly. The motor is hanging right side up like it would be from your boat transom.)

Locate a Heavy Duty Storage Rack

I used a rack that we already had in our storage room. We had previously purchased a gorilla rack that we use to store stuff on.

Cut a 2x4 to Size.

Cut a 2x4 to fit between the end frames of the rack. I cut mine to 17.5 inches after measuring the depth of the rack.

2x4 Becomes the Hanger for Your Motor

Place the 2x4 between the frame on the end of the rack. Make sure it is high enough to accommodate your motor.

Voila! Go Ahead and Hang Your Motor

Hook your motor off the 2x4 so it hangs along side your rack.
