Abstract

See full text

A method for storing and/or transporting outboard marine motors utilizes a rack having a rigid, substantially planar, horizontal base with parallel horizontal channels for insertion of fork lift tines. The base supports a pair of upright opposing frames, each frame in turn supporting a respective motor mounting beam. Preferably the frames and base are made of metal, while the motor mounting beams comprise a plywood plank with a metal sheath. At least two outboard motors can be mounted to each beam. Then a forklift is used to lift a fully loaded rack and load it onto a trailer or other carrier vehicle. A multiplicity of loaded racks are transported to a shipping destination. At the shipping destination, the outboard motors are removed from the racks. The empty racks are then returned to the point of origin.
