Re: Trailering - engine up or down?
throttle position is only applicable on engines(mostly older ones and some smaller ones) that use mechanical trim locks for reverse operation. Wheather you have an I/O or an OB, its best to trailer with the drive/engine in the up position, but allway use some type of support, either trailer clips( they go on the trim cylinders) for I/O's or "transom savers"( bass boat guys use these) for outboards. Most of the time its not needed on short trips, but it never hurts.
