Homebuilt IO tools ......... Need HELP

[Don S]

After reading Tailgunners post on his $20 pressure tester I realized we need a section in the stickies for homebuilt tools, stands, lifts, dimensions, or anything of that nature that would help others make their own "Special Tools".
Over the years, there have been many, and I don't remember all of them. So, if you guys would post links to all those types of posts in this thread, I will put together a section for those items in the IO forums stickies.

DO NOT post your tools here, only links to the forum post they were in, if it wasn't in any previous links, please create a new post in the Non Repair IO and Inboard forum, then post the URL of that post here.

Re: Homebuilt IO tools ......... Need HELP

I picked up a "home built" out-drive stand off Ebay that works just fine. After contemplating a yardarm I could not justify the cost I did some digging and contacted several people who bought this stand from this guy on eBay and they all said it works nice. They are not always listed but you can get it from his site. You will have to wait a couple days while he makes it for yout. It is simple and does not have the heavy tires or tilt features but it works fine for the end user who wants to remove/install his drive.

Not looking for something you just go out and buy, looking for members that have made their own tools and can explain how they made them and what they used.
