Help! Cannon Mounting Help Needed

Hi everyone.

So a part that I thought would be simple has turned out to be quite a challenge. I am not sure why. Anyway, I am trying to get my dual sterns mounted on my cruiser and am having a really hard time. Can you wonderful people post up some pictures of how you have mounted your cannons so I can get an idea? I don't have any metal-working capabilities right now, however, so I won't be able to duplicate those kinds of mounts.

Thanks!

 

This thread has some ideas, tons of different methods.

Not duals but might give you some ideas.

 

Thanks guys. Steve, that one gives me an idea. I already have a wooden mount on top of the deck that is similar to yours. I think the mount under the deck might work. I won't use it for anything but securing the cannon itself, though.

I might also try to build a supporting mount like the one in the thread posted by Snipe. That might work as well.

 

Take a piece of hardwood split it down the middle after drilling two holes through it One Direction then drill 3 holes the other direction for bolts and blind nuts making a wooden clamp but both cannons in it, glue one side of the clamp to the bottom of the deck.

 

Here's how I mounted my dual sterns. Easy to make with just a hacksaw and hand drill.

 

Wow, that's a nice setup Beaver. I hate it when a kid half my age is smarter than me....
