I wouldn't recommend it. Every time you hit a bump or something else causes the trailer to bounce, you've got the entire weight of that motor (which is standing off the transom by several inches, think of the lever principle here) putting tremendous stress on your transom. Over time, it can weaken and fail. In addition, the risk of the motor disengaging from your mount is just not worth it. I recommend either having a carrier plate welded to your trailer for the purpose, storing the motor in your tow vehicle (on its side, tiller side down), or storing the motor in the boat itself. ANYTHING but leaving it mounted on the boat! I hope this helps! |
