Has 2 old razors in the garage. Just made one of these today. Mine doesn't have the 4 holes in the base, it only had 1. I had to drill some. Mounted it today and trying to decide if I should paint it
I just did this, cheers for the idea. I did weld a bigger base plate on for more stability and an adjustable rubber foot where the front wheel used to sit. Beats paying $850 (AUD) for a store bought setup
Great idea. I’m not going to cut the wheel mounts off though. I’m going to modify them so they act as a stand when pivoted up. Should give it a little extra support.
I discovered that if you flip the mounting bracket over and have a vertical surface to mount to the pole will sit straight vertically. Just find the right height so that when your fold it down it doesn't hit the deck before it locks in place. On my boat I had to mount it more to the right. Otherwise it hits my bow-mounted seat when the graph is installed. I'm using with a Garmin 73dv. My scooter is currently painted pink as it was my granddaughters.
Pretty ingenious use of a kid's toy! Trouble is, I gave our kids' Razors away to the neighbors, once they outgrew them! Are you still using this setup, and how is it working for you?
How is this holding up over the past months? I watched some other videos since you put this in service to see if it gets in your way or not. What are your thoughts after some use? I think it's a brilliant reuse of a razor. Nice work!
It's been holding up great for me! The height is really nice after a long day and pivoting down to stow makes it easy to use a boat cover. Mind you I primarily fish an electric-only lake, so it's not getting beat on running on plane.
@@goodmanfishing I fish some pretty big water with a glass boat, probably a good idea to bolt through to a backing plate. I really appreciate your video. I love hot rodding items to make them cool and serviceable. Tight lines! 🎣
@Goodman_fishing Is this still working for you? I like the idea… What about where it mounts to the boat? Any concerns? What is the yellow hot rod under wraps?😮
This is working out great! My boat isn’t a high speed glass boat, so it doesn’t see some of the shock loading other boats will see. That said, it will be pretty durable once screwed down/anchored well. Hot rod is a 1972 Plymouth Cuda 👍
@@goodmanfishing Thanks for the reply I might try this mod. Looks like it will work. True American Mopar muscle. One of the best along side a 1970 LS6 Chevelle SS
Troll much..... just because you spend money on equipment does not mean you have spend good money on over priced under engineered crap that are sub par to mount your electronics. I thought this was a great idea I plan on making one for my 126SV unit.
