I plan to hang my trolling motor (60lbs) under one of the 2x6 joists on my dock.
My plan is to hang it off 2 short slings attached to eyebolts, then I can just take it down.
It would be easiest if I could hang it off 2 separate 1/2"x3.5" eye screws, screwed vertically into the underside of the joist. Easy peasy- except I don't really like to hang dead weight off a screw.
My other option is drill through the joist and use a horizontal eyebolt- except then the weight is at 90degrees to the eyebolt shaft, which is the weakest part of the bolt.
It is only 60lbs- about 30lbs per bolt. I am probably over thinking this- but thought I should ask some smarter people before I do something even dumber than my usual.
Thoughts of how I should proceed?
Thanks
