outboard mounting

I wouldn't desribe the Ezygo as a "storage" method, carrying method, yes.

Besides taking up most of the tray room of a ute it then becomes nothing more than an outboard loaded on a trolley.

Certainly not the type of system you'd want for the space saving solution to carrying an outboard on a camper trailer.

Interesting comment Wizard.
As I said on the other thread, I have no affiliation with Ezygo and have not even seen one in the flesh - but will tomorrow.
Not sure that I see your distinctioin between storage and carrying. On a CT you store it for the purpose of carrying. All in the words I guess.
In any case, my outboard is 1100mm long x about 360 mm wide. When I contacted Ezygo for the dimensions of their product suitable for a CT/ Caravan draw bar or tray back ute, they quoted 1220mm long x 400 mm wide. The width at the trolley wheels is 600mm. The model for a ute with drop down tail gate is longer as the tracks need to extend to cleat the tailgate.

On the draw bar of a CT the extra space required to mount using this device compared to strapping it down with ropes (for example) is miniscule. Plus you get the benefit of dramatically reduced lifting, ease of use and a trolley to store the motor on at home and for moving it too and from the boat when on the road.

I acknowledge that in the back of a vehicle, it takes up a bit of extra space, due to the tracks having to be mounted far enough away from a wall to fit the trolley wheels, but if you pack soft items around it, the impact is reduced. But of course this thread is largely about carrying on a CT.

I'll have a closer look tomorrow and post a report on the other thread.
