Good point, it would be a inviting target for thieves.

Wesley,
I will have to weigh in with Bones on this issue. Even though I push my
M-17 with a tiny Honda 2 and mount it in the transom cutout, I always
carry it in the back of the Jeep. Carrying 50+ pounds on the back of the
boat may not hurt, but it has the potential of loosening the bracket or
worse the transom. Pulling a trailer with extra weight in the back is
also an invitation for sway. When I pull into the local Burger King I
don't worry if the motor will be there when I get back.

I trailed my M15 with the 2 hp Honda in place on the motor bracket on
the transom. The motor only weighs 28 pounds. Never had a problem.
I plan to trailer my M17 with the 50-pound Yamaha on the motor bracket
too. The bracket is pretty strong and well backed up on the transom as
far as I can tell. I like to minimize the work involved in trailing and
launching (am I lazy?!), and hefting that motor on and off might invite
back trouble. We will see how it goes.
