Re: Shipping a Motor

[chinewalker]

I’ve done it both ways, disassembly vs. intact. Both work well if you take the time to do it right. Tossing a motor in a box with a couple crumpled up newspapers isn’t going to cut it. Smaller motors can be shipped intact in a sturdy box with either a framework built into it or plenty of cardboard to support it. Some have used spray foam in a bag to provide support. The bigger the motor, the more I would lean toward disassembly. Remove tiller handle, and other bits that stick out and can break off. I shipped a Johnson P years back and it went in two boxes quite nicely. Intact would have taken a wooden crate.
