There is no problem leaving the motor on while trailering on M_17s I have built.
We doubled up the lam and added extra reinforcing just for that purpose.
I would recommend stowing the stainless motor mount in the UP position to
reduce the ARM Times WEIGHT moment. Some people also tie a line between the
motor and a cleat to reduce bouncing. The same for the M_15s. No problem.
Just don't park her overnight and get that Honda swiped.
