How well would this handle vibration? Looking for something to mount on my boat motor cowling. This would be a permanent installation.

It's all plastic, unless you can find a very good way to dampen the vibrations, it probably would not last long. However, it's very easy & quick to detach from the battery. Keeps the battery nicely charged between uses.

I'm sorry, I don't really know, I use mine the garage but not for anything that is vibrating or moving. I would imagine as long as it has a solid base attachment it would be ok, but not sure.

Generally used on boats. I had to drill an 1 1/2" hole to mount it. My guess would be ... no, it's too big for a direct replacement.

Depends on how much junk you have in the boat... and how far you're going to haul it. Big motor..? I wouldn't do it, since the weight would hang quite a bit back on the load. The trailer is stout enough, but I'd be sensible about how much it could handle.

I could not tell you how to mount it, but I can tell you that it is plenty powerful. It is the only motor that I use on my vintage 12' x 5' Aluminum Ouachita jonboat with two heavy adults with the largest battery I could find along with about 50 ponds of gear and it gets us around great. Hope you have fun. I would strongly recommend this motor.

I have driven roughly 6,000 miles with this mount attached now...I can say there is a slight vibration on rougher roads but on smooth roads I have experienced no issues at all. I also think its important to make sure there is good contact between the plate and magnet...I have a slim case between the two and it works very very well.

As others have said, a motor on this type of hull is problematic. Although pictures show it with a motor, it is difficult to get a solid mount. I ended up having to fabricate a plate that is bolted to the left and right rear holes where it is thinnest and then mounted a 30lb electric to the middle of the plate so the motor was in the middle. I added an extension to the motor to have control from the front. Also a huge fix was turning the rudder control around so that it faced the back of the boat.

Hi Alex. Thanks for answering my questions. I think that this mount sounds like it will work well for my purposes. I appreciate your help and look forward to reading your full review.

I installed it on a 16' sylvan fishing boat. as long as you have a solid place to mount it you should be fine.

I used it on my sailboat to mount a 20" TV in the captain quarters. It holds its position, even on a rocking boat. Excellent product.

Since the horn is meant to be mounted under the hood, and generally in front of the radiator, it is sealed and weater proof. It would be ok for your boat as long as it's not mounted under the deck of a pontoon boat, or within a foot or two of the waterling. Be aware that it IS NOT a loud horn. You'd be better off getting a horn from a marine supply store either in person or on-line. They are specifically made for marine vessels.

This bracket is built very well. If the surface it is attached to will handle the 6 hp motor you should be good to go. I'm only using a 2 hp Johnson on mine but would not be the least worried about a larger engine. I'm very happy with this bracket.

I haven't used this on a boat, but I can tell you it has substantial sound. Theirs 2 speakers up front and what seems like a mini sub on the top. You might want something bigger though if your wanting it to entertain the whole boat. If its mounted next to the helm for your entertainment, it would be good.

I used it on my boat, Gives off a decent reflection . don't know how you would mount it because no bracket or holes to screw down. I glued mine in place

No, because I used a Porter cable 1.75hp and no vibration... Your shaft on the dewalt may be loose... or your bit may be bent see if it rolls evenly on a solid flat surface...

There's room to put an electric motor on it but it does not come pre-drilled, nor does it have any mounts already set up for the motor. You'll have to find a motor that has some kind of clamp that will fasten down to the actual boat itself. Hope that helps

I really haven't noticed a vibration. I would imagine it would be minimal as the mower is light weight and pretty easy to handle. It looks like a cross between a regular sized mower and a toy mower. I don't think you would find anything that would be easier to handle.

It really depends on your boat/trailer combination, and your ability to make it work. It is really too long for my setup. If I could mount the plate for the twist lock on my trailer, it would be perfect. But, I don't have a welder, nor do I know how to weld. Quality piece though. If you have access to a welder, and know how to use it, it will work very well. There is enough in the box to make it work with any smaller outboard. You will just need the means to make it work.
