 Trailering PD motors
How do yall trailer your motors?? I'ven just been trimming it up against the reverse block and tying the handle off to one side.
If I recall, KP said that's the way to do it, but am second guessing that now. Is that right or is there a better way?

 Re: Trailering PD motors
that's what I do. no need to overthink. unless you have a boat with a transom not designed for a ProDrive.

 Re: Trailering PD motors
I think trailering mine like that wore the bushings out in mine.. I now roll like this.. No bouncing or twisting on the transom anymore. That hose on the cav plate is a piece of low pressure Hydro hose I had laying around http://rebeloffroad.net/Gallery/albums/ ... .sized.jpg

 Re: Trailering PD motors
Anything is better than your motor bouncing up and down beating the sheet out of everything.

 Re: Trailering PD motors
I use a bungee cord from back handle to back handle and it holds mine  down just fine.

 Re: Trailering PD motors
I got me a boat not made for a heavy PD so I went with an adjustable angled transom saver from Cabelas. That along wit a strap does the trick.

 Re: Trailering PD motors
you have to buy the transome-saver and cut it to lenth and at an angle to accomadate your motor. I drilled my fin to hold all in place. looks like the same thing i did D DUCK
