Review on Newsmarts 315LB Heavy Duty Outboard Motor Stand: Sturdy Engine Carrier Cart For Safe Boat Motor Storage And Transport by Chakravarthi Ladner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap and cheap best in my review

The stand seems ok for a kicker. But I’m a bit apprehensive about setting my 265# Honda 50 on it. The bolts (all but 2) are 10-15 mm too long. That and a hex head would have been a better choice. Spent too much time measuring looking for the four 60mm bolts to find I was sent six 65mm bolts. The axel sticks out so far it is a tripping hazard. I cut 3.5 inches off that and drilled a new cotter key hole. The front castors do not turn after oiling. Good price, Harbor Freight quality, horrid instructions (one page)

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • Poor quality. No instructions. Very flimsy, even with a 75-pound, eight-horse Mercury outboard.
