I had to do it!

I would add that most of the motor weight is on the tubes -- fairly close to the mount. The further back you set it the more leverage and stress there will be. I think I might even shorten mine and bring the mount in a little closer to the tube.

I am concerned that the pvc might start to bend in the hot sun. Time will tell. If so I am not out much! Conduit might be a good choice.
