A fishing post from Idaho

I do have a trailer but the trailer is not going to be an option for the motor the way I have it.





This set up is too ridged. If the trailer is on a gravel road it shakes the crap out of the motor. There is no way this is going to work.

I am thinking that I am going to have to put it in the camper shell. Leaking is not a problem. I close the valves and it doesn't leak at all. The motor can be in the same position as on the boat and tilted up out of the water. It can also be up right. It can not be on it's side laying down.
What I want to try is to get a 2"x12"x3' and clamp that on the motor and then put it in the shell. I might also have to give it a foot on the 2x12 to make sure it stays up and not roll over. Strapping it down is going to be a must. All I know is the trailer is not going to work with rough roads. If I stayed on pavement it might be fine. gravel and dirt roads will kill this motor the way I mounted it. Ron
