Maybe this link will work.zman said:I just purchased a used 4 stroke long shaft Honda 15 hp for my 14 foot Lund Rebel. When I trailer the boat, the bottom of the motor (sked?) is only about 4 inches from the road (ground). I am worried that when pulling it over uneven highway it will contact the road and damage it. The following is an excerpt from the owners manual I downloaded from Honda Marine for my motor:
When trailering a boat with the outboard motor attached, leave the engine in the normal running position, if possible, and tighten the steering friction lever securely.
If there is insufficient road clearance in the normal running position, then tilt the outboard motor and use a motor support bar, or remove the outboard motor from the boat. Refer to the manufacturers instructions for using a motor support bar.
Has any heard of a motor support bar? I think I have seen them on some motors that have electric tilt. Sorry have only used electric on my boat?I am a total rookie when it comes to this...
You gotta love it when something works the way it should.zman said:Well the one I bought works perfectly for my recessed Shorlander trailer...I didnt even have to drill any holes or cut any thing...stunned I was...it sure seems to take the weight off of the transom...so tonight...Gilligan and I will head out for a "3 hour cruise"...thanks again for all of your replies...
