I think you were making a joke....but I want to be clear....when the
boat is up on the trailer, getting read to by towed, should the motor
and lower unit be roughly 90 degrees to the pavement?

Thanks.Dave.

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.
:-)


No joke. You raise the drive to avoid damaging it and the prop when
trailering.

When long term storing it on a trailer you should lower the drive.
