Question
smoked perch
hey. i'm a new (used) boat owner. i remember dad always keeping the motor down while on the trailer (with the exeption of putting in/out of the water). so that's what i do.
but i see some trailered boats with motors up. i would imagine this is harder on the transom, hitting bumps in the road and whatnot.
i've got about 9-10" clearance from the bottom of my prop to the ground when trailered, and figure it's safe from bottoming out over bumps while trailering.
any input guys?
