Brownell Boat Stands Wins IBEX Innovation Award

Brownell Boat Stands & Equipment, manufacturer of the highest-quality, safest boat storage equipment on the market, now in its 71st year of operation, announced its new workshop Service Station has been awarded the 2025 IBEX Innovation Award in the Boatyard and Marina Hardware and Software category.

Each year, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) appoints a panel of expert judges selected from Boating Writers International (BWI) members to review new products and present the winners during the Industry Breakfast event, attended by hundreds of boat builders, dealers, and press.

The modular Brownell workshop Service Station is comprised of a pedestal and rotating-mount and can be fitted with either a lower unit and outdrive or outboard fixture. It can be mounted as a floor-mounted pedestal or as a bench-top unit and with 360-degree rotation can fit almost any shop space. Designed for easy balancing and maneuvering of lower units, outdrives and small outboards, the workshop Service Station is a versatile tool. The pedestal base can be rotated 360-degrees, while the t-mount can be fixed at 45-degree increments making it easy to manipulate bulky components.

Adjustable handles allow for optimal leverage when locking and unlocking rotating sections, and a positive locking pin gives added peace of mind, preventing accidental rotation of larger components or top-heavy outboards. The outboard fixture can accommodate outboards up to 200 pounds, while the lower unit and outdrive fixture has coarse and fine adjustment forks that can be locked in place from 6 to 15-inches wide. As an option, Brownell also offers a tool tray that will work with the pedestal mount, capable of holding tools, parts such as anodes, propellers, water pump components, consumables and anything else the technician needs to complete the job.
