    Etec motor clips to Keep Motor Centered during transit

    I was fishing (as Co-angler) out of a Boaters Ranger and saw some things I really liked when he was prepping his boat. He had these centering clips that snapped on and off his Etec that would keep is motor centered during transit. Does anyone know where I can purchase these items?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can purchase them at places like Overtons; He probably did like me though and made his own out of 3/4" pvc. I then lightly sanded mine and sprayed them flo. orange to remind me to take them off when launching. Beleive me when they are on the boat, it will only go straignt forward or straight backward. .................Roger

    i made mine out of pvc also.just cut about a 1/3 off lenght wise after you cut them to proper length.then clean up the edges they snap over the sterring rods and hold it straight.you will forget they are there the first couple off times and wonder why you cant turn when launchin .

    I thought I would be on Easy Street by now but somehow I missed the off ramp!

    Just buy a Lock 'n Stow like I did (twice). I have had it on my Ranger Z20 since May of last year. I towed it home from Okeechobee with no problems several times. I drove from Tampa to Miami yesterday to pick up my new saltwater boat. My dealer was so impressed he is adding them to his stock. Actually, they were impressed with several things I had done to the trailer too. I told him us bass boat guys do it one step better.

    Carolina Skiff--sun was setting


    Ranger Z20



    I take it one step further and add rubber blocks on the steering. I put red reflective tape on them. The skiff has them too.


    I bought them from here:
