Re: Trailering - engine up or down?
hate to tell ya never i repeat nevr use a transom saver unless you hate your boats transom and motor. if your boat should shift or as all do flex and bounce going down the road the transom saver keeps a stiff leg under the motor which in turn pushs up on the motor and cracks your transom and is another reason for transom leak and rot from bottom bolts being pulled out on and loosened in the transom which then causes either a leak or slight wet issue on your transom.
if you can tow your motor down on the trim pistons another words run motor down till it rest on the 2 trim pistons. unless your trailer is to low then tow it in the locked up position.
i have 2 i can tow down and rest i have to tow locked up i shorten a couple of there up locks.
