Unfortanately i have a polarkraft 1448 boat and it has the dumb sunk down transom...decent boat...rather have a flat bottom than the mod v...cant swim shaft into boat...any one have the same problem and how did u strap the handle down...had 2 straps break just wondering for ideas...went to see about a trade on an alumacraft and i guess they are like gold because they want 1800 for bare boat and only give me 1000 for my boat and johson motor.... |

When I had a long tail on my old boat. I put an eyebolt in a rib on the floor and used a turn buckle. worked great |

When I had a long tail, mine had a bracket coming from the trailer to hold up the shaft that just had quick connects to take on and off... |

EVen though my 27 MB LT has the swivel feature, I still trailer it the old way. GD's manual recommended a rope tieing down the handle, the rope stretching across the gunwales just like your regular boat strap. I use two bungees to a couple of metal clamps that are screwed into the rear pods; I also use another two bungees on the handle and these have clip ends that are positioned in a gap between the welded in rear floor and supporting ribs. The "failsafe" is the boat strap. ![]() |

Use a strap as your primary and a rope with a carabiner to a shackle on a floor rib as your back up. Two tie downs = peace of mind. |

Because of my blind, I had to make a vee block then run the rachet strap around the seat on either side of the block and wrap around the handle. The motor is held tight and dont move. |
