[QUOTE="HeavyHook, post: 387646, member: 18315"] Stopped by where I keep the boat and did some measuring etc today. So when the motor is locked down for when I trailer it has some wiggle to it - it's about a 3/4" - 1" play that turns into what looks like a trampoline when driving. I cut a piece of 2 X 4 with a V notch for lower unit with padding that will connect with an L bracket to trailer frame so I can slide left or right depending on where the boat is sitting when I receive. I hope I am making sense exposing this as it sounds correct in my head but I also have seen what I am doing haha. The wood with be able to slide into trailer frame with L bracket and then I can drop the motor down directly into the V cut out and bungee it down. The motor will still be set all the way down but will elongate that small wiggle room that is turning into a big bounce. Tomorrow or later I will try and set it all up and take pictures for anyone that is curious. I am heading out this week so I can give it a full test. [/QUOTE]
