Cool project, pls video the maiden voyage

Outboard has inbuilt tank, I may look to mount a small 2-3 litre tank on opposite side for spare fuel if required (unlikely, I want to keep weight down as much as possible). I will also be fitting rod holders to the rear of the transom to replace the ones I have used to support the mount.

That should keep reels a bit more out of the water too.
