Default Boat Newbie - How to secure outboard motor while trailering


wrote in message
ups.com...
Hello,

I am a buying a 20' Carolina Skiff DLX with a Yamaha F90 stroke
outboard. When I trailer the boat, what precautions do I need to take
with the motor? I believe all I need to do is have the motor lowered
to normal running angle while on the trailer. Is there anything else I
need to be aware of? Do I need a support bar?

Thanks.
D.


Actually you need to *raise* the motor to a trailering position when
trailering it, not lowering it to a normal running angle.
