polkwagner 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2014 New owner of a J-70. I'm sure this will be obvious once I go to a big regatta, but I'm wondering what people do to store the outboard? On the sole below the companionway? Slide it back behind the keel somehow? In a bag? Make a bracket? Thanks in advance! Polk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admin 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 Polk- storing the outboard is done by virtually all boats by placing them in protective bags, then placing it on one side of keel. Place gas or in case of electric outboard no the other side of keel. - Stu J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguewarrior 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2014 We have a Torqueedo, which breaks down into 4 parts. We store the shaft using the bulkhead located at the aft end of the keel. A teak block glued to the back of the bulkhead works well. The battery and control handle go along side the keel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Polk- storing the outboard is done by virtually all boats by placing them in protective bags, then placing it on one side of keel.

polkwagner 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 I have a Torqueedo and we fasten the shaft on the available interior mount (just forward of the compression post). The battery goes on the floor under the step. Handle in the bucket. Seems to work well; no method is ideal. Polk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
