Post 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?

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

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

Anything is better than your motor bouncing up and down beating the sheet out of everything.

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.

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
