    What to do with my motor when towing?

    It will bounce around and mess up your paint job for sure.... mabey even pull the back down into the water....way back in my younger days I saw a guy loose a 50 hp Merc due to bad wood. His clamp on mount just crushed the wood. The chain held it, but needless to say he took on lots of water...
