Well I dug the engine stand out of the shed and went
to work. Used a 2 x 10 and what bolts I could find,
using big nuts for spaces to simulate a 12 degree
transom mount so the lower unit would be straight
vertical, whether upright or inverted.
I put it to a test right away and found it worked
great to drain the gas out of the old Rude.
No more struggling holding an outboard upside
down trying to hit the funnel, and feeling gas
run down your pants leg 😮
I didn’t try reversing the engine before I
rotated it upside down, but beware that
without the reverse lock engaged
the motor could tip back, scratching
the front of the motor.
