Brownell Boat Stands: Outboard Motor Stands & Carriers Built for the Serious Marine Professional

When it comes to safely handling, storing, and moving outboard motors, Brownell Boat Stands brings the same uncompromising engineering philosophy to their outboard motor stands and carriers that has made them the go-to choice for boatyards and marinas worldwide. Founded in 1954 by David “Fred” Brownell, the company has built a reputation for producing the highest quality boat stands and equipment on the market. That legacy of precision manufacturing carries directly into their outboard motor stands and carriers.

The OBR Product Line: Purpose-Built for Outboard Engines

Brownell’s outboard motor rack lineup — anchored by models like the OBR1 and OBR2 — is purpose-designed for the demands of professional engine handling. The Large Outboard Rack (OBR2) provides a safe and secure solution for moving the industry’s largest outboards around the shop or showroom, with a 1,200-pound load capacity and a stable footprint, making it ideal for larger V4 engines as well as all V6 and V8 outboards currently available.

Precut mounting plates allow for fast and easy engine mounting, while an included storage tray and ample hanging points let technicians keep the engine and rigging together as a single package. Ergonomic handles combined with a mix of swivel and stationary casters provide ease of movement, and caster locks ensure safe storage while work is being performed.

For smaller powerplants, the Large Outboard Rack/Dolly is ideal for handling and storing outboard motors, offering both mobility and robust support. Whether you’re a dealership moving engines across a showroom floor or a boatyard technician staging motors for seasonal service, Brownell’s outboard rack solutions are engineered to meet the task.

American Steel, American Standards

What sets Brownell apart from competitors in this category is an unwavering commitment to materials and construction. All Brownell stands are 100% American-made using quality American tubular steel; other brands use Asian steel, which can vary widely in quality and is susceptible to rusting quickly, and handles and nuts are made of solid steel for superior strength rather than fragile castings.

Brownell’s manufacturing is backed by 60 years of perfected techniques, including Precision Acme #4 threads and daily redundant quality control — standards that apply equally to their outboard motor handling equipment. All outboard motor stands are available in a painted or hot-dipped galvanized finish for long-term corrosion resistance in demanding marine environments.

Trusted Across the Industry

With over 2,000,000 Brownell Boat Stands in use, the system is proven safe and preferred by professionals worldwide. In over 60 years of operation, a Brownell stand has never failed. For anyone who needs to store, transport, or service outboard motors with confidence, Brownell’s outboard motor stands and carriers represent a category-defining standard in marine shop equipment.
