Here’s a quick tip – if you need to store your dinghy’s outboard on your yacht’s pushpit, but don’t want to install a permanent block, use a square of thick ply, which the engine will clamp between itself and the pushpit, and wind the clamps down tight. It’ll come off when you want it to, but store the engine securely otherwise.

Do you have a tip that’s just dying to be shared? send it in to pbo@ipcmedia.com with ‘Tip of the Day’ in the subject line!
