[QUOTE="surfman, post: 380777, member: 7404"] Most manufacturers recommend the motor be trailered in the upright position to minimize stress on the transom and bracket but, they will also say that if ground clearance is a problem, and often is, that a trailering bracket of some sort should be used to help support the motor to keep it from bouncing. A heavy tongue weight is better than a light tongue weight, the trailer will fish tail if it is too light on the tongue. [/QUOTE]
