[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 420177, member: 13975"] Since it appears you have your motor chained to the boat in addition to the locks on the clamps, I would at least give it a try raising it up some. See how much you need to raise it to get your clamps all the way up over the lip and rip a spacer out of some scrap wood. Then just set it on the spacer and re-tighten your clamps. Your cable/chain will give you some peace of mind that it won't sink to the bottom nor fall off while trailering. Theoretically, it should reduce some drag but its hard to tell if it will help performance-wise. But it will definitely help you get that much shallower which to me would be a big deal. [/QUOTE]
