Default Boat Newbie - How to secure outboard motor while trailering
wrote:
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.


I'd ask your dealer.
I asked the same question this summer for my Evinrude Yachtwin 6hp.
In the past I just left it on it's mount on my sailboat transom.
The dealer told me most people just lay the motor flat in the bed of
their pickup. I didn't like that, so I constructed a sawhorse type
stand for my pickup and that's how I carry my motor now.
