Re: ProDrive traveling question Trim it all the way up, and tie the handle off so it don't swing back and fourth. Some don't even go that far, but that's what I do.

Re: ProDrive traveling question yap, da best way ive found is trim it, wrap a rubber bungee strap around ur tiller handle and strap it to da back of ur boat. u should never have any problems if u do this.

Re: ProDrive traveling question I wouldn't tighten down the tension knob to secure the motor to one side. You will just wear out the teflon bushing prematurely.

Re: ProDrive traveling question You can cut a block of wood to keep it from moving from side to side like I did. Or use a bungee cord.

Re: ProDrive traveling question If you have the hyd trim DO NOT travel with the motor trimmed all the way up. You will bust your hoses
Trim all the way up then trim down just enough to relieve the pressure and the motor moves a little bit, I put the reverse lock on and bungee cord the tiller to the grab handle on the back of the boat,
