#3226, "RE: Trailering a Jon Boat and 25 HP outboard"
In response to In response to 2


          

Hmmmmm, I appreciate the feedback Rob and Ken.

Mine is a manual trim, and leaving it all the way down in drive position makes me nervous, since there isn't a ton of clearance and the way that little boat bounces, I'm worried about ripping off the lower unit or grinding off the skeg.

OK, college students, engineers, and inventors...there you have it....the business case:

Develop an effective universal motor toter or solution for small manual trim (and maybe electric trim) outboards that secures the engine from up/down and side to side bounce as its being trailered on the back of a boat.

I could see a bracket that attaches to the trailer or the transom of the boat itself that could do the trick. I'm just a sales guy, so if you develop the solution and it works, I'll help market and sell it with you! I just can't handle structural engineering, fabrication and all that that!
