[C320-list] FW: Securing outboard engine and gasoline

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Scott,



You can see how my 5hp OB is attached here...

http://www.catalina320.com/gallery/album92/DCP_2967

Bracket used is the West Marine #WMM-1

I recommend a short length of vertical tubing and the Tee fitting, otherwise the bracket will pivot on the horizontal rail.



Although the OB has an internal tank, I tend to use the external tank which I keep in the dingy. In the rare case where I carry spare gasoline on board, I keep it in the anchor locker.

Subject: [C320-list] Securing outboard engine and gasoline



I'm in the market for an outboard for a dinghy and possibly for one of <br>the Honda 2000 generators that Orlando is keen on.  Questions:  Where do <br>others secure their outboards when not on the dinghy?  Do the Johnson or <br>Edson mounting brackets work well on the stern rail of a 1999 vintage <br>320?  What kind of weight limit are we talking about to use these?  <br>Also, where do others store a spare gas can on board?<br><br>Scott Thompson<br>Surprise, 653<br><br><br>
