I either need to buy or build an engine stand suitable for a 135 Mercury Black Max so I can get it off the boat and dig into the transom. The googles says it's a 400lb engine, give or take a couple. I have 2 stipulations:
1. Needs to be mobile. garage is already packed as it is so I need to be able to move it around.
2. As cheap as possible while being safe/sturdy and mobile
Suggestions?

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

What boat are you having transom issues with? I replaced the transom in my 2003 Lund two years ago. Luckily a member on here loaned me his engine stand for the project. I did a month to month rental on a storage unit to keep my motor stored while I did the repairs.

1990 Venture. Got a bad leak in the rear that just recently started. Coincidentally it started shortly after I smacked an underwater tree wedged up against a bridge piling. I’d just taken off and wasn’t planed out yet so not going too fast but still a good thud. Found a hairline crack coming down from the jack plate. Can’t find anywhere else it could be coming from. Plan is to pull the motor and jack plate and just see what’s what. Crack May just be in the gel coat, or it may be more. Just gonna have to dig in and see.

Are you positive it’s coming out there? There is no other visible damage and I know 100% it’s not coming from a hose or anything. Based on where I can see it coming in, in the bilge, either coming from there from or leaking in around the jack plate bolts through the transom. No other real possibilities.

You are probably right, but i would at least fill the bilge with water and make sure you know exactly where its leaking.
