Making a Marine Engine Mount
My father is a fisherman. He spends most of his days deep sea fishing or taking tourists deep sea fishing. One day my father was out on a fishing trip when his engine started to have problems. He inspected it as well as he could, but had to wait until getting back to harbor to find the problem. When he docked the ship, he looked at the marine engine mount and figured out that the mount itself needed to be repaired. Since my father is a fisherman, he doesn’t make a lot of money and he was concerned about the cost of a new marine engine mount.
My father talked to a good friend of his and they decided to make their own marine engine mount. They researched different methods and gathered materials. One day they pulled both of their boats from the water and let them dry. Then they attached their new mounts by welding them on to the sides of the ship. They replaced the engine and made sure everything was sturdy and dry before putting the boats back into the water. My father and his friend love their new marine engine mounts! They enjoy them so much that they have offered to make them for others in the harbor.
