My oil tank hold down broke, and I REALLY want to be on the water with my (new to me) boat, so a quick trip to the hardware store yielded this TEMPORARY ahem, modification, until the blue powdercoated tray arrives....

I don't know whether I'm proud I thought of it or embarrassed that I did it.

form follows function!! and you have a nice rack to dry parts on after replacing it...

I'd say proud. If anyone says anything about it, play the "McGiver card" and tell them to F.O..........and that's all I have to say about that.

If by McGyver card, you mean give them an emergency tracheotomy with a pocket knife and an ink pen tube, I'm in.... "Whoops, hit the vocal cords, my bad!"

your on the water how bad is that be proud its a good day
.

You got it fixed in time for the rain.......

Brad!

The good new is that it look good, so be proud and it's not going to rain all day.

Glassdave liked the photo so it must be OK. I see an apprenticeship in my future! Lol. It's not gonna rain for Skaterfest! There's a law against it I think!

You are not done with it. One is the oil tanks need oil in them, they are low. 2 is I would slide the oil tanks over and put a loaf bread, some bottle waters, bottle mustard, and the rest of the stuff to make sandwich on the shelf as well. Maybe change out the bottle mustard for Grey Poupon.

I topped off the oil and put all the lunch items on the shelf as suggested. I also grabbed olive oil for the loaf of bread. If I end up with blue bread and a blown motor, I'll know I mixed the oils up....
