Rick,
I created a simple mount by using a piece of PT2x4 and attaching?it to the
winch stand.? I then attach the motor to the 2x4 for trailering.? This way I
can keep an eye on it using the rearview mirror?while trailering and it
eliminate the hassle of laying it down and possibly causing?issues.? It's
quick and effective.
Regards,
Skip

So how many of you leave the outboard on your transom while towing and how
many of you put it somewhere else?
On my long trip (1300 miles) from CA to WA I took the 2.5 hp 4 stroke yamaha
(about 38 lbs) off the boat and kept it in the Uhaul, but partly because I
didn't want it to get stolen.
I am wondering if it would be ok to leave it attached to the transom on
shorter day trips around the Puget Sound. The mount is a pretty beefy metal
mount (standard now on M17s?) but I don't know how strong or resistant to
cracking the fiberglass transom is.
Here is a pic of the motor/mount:

Obviously I can toss it in the back of the pickup, but this just adds more
time to the setup and risks leaking oil from the 4 stroke.
Thanks,
Rick
