Now I have a yard arm jack,1 roll around stand from bim marine and this fixture coming,when I put my spare drive back together or the occassional customers drive I'll be sporting wood,:party-smiley-020: Smitty

I bought it from http://specialtymotorsmfg.com/marine_repair_stands.htm
but if you really wanted to mount one on a engine stand the
kerr 400tr and kerr 400tm might be worth looking at because the use a 2" pipe

I was torn as to which one to get,I have 3 bench top holders for fixtures that are round for transmission holders but all the outdrive holders were 1/2" bigger in dia so they wouldn't slip in so I chose the specialty motor's because of how rugged it looks. It showed up friday this week,its pretty stout,Smitty

The Kerr, would work great for a standard engine stand.....but mine are gear reduction heads that do not come apart. However, I could take the specialty motors drive holder and take the square tube thing off of it and bolt the round piece to my ears on my gear drive head. That would be SAWEEET! I will snap a pic later and show you what I am talking about.

I know what your saying now,adapt the bench mount to the plate that the arms bolt to on the engine stand head thats gear driven,Smitty
