For a 10hp outboard, I nailed a 3 ft 2x6 horizontal to a stud in my garage and two 2x4 s vertically to support it.

If this is what you need...

First of all, how big an outboard are you talking about?

If it's not too big, a plain old sawhorse will serve as an engine mount. Heck, if you have a big outboard, just build a bigger sawhorse.

I used one of the cheapo $5 saw horses from Home Cheapo.

Only needed one.

Hello Joe, and WELCOME!!
I put my 4 HP Johnson in a big commercial trash can and clamp it to the rim (with a scrap of 2X). The plastic can protects the motor from damage and is used for test-running by filling it halfway. Works well, and I got the can for "nuthin".
